Americans suck and Canadians are whiny fucks. First chance I get I am off this damn continent. The only thing keeping me here is my kids and my grandmother, but as soon as the kids are somewhat grown (or at least old enough to fly internationally alone) I am going on world tour and I havent any plans of ever coming back Altho I will probably keep my American citizenship
New Orleans
Athens Greece
Sydney Austrailia
Amsterdam Holland
Florence Italy
London England
Thailand (I cant remember the name of the city I was researching a while back, but not Bangkok o.0)
Tokyo Japan
Ganzo lives in Detroit. He can be forgiven for not having a good opinion of US cities as he lives in the bottom of the barrel.
Your list is interesting in it has some of the nastiest shithole places in the fucking universe.
Nobody in their right mind who's been to Athens, Amsterdam, Florence, New Orleans pre hot tub, or 99% of Thailand would want to live there. I've been to all those places, and even my dirtbag womanizing ralf life friends wouldn't live in any of them.
Those places may seem cosmopolitan, but when you actually visit them you'll be surprised how nasty they are, and not at all good to live in.
Visit yes. Live, no.
