Love London. Just love it, I love West End, most of the theatres have been around for ever and I just love walking into them and realising that they have seen millions of people walk in and sit down for a show.
Good points about New York and Amsterdam. Amsterdam in particular is such an old looking city which was somewhat unexpected though I haven’t seen it in snow it was still beautiful.
Great article.

I agree with Sean on this one. Very interesting idea to share only one thing from each city.

Would love to live in New York City for a year. The longest time I’ve spent there is 2 weeks; that’s far from enough.

I’m ashamed to say that I’ve only been to Schipol airport, never Amsterdam itself, which considering I live in London is pitiful.

I too love the history in London. Have you read Peter Ackroyd’s ‘London: the biography’? It’s a fascinating book and talks about the idea that the streets themselves hold memories. If you walk around an area like Brick Lane, which seems to have history seeping out of the bricks, it’s easy to believe.

I’d also choose London, NY and Bangkok as favourite cities. Probably Tokyo would be my fourth. This post is a great idea.

Wat Po is a fantastic place. I just wish it wasn’t in Bangkok. I’d like to visit again but don’t particularly like Bangkok.

Great concept. Of the 4 cities I haven’t been to Amsterdam but it’s way on the top of my list. I think the diversity in NY will be what I will pick for one great thing about the city.

And yes, massage in Bangkok is top notch (not just because it’s my hometown) but I also would be hard pressed to pick between that and food.

I choose three cities, and they were London, Amsterdam and NY. it seems that every body falls in love with those great places!!! What I love about all of them is the sort of easiness you can feel when wondering those cities.
A fourth city, probably Ljubljana, Slovenia. I had a great time there.

Of the four of these places I have only been to Amsterdam. I bet it would be a lot more enjoyable in the snow than it was for me in the POURING rain!

Very interesting post idea. I will be keeping your thoughts in mind when I do make it to the other cities!

I couldn’t choose one thing about New York City either, I think it’d have to be 8.3 million things—it’s people. A friendly, diverse, wonderful crowd. I could spend weeks just walking around Manhattan! Which is of course, all I could afford to do if I were to live there. Haha!
