And assuming you are talking about Nottingham, UK..that doesn't count. That's not a third world country, that's just a poor city.
EDIT: I miss read that, my badums. |
yeah, I was just teasing, Nottingham is rated as one of the worst places in the uk but it's pretty soft where i've been, in the city centre hardly seen anyone, but obviously the suburbs are a lot rougher. Just some silly humour really, it's ranked as the guncrime capital of the uk, yet i've felt safer there at midnight than in places I know much better

Aside from Quebecois, how cosmopolitan is Montreal really though? I've never been there, I just always viewed Toronto as more international in nature.
There are days in DC where I probably hear six or seven foreign languages on my way to work before I catch my first snippet of English. My bus route goes through a few predominantly international neighborhoods and then I get off outside the World Bank, which is only like 15% US employees. And then about a quarter of the students in my program are international as well. Adds a little flavor to the day, and makes it easy to find the most amazing ethnic restaurants. Like within two blocks from my apartment there's an Italian, Greek, Chinese, Thai, Ethiopian, Mexican, and Peruvian restaurant. As well as a fifties-style American diner and a French bakery. |
I guess my main point is that I think the lesser thought of cities are a lot more 'beautiful' such as copenhagen, stockholm, prague, Seville, Bordeaux, Bilbao, Berlin, Munich, St Petersburg etc.
