Date: February 23rd, 2018 2:42 PM Author: Sadistic razzmatazz crackhouse I love the chain-smoking and attitude of Paris, I love Parisians despite their terrible rep and I actually love the French. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3901799&forum_id=2#35470860) |

Date: February 23rd, 2018 2:43 PM Author: Sadistic razzmatazz crackhouse Yeah but I've been and I'm not Japanese and this is something Japanese experience because they see French culture/Paris as the absolute height of refinement and then, of course, it's not.

Date: February 23rd, 2018 2:43 PM Author: ruddy fantasy-prone pervert hell OK. Why did you find Paris to be anywhere near the equal of NYC or Tokyo? London has a lot more in common with those two. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3901799&forum_id=2#35470874) |
|
Date: February 23rd, 2018 2:45 PM Author: Sadistic razzmatazz crackhouse Yeah I'm not talking about commonalities, these are my three favorites. In terms of the mix of food, culture, vibe, sights, these three are just my absolute favorites. It's little things like blue Parisian rooftops, NYC bagels, how when stores close in Tokyo they play the New Years song, it's hard to explain but these three are the best.

Date: February 23rd, 2018 2:47 PM Author: ruddy fantasy-prone pervert hell OK. I have actually never been to Paris, I'm just noting the common wisdom among travelers that Paris is hella overrated and is actually kind of a dump.

|
Date: February 23rd, 2018 2:49 PM Author: Sadistic razzmatazz crackhouse A lot of people have an idealized vision of Paris that isn't the reality obviously, but Paris does have a magic to it I very much enjoy. You can see why it's attracted artists and writers for hundreds of years to call it home. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3901799&forum_id=2#35470916) |

Date: February 23rd, 2018 2:49 PM Author: ruddy fantasy-prone pervert hell OK. I'll probably go sometime in the next decade and form my own opinion. For now all I've got is what I read. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3901799&forum_id=2#35470918) |

|
Date: February 23rd, 2018 2:50 PM Author: Sadistic razzmatazz crackhouse To me, NYC is the king of cities and has the best mix of everything. But if one came close, it would be Tokyo. Tokyo is mind blowing. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3901799&forum_id=2#35470920) |
|
Date: February 23rd, 2018 3:09 PM Author: Stimulating khaki native Well you started off handicapping NYC its arguably biggest problems, both of which happen to also be problems Tokyo doesn't have. To the contrary, Tokyo has no blacks and its train system is the envy of the world; it is incredible.
Tokyo is just more intense in almost every way. You want cultural heritage sites? There are thousand year old temples. Want green space? Their gardens are unmatched and you won't get mugged in one. Want skyscrapers? Multiple districts full of them. Shopping? Try huge underground malls with restaurant caliber food courts. Nerd shit? Akihabara has no equivalent. Times Square is a kitschy joke compared to the neon glitter of Tokyo. The list goes on and on. |
|
Date: February 23rd, 2018 3:11 PM Author: Sadistic razzmatazz crackhouse All this yes, BUT, the energy of NYC is unmatched anywhere. NYC is a chaotic symphony. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3901799&forum_id=2#35471120) |

Date: February 23rd, 2018 3:42 PM Author: impressive abusive round eye site The "energy" of NYC is exceeded in China for sure. Have you ever been to Shanghai or Beijing? They are fucking zoos. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3901799&forum_id=2#35471405) |

Date: February 23rd, 2018 3:44 PM Author: Sadistic razzmatazz crackhouse I've been to Beijing. It's "energy" is disgusting. It is a mish mosh of mongoloid people, smog and it terrifies me. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3901799&forum_id=2#35471416) |
|
Date: February 23rd, 2018 3:55 PM Author: impressive abusive round eye site Agreed. Just saying if you are going based on what is the most "lively" city, they are batshit insane levels of activity. They make Times Square or Rockefeller Center at Christmas feel like Boise. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3901799&forum_id=2#35471523) |
|
Date: February 23rd, 2018 3:34 PM Author: impressive abusive round eye site Tokyo is one of the most densely populated cities in on the planet and it is fucking immaculately clean/organized and filled exclusively with polite people. It feels like the exact opposite of New York. It is so clean and punctual it makes Switzerland look like a shithold. It is the most glaring example of the drawbacks of having a multicultural society.

Date: February 23rd, 2018 2:52 PM Author: ruddy fantasy-prone pervert hell Are we ranking cities based on how objectively great they are, or on subjective enjoyment?
Like, some of the cities I remember most fondly are smaller cities that I had low expectations for, but who significantly exceeded those low expectations. |

i actually like central london a lot, it's very walkable |
|
Date: February 23rd, 2018 3:39 PM Author: impressive abusive round eye site What the fuck do you mean "impenetrable"? Paris is much more walkable than London. With the exception of the champs elysees during a big event, I've never felt like the sidewalks in Paris were too small. (Thanks, Haussmann!) And they did a much better job of not letting cars take over than London, where it feels like there are metal barriers all over the place.
