DaVinci 0 #27 November 20, 2013 Check out #6.... I doubt very many people would consider Shanghai a great place to live. And # 2... If you have money it is pretty nice. But a severe case of the haves and have nots. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #28 November 20, 2013 DaVinciCheck out #6.... I doubt very many people would consider Shanghai a great place to live. but the list was for places to visit, not live. And Shanghai definitely is a place to visit. Perhaps a more interesting destination than Beijing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weekender 0 #29 November 20, 2013 kallendCheck out #8 www.lonelyplanet.com/travel-tips-and-articles/lonely-planets-best-in-travel-2014-top-10-cities Miley Cyrus is the hottest women in the world according to Maxim. any list that puts Chicago over New York, London or Rome is the Maxim Hot 100 of Travel lists. Chicago is a place people have to visit from time to time because some of their clients ancestors were forced there by the inability to survive in NY, London or Rome. Its not a destination for pleasure. Its a place that people from relevant cities are held over at. No one who has a decent east coast education (read real education) believes otherwise.

rickjump1 0 #30 November 20, 2013 "No one who has a decent east coast education (read real education) believes otherwise." Well, that leaves me out. When I think of Chicago, all I can come up with is Richard Speck and the Chicago Stock Yards. Oops I forgot about all those neat people (from Chicago) who were running the dropzone at Lake Wales, Fl. years ago.Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

And Shanghai definitely is a place to visit. Perhaps a more interesting destination than Beijing. True, but he is implying that Chicago is a great place. I can't agree with it being on that list or #6. I have spent time in Chiacgo - By force, not choice and each time it is a great day when I leave. Well, I'll be honest. I had a good trip there once when I was a kid. But once the blinders of youth came off, I saw it for what it really was. And I have fun each time I am there... But because of the company, not the location. The bean didn't impress me, not a fan of baseball or American Football. And the museums were OK, but I have been to better in places like DC and NY.

regulator 0 #32 November 21, 2013 I'd put a place like Barcelona, Spain any day over chicago. I've been there for a site survey. Came in from 57 and as far as you can see on either side was crappy housing projects. No thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
