Vancouver is also apparently the best city

A lot of these studies are done by the EIU and you have to pay to access the damn reports :whip:

Vancouver, Melbourne, Vienna, Geneva, Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Zurich, Toronto, Calgary

I don't have any numbers to support this but I would imagine Vancouver or Toronto have the highest shemale population. |

Central America only if you have money though, if you are middleclass here it's not great at all. Im actually surprised to see Costa Rica there. But CR is probably the country with more middleclass in CA.Also the country with most education since they don't have an army and all the money is invested in tourism or schools.
In my country El Salvador you're either rich or poor, theres very little in between. Nicaragua and Honduras is even worse.
Personally, i liked living in El Salvador because everyone knows me i know everyone and you have a large social circle, but i admit it did get old, always seeing the same people everywhere all the time. It's like a bubble, but it has it's advantages. Now when i go for vacation it's a really good time seeing everyone again.
Here in Costa Rica you go out and meet new people all the time, theres much more hot girls here than anywhere else in CA. It's pretty safe to walk in the streets and you won't get mugged unlike the rest of CA. (unless youre walking somewhere you shouldnt) but that applies everywhere.
I see a lot of americans that come and retire here in Costa Rica though, and it has lots of tourism as well, more than i thought at first. |

Los Angeles, California.
Sure we have the ghetto's.....but we also have the high class neighborhoods. Hell its home of the movie stars. We have world famous restaurants, bars, clubs......awesome beaches aaaaand bitches ;) Always loads to do....and if LA isn't doing it for ya, San Francisco is just a 6 hour drive. Las Vegas is a 3 hour drive. San Diego/Mexico both about 2 and a half hours away. Yosemite national park...one of the bestest places in the world. We have loads of theme parks to chose from. Arguably the best weather all year round throughout the world. And if warm weather isn't for you.....shiiiiiiit Mammoth Lake is just a 5 hour drive and is one of the best skiing locations in Cali. Basically we got it all....and if we don't....everything is within driving distance. |

this is such a difficult question to ask because everyone's tastes are different [despite statistics].
really, it's whatever you make of where you live. someone may totally love toronto or montreal [no names needed, :)] but others may hate canada with a passion [heaven forbid!]
so it's up to your own person likes and dislikes. i'm currently stationed in Keesler AFB which is in Biloxi, MS. i never understood why anyone would want to live down here....because it's so hot and humid....all the damn time. but people who live[d] here loved it for probably that same reason [that and the shrimp].
when i was at shreveport, everyone there hated it...while i liked it because it wasn't the midwest [which i got bored of - minus chicago].
really, no matter where i go, i just try to make the best of it and try to have as much fun as possible. |
