Hehe I'd have to say Las Vegas too!! That place has tons of fun every day, soooo lively! Los Angeles... too much smog! I live here too, w00t.

Depression is a luxury only middle-class Westerners can afford to have - most of the world is too busy trying to survive to think about whether they're depressed or not.

VEGAS, BABY!!! It's so cool my grandfather lives there!

I'm not saying this cuz my folks are hungarians, I've been to almost all cities worth nameing in Europe, and there's just no place like Budapest

I honestly wonder whether that's good or not, hmmm....

I can't say that I've been around the world, because I haven't. There are lots of places I would still like to visit. I did, however, really enjoy visiting Naples, Italy. Beautiful city. Strange that I live in Naples now, isn't it? Though, this is the Naples, Florida, not the Naples, Italy.

I don't think that there is a 'best city' just as there is no 'best music'. Surely a trance community can understand this. We can give all sorts of reasons and memories as to why we think such a thing, but something is lost when to transfer your memory to words - the power just goes away. Not completely, of course - the right writer can evoke all sorts of memories within a person, but they shall only ever be based off of the reader's own perception and locationary basis.

Not that I'm attacking the subject of the thread, just elaborating a point for discussion.

I'm kidding man, Compton is a shithole.

I liked Melbourne a lot for the sort time i was there. I think i perfer it to Sydney although Sydney was a wicked city. At home I Like London as its so different from place to place and it holds a lot of history. Bristol is also a very nice city.

Compton, CA. Excellent schools, family oriented neighborhoods.

Thoughts it was East LA

It all depends on what you want from the city you live in. I love Denver, because the weather is fairly moderate, but we have some of the best mountains to ski on, in the world, a mere couple of hours away. There are many places that I haven't been to that may be better though.

Toronto has the best party scene, great schools (minus the fact the teachers go on strike every few years), great shopping, lots of work for those who want to.
