at least for couple of months...i spent my whole life in the same city, it's capital, but only about 300.000 citizens. lately i find it a bit depresing...nothing much is happening, it's very quiet, and you bump into same people every day... i want to try out a city with +2.000.000... if i could pick a city to live in at the moment, london would probably be my #1 pick, then paris, new york, barcelona...hmm any of you ever think of that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lets move to NY |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i live in a really dirty/expensive one full of dollybirds and scumbags. I'd prefer NY or London.. My popslives in Paris so i know it quite well an love it to bits. Been to barcelona 3 times but only scratched the surface really. However.... i want my next trip away to be as far away from civialization as possible. |

Just moved to London from a (dead) city of 1 million.................. it's different! But very cool! I would highly recommend it....... |

im constantly having this feeling im missing out coz of this... i always thought oposite of dublin...i haven't been there, but i heard it's a really lovely city, quiet in a way, but also with plenty things to do as it's a big city. new york would be awesome to live in, but i don't have the money for that right now... |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i don't like people enough to want to be around that many of them. |
||||||||
|
|

i hate new york solely on the principal that im a red sox fan. boston is a great fucking city, so much to do and great people in it too. YANKEES SUCK!!!! |
||||||||
|

|
|
it's funny/paradoxical, that you feel lonelier in a big city than you do in a small one. it's not people i want to try out big city for... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im for barcelona |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you might connect easier there because it's also southern europe. and it seems all exiting, from what ive heard, yet livable, ny and paris are just too grand |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's very young people friendly, isn't it? plenty of great gigs/festivals going on too. oh, and the ladies!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i haven't been in new york yet, but i guess it can get a bit scarry. as for paris and barcelona...they aren't all that different imo... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
everybody is always so enthousiastic about it i believe it's radiating with live paris is so old |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep..been to barcelona three times but only scratched the surface.... recomended! dublin... very much pub-based culture with plenty of craic if you want it and a very healthy electronica scene. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Kiev is 3 million plus, but i bump on same people everyday still. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
craic? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wonder if people who live in big cities ever get tired of it, and want to move to smaller ones...it's all so confusing. but anyhow, i'd love to try it out one day. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i moved to a suburb of it, so all the benifits without the hassle |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's one option, but the impression i got from suburbs is pretty terrible...quite depressing as well. it just isn't the same as living in the city. funny thing is, i could easily live in some small village as well...a man of extremes i guess :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well it's not horrible here, but nicely boring |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha, nicely put :) what city are you from, again? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
["craic" = "good times"] suburbia is the pits. i live a perfect 30 mins walk from the city center... not too near, not too far Worst place i ever was was Slough, where the Office is set, for a week long programming course. Jesus it was dismal and grey and just the worst place ever... perfect for the Office. You just knew people living there were the saddest fuckers ever. |
||||||||

|
btw, is it just me, or is Los Angeles the city with most moronic citizens? i watched some documentary, and if i didn't see it i wouldn't belive that people that moronic exist. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the hague, it's not metropolitan or anything |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it went the other way round for me. if i end up with money though i would def get a flat there. i miss certain aspects of living in a very big city. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think my aunt lives there...or at least she did :) haven't seen her in a while. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, i'll bring this up next time we talk...im really interested in hearing some more :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
sure, it's always a pleasure. |

I like swansea cause it's got the lot and it's not too crowded I don;t think I could live in london, it's a bit yucky =op Fun ! But yucky |

new york can be overwhelmingly large, and you get a real sense of anonymity there unless you really go out of your way to find people. any huge city is like that though. if i were you, i'd find a midsize city with a nice amount of things to do but not absolutely huge either. london seemed nice when i went there, not quite as all encompassing as new york or tokyo. |

i live in a little island who's population was 12,604 two years ago. it's probably gone up a thousand since then. it's also a shore residency so about half of these people aren't here year round. i rarely go anywhere without seeing someone i know. i don't like it at all. |

move to berlin... |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||

I also want to live in a big city for a while. I've always been fascinated with movies from big cities like Tokyo and NY, where people seem to be so lost and lonely between all the people and the neon-signs in the big city. It could have been cool for a while, but I can't really imagine to settle in a big city. BTW; I live in a city/town with 150.000, and I see new faces all the time :) |

oh man, i hate them germans. and i don't like germany one bit. mortsto, well, i'd like to just try it out as well...perhaps spend like two months per year there or something :) |

YES, I would like to live in Tokyo. That would be fucking great. Vegas was kinda cool for a week, although I'm not sure i would want to live there. Crazy hot Nipponese chics in Vegas. |

city life is generally more stressful and full on, but also more convinient |

I live in a place called St. John's, which has about 150,000 to 200,000 people... I graduate from university next year, and I think I would love to move to Toronto... it just seems like a nice city to me... and it's not TOO big... Ottawa is nice too... |

+ convenient + variety + sometimes are quality great however, - expensive - often dirty - can deliver minor claustrophobia (not just indoors, but outdoors since the view is obstructed) |

"i wonder if people who live in big cities ever get tired of it, and want to move to smaller ones..." this is an apt observation. you know the expression, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence? :) nyc can be a very expensive and difficult place to live. drop me a line if you ever visit, though. |

it's always good to live in different locations. thing is, if you've never lived in a big city before, it's probably a good experience living in one for a while, but more than likely you'll tire of it; and of course, vice versa applies, too. |

Berlin is the nicest city i've been to. Really cool clubs, nice people, amazing buildings, tasty beer I liked NY a lot aswell London is also cool, but a little hostile I don't like paris so much, quite boring actually |

Well... I don't know how many people live in the city I live in, but I know that even though this is the second largest city in Norway, it is only a small city... I'd like to try a big city for maybe one semester or something.. and I'm planning on taking a year of my studies in china, but I don't think I'd ever go live in a big city... |
||||||||
|

i forgot all about tokyo...that'd be fun for sure! |
