Are you talking about pop music?

[sonicl]

I thought everybody was?

[A Thousand Threads]

Munich? really?
I don't like Munich but maybe i'm a little prejudiced, i had my first car crash in Munich.
nah,
all in all Munich is pretty ugly, a "wannabe Vienna".



here's my list

London
Vienna (i'll probably move there next year)
Prague
Istanbul
New York
Lisbon
Berlin
San Francisco
Paris

It's funny how the European board members decry our fantasies about their "fair" cities. I feel the same way about San Francisco! Anyone who thinks they want to live in the real city, doesn't know how overpopulated it is, how insane the cost of living is, and how miserable it is driving in the hilly area. Plus it's in California, which puts you under the control of the most insane state government in the U.S.

I wouldn't honestly want to live in any city. I'd much rather live in a large town or in a country village within easy travelling distance of a decent city.

No, really, you shouldn't live there. Lille is far better, in France

It is the only place in France I've been to. I thought it was nice and quiet. But I'll take your word for it.

I don't actually know all the cities on my list but they just seem like cool places to live.

[hat and bread]

San Fransisco re: Dead Air - yeah, but food, art, food, art, food, cool summer, food, music, food, cool summer, food, no summer, food. Who needs a car in SF anyways? I have feet. Plus the hills are lovely.

Osaka/Kobe (been there, done that, gladly do it again)

Sapporo (not too far)

London

Berlin

NYC (temporarily living in New York City for to finish an ESL teaching course for me job. There's much going on, fo sure, but it's not unlike living in a shopping mall. There's nary a neighborhood in Manhattan that isn't well along in the gentrification process. Even where I'm staying in Harlem. Maybe I'd like to live somewhere in Brooklyn)

Austin (been there, done that, maybe I'll go back post-nuclear winter)

Reykjavik (I think I have completely unreal expectations of this city, but what the nut, I'd give it a try)


Seattle (fuck a bunch of sunlight)

Vancouver (ditto)

Chicago (Lived there as a child. It still feels like home somewhat).

Darjeeling (Hooray for Himalayas!)

Thimphu-Bhutan (ditto)

ha ha.

i live in this tiny town in new mexico hence this is my link to civilization.

luckily next month im moving to albuquerque, which is a mid-sized city (700K people), and while it's not my dream city nor the cultural capital of the universe, it's pleasant and interesting enough that it should keep me off the internet in good measure-- i'm currently too attached to it because, well, my house right now is like a space capsule in the void, and how else would i know what's up on earth?
