What is the #1 city???????
Although New York, Paris and Sydney offer the best of the best, you may want to pack your bags and head to the No. 1 city.
TOP 10
Best Cities to Live In
By Dennis O'Connell
AskMen.com's Entertainment Correspondent
Tired of where you live? Well, we're not. That's why we've asked our readers, consulted with the experts, tracked down travel agents, and even researched the Web, to compile AskMen's top places to live. To be fair, we have selected one city from 10 different countries because we know that all countries were created equally, but some are better than others.
Oh, and for the record, the list examined the city's nightlife, standard of living, job sector, arts and culture, weather, state of affairs, and all of the other things that encompass daily life.
10. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
So what if the crime gets you [shot] down at times, and the telecommunication companies have yet to provide phones for everyone -- that is why you have mobiles, no? You can bet your last Brazilian Real that with the best beaches in the world, you will not be looking for your phone anyway. Also, this is the country that brought you Gisele Bundchen, so need we say more?
9. Frankfurt, Germany
Germany is one of the richest and most modern countries in the world. It offers great employment careers, an elevated standard of life, and is rich with history. Few countries manage to blend state of the art technology with arts and culture like the Germans do. Football is the passion and beer is the beverage of choice (or anything with alcohol content). Germany's "aversion" to military spending after World War II partially explains why it has risen so much, by pouring all of its finances into health, sciences, the economy, and all the other good things in life.
8. Paris, France
How could we leave out the City of Lights? Whether you wish to go sightseeing or spend your honeymoon in Paris, the French Capital has something for everyone. It is for this reason that many young foreigners live in Paris for a few years to learn the culture, history and the bad manners (oh c'mon, don't even think of blasting me...). Although the food will take some time to get used to, you can drink enough wine to lose your taste buds, so don't worry, be happy.
7. London, United Kingdom
While Ireland's Dublin has rapidly risen in status, London still has a unique charm amongst international cities. Yes, the weather is gloomy and many would never live there, but the raw energy of London and its deep historical roots are hard to beat. The city has also managed to do well economically, despite shunning the EU. As for Fish 'N Chips, hey, it can't be that bad with all that beer. In all fairness, there has been a culinary improvement in London in recent years, as Europeans have settled in the Foggy City and brought along their influences.
6. Hong Kong, China
Yes, Tokyo, Singapore and Bangkok have much to offer, but as the gateway into China, Hong Kong is a pearl in the Far East as capitalism has collided with communism. The place is always alive, even after the British handed the island back to the Chinese. Hong Kong is full of history and provides a glimpse of what happens when Asian beliefs meet European culture.
5. Madrid, Spain
Valencia, Barcelona, Madrid, Sevilla... Spain is just beautiful. The weather is great, the ladies are stunning and the food is pretty good too. While Barcelona's thriving economy would help it outrank Madrid, some of us prefer to live in peaceful times all year long; sorry Barcelona.
4. New York City, United States
San Francisco, New Orleans, Santa Fe, Seattle, Charleston, Phoenix, and Chicago are all wonderful cities. In fact, many in the panel even preferred Chicago, but New York is the capital of the world for a reason. Cosmopolitan, diverse, amazing food, great nightlife, lots to do, big parks, and the center of the business world. With Bill Clinton's wife running the State, it can only get better.
3. Rome, Italy
While Florence, Venice and Milan all got votes, Rome's popularity in international circles and its rich history, combined with its fashion, modernity, cleanliness, arts, and culture, made it stand out. If you have never been to Italy, make sure to go. If you happen to visit Europe, then consider your trip incomplete until you give Rome a visit. If the country focused more on the economy, it could place even higher, but isn't that what gives it its Italian charm?
2. Sydney, Australia
Sydney (along with Melbourne) are part of the reason why so many people love Australia. The cosmopolitan city offers great beaches, beautiful weather (albeit too hot sometimes), a strong economy, and very beautiful women who like to drink with the best of them. Too bad the ozone layer is missing above the city. The only knock against Sydney is what also gives Australia its charm -- it is too bloody far away from everything.
1. Montreal, Canada
Yes, it is very cold in the winter, but some actually like winter sports. Many do not like the weather, so why don't they ever leave Montreal? Let's see: it's the most cosmopolitan and multicultural city, which explains why it has the most beautiful women, diverse restaurants and an amazing nightlife (ask any Formula One driver).
The economy is growing rapidly, the arts and culture are extremely diverse and rich, and it offers you all four seasons to the fullest. Although the language questions become mundane, we hear that they provide for good entertainment. To top it all off, Canada is systematically voted the Top Country by the United Nations. |

I know you're already trying to "blend", but while US "color" = "colour", "labor"="labour", "elaborate" is not "elabourate"...

Because they are pretty far north by Ontario standards. One is in Sudbury and the other is in North Bay.... Sudbury is 3.5 hours north of Toronto, North Bay is about 2.5 hours north of Toronto. Both are actually decent schools but they are in small cities (less then 100,000 each) so there isn't much there to do. |

I've been to many of the cities on the list and I would certainly agree, Montreal is the best of them. I would love to live there but to practice my profession in Quebec I would have to be fluently bi-lingual and while I do speak French I am by no means fluent. |

Yup... United Nation - your one stop shop for all reliable info and super-top-secret info on where to score best babes. If that were true, UN headquarters would be in Montreal. But in reality - they are in Manhattan. Why? Best piece of tail this side of the atlantic, thousands of restaurants, hundreds of art galleries, millions of stores - and vast majority speaks some type of ENGLISH.
:cool:
P.S. Count on UN to know where the best wh0res are... Now, WMDs - well, that's a different story. :thepirate |

I doubt this, but I like to know:
I haven't worked in the last 2 years, don't have (the required) 10'000+ CAD, nor have any current job offers in Canada (perhaps due to my US resumé/CV) right now. Are my chances of moving to Canada this June now non-existant? Is it just a pipe-dream? That's what I believe it is now, as I heard that applying to immigrate there will take at least 6 months to 5 YEARS and costs at least 15'000 CAD. Those who've moved there, what was your process? How much does a single 20-year-old usually need to successfully need to 'make it' there? How easy is it to find work after arrival there now in the IT industry?
I know I will most likely get flame responses or posts like 'WTF?'. I'd rather not hear it and see real responses...
Peace...

I'm in the process of emigrating there (they are HARD AS HELL to get into lol).
a) it does not take up to 5 yrs. Who the hell told you that.
b) you need some sort of diploma/degree with 1yr work experience at least in your area of study.
c) you're gonna need the money dude, otherwise for all they know you could arrive there and go straight on welfare.
To the people who suggested he study there, that's what i'm doing (getting my student visa). I don't know if you guys know this but fees for internationals are well over 10K/yr. So if he doesn't have the money to begin with, studying there and paying for tuition fees as well as living expenses is going to be impossible. Not to mention you have to show proof you can pay the fees in the first place.
Either way i hope you've checked this site out:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.html for more information :) It's even got a test that shows you how likely you are to get in, as they work by point system here.
Good luck. |

hehehe,
of course this list isn't scientific, its more of where would males want to live (hot females, sports and nightlife).
All these cities rock anyways!
The UN commentary is funny, cause we do have 2 UN branches over here.
And the UN would move to Either Toronto or Montreal if the US keeps on not paying its due... but thats another story all together. |
