Journals
Good afternoon, my good people of crossfire.
I hope that you have had a great weekend thus far, and that you are experiencing the same beautiful weather that I am here.
I spent my Friday until late Saturday in
York, where I had a great time and had some great food.
I am writing this journal today not about , but instead, I am writing about travelling and mainly cities on an international basis and ask you this simple question:
What are your top three cities?
If you would like, you can include reasons why they are your favourite.
For me:
1.
Amsterdam
Modern society at a pleasurable place. Clean, a high spirit of academia, and a large number of great activities. One of my most memorable experiences was sitting on the roof of an Albert Heijn where they had made a grass hill chatting away with friends. I have also been here more than other places, with laid back people such asOverboost and Wesbo who are not fussed about strolling around for a few hours, or catching a drink at a canal side bar.
2.
Florence
Florence for me was promised to be beautiful and exciting with lots to see, and lots to experience - and it was just that. Great fashion, beautiful city, fantastic example of Italian culture, and some of the finest architecture and art i've ever experienced.
3.
Krakow
Krakow was a shock for me, we travelled there on a train that broke down twice (granted, it was a Czech train from Prague) and we arrived a city that was very central and easy to navigate around in scorching weather, eating fantastic cheap food (oh the joys of using the £) and very pretty girls left right and centre. Awesome night life here, too.
Other notable cities that I need to spend more time in:
Vienna
Rome
Venice
Brussels
Ljubljana
Prague
Cairo
Glasgow
Zagreb
Jealous of
Meez seeing the screening of their new film today. Hope he has fun.

Any recommendations?
Had only around 4 hours there whilst waiting for my friends to arrive from
Italian fashion was my favourite I suppose!
e: buite noxx en carré en die shit meegerekend dan
However, my friends had to sleep in the train station in Marseille where they were told that they 'should not sleep' by a police officer because their goods may be stolen if they did, and it had high drug activity.
Je me souviens que même au pub irlandais sur le vieux port (côté N-D de la Garde il me semble) l'ambiance était totalement pourrave (c'était pourtant des Marseillais) alors que merde, c'est blindé de touristes, c'est un pub (ce qui voudrait normalement dire population anglophone) mais non, c'était naze..
Tu vas me dire que oui, c'est pas la même ambiance que d'habitude à cause des touristes et des connards qui sont en congé, mais tout de même.
Par contre je dois avouer que la terrasse du café de l'OM m'a laissé un bon souvenir :)
dubai
amsterdam
new york
las vegas
and ofc tallinn to party hard :D
Groningen
Utrecht
Haarlem
Zwolle
And sadly, I have to agree with LeRetard,
(On which note, Nice is pretty nice too.)
I study there and i'm still impressed when i see the large number of tourists coming to our capital. I mean, except some awesome pubs and student parties, there is nothing that deserve more than a city trip..
The weather that day was overcast and I got off at the smaller station (zuid maybe?) and after walking for around 1 hour and 45 minutes I decided to call it a day and go back at some other time. Some of the stuff I saw there seemed interesting, but I am sure that I'd like it there too.
Well.. the city center is pretty interesting. You can see the Grand-Place, the Manneken Pis, The Atomium (but you have to take the metro, watch out for illegal foreigners, as
Actually, tourism sucks in Belgium..
I will make sure that I check them out but I don't think I'd be staying there for long, and as for overcast, I live in
I really enjoyed my stay in
Haven't rly been to many countries but I'd like to visit Barcelona, Rome, Venice, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Bangkok, Paris, Vienna, London, Berlin etc. :p
no reasons needed.
Completely forgot Zagreb in the list too, need to go when it's not summer season though, that's for sure.
though my two favourite croatian cities besides zagreb are probably unknown to anyone outside croatia, Varazdin and Virovitica, architectonically beautiful
nuff said
St.Petersburg
For myself i liked berlin alot, but mainly due to the amazing techno parties! (<3 Weekend club)
Hong Kong For business, technology, looks of the city itself, far more impressive than New York or Tokyo. 10 years ahead of New York and London.
Santiago (Chile) For Geography and Culture. Chile is geographically the best looking country in the world
but also i spend rly nice time in Vienna.
and ofc Warsaw <3

Shanghai - Went to China with the school. We visited Xiamen, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Beijing, but Shanghai was by far my favourite.
Vancouver - My family live in Canada. Most of them stay in Vancouver, and it is simply amazing. Seriously go visit this place :p

Singapore: nice, clean city
Venice: great atmosphere & architecture + skyline, - just too many tourists
Las Vegas: fantastic atmosphere, vibrant
Bruges: great architecture, cozy, a 'real' historical city where u feel your in the 1800's, great at night
San Francisco: a 'special' city, nice landscape
but from my memories, I loved to go on the beach when I was @ Antalya (turkey), I was much younger but still
+ Lille, Paris
I'll start to travel in December or something, I don't know exactly where but I have some ideas
