Re: What are your top cities around the world?
Bangui is amazing - I love paddling in the river at night
Birmingham is ace - high cuisine unlike anywhere else in the UK and avant garde road junctions
Dhaka - fantastic blues scene
Douala has colonial charm and haute cuisine as well as being the artistic hub of Africa
Kabul - since the taliban takeover I like to weekend here if I need some peace and quiet with no pounding music (or any music!) to spoil it's quaint charm

Venice, good food, very quiet and no cars.

Please don't confuse my personality with my attitude. The former is me, the latter a reflection of you.

Re: What are your top cities around the world?
My list, mainly to do with personal feelings than any traveler surveys:
1. NYC - blows everything else away.
2. London - creative capital of Europe.
3. Geneva - it's beautiful around there.
4. Phnom Penh - charming and still small enough to get your head around.
5. Bangkok - an amazing hub, much going on but too vast to get my head around.
6. Benares - just for being way out there in weirdness stakes.
7. Cairo - a fucking nightmare but you have to see it.
8. Livingstone - a very entertaining crossroads near a waterfall.
9. Kathmandu - a stinking and polluted and diseased mess with charm.
10. Prague - good architecture and beer with statuesque ladies abounding.

Silence, exile, and cunning.
