      >Sydney but in Vietnam
      I found Da Nang was just a bunch of rectangular buildings trying to be New York but without all the cool stuff about New York. And depending on what population we're allowing to call a city, I think Hue was the nicest city in Vietnam. It had a different tone to other Vietnamese cities, more melancholy and gray, and filled with alleyways with little cafes and nice things like that. It probably helped that it rained in Hue the whole time I was there, but I felt like I was walking around in a real life noir film during the day.
      Ho Chi Minh city has a special place in my heart though, looking from the rooftop to that sea of buildings always gets me. All the hustle bustle and all the food stalls and the people selling dried squid from their bicycle, it's a busy place but I really like it.
      Not really sure why you'd pick Da Nang over anything else tbh.

Long stretches of driving through beautiful, open country. Nothing but me and the road and gf, listening to our favorite albums or podcasts. Strips like this were a comfy place to pull off, fill up on gas, catch a cheap bite to eat in a familiar setting, and everyone around you is doing the same. I never understood why this image is recycled as an insult.... you can even see luscious trees in the background, I bet this "hell hole" is surrounded by scenic nature and wholesome rural living.

    I have literal hundreds of favorites around the world, including a lot of big cities/heavy hitters, including but not limited to London, NYC, Paris (unironically), Hanoi (like it much more than HCMC, both for atmosphere and climate), San Francisco (haters gonna hate, and its problems are real and serious, but what it does well it does unlike anywhere else; I lived there for twenty years and will always love it even if I don’t intend to move back), Lisbon, Hong Kong, Mexico City, maybe Amsterdam (only been a couple of times and not in years, but I really like it and don’t even smoke weed or hang out with prostitutes), etc.

    But to focus on smaller places, which I often prefer to the biggest and/or most famous:

    1. Lucca, IT: the walled old center is charming, artsy, bikeable, and overall very pleasant. Several excellent restaurants.
    2. Luzern, CH: Maybe my favorite large Swiss town, although I also like Bern and Locarno quite a bit. Offers much more to a tourist than the Swiss city I live in (and also love). Wonderful lake.
    3. Nong Khai, Thailand: Not a city, but a bustling Mekongside border town that has been one of my favorite places in Asia for decades. Nakhon Phanom is similar and frankly even nicer in some ways, but it’s not on the rail line so it loses a point.
    4. Vientiane, Laos: Too many cars and motorcycles nowadays; I liked it better in 1995 when it was an almost silent village. But I like the fact that it isn’t the place the tourists come to see even if they do pass through, and the old parts of town are still really pretty.
    5. Oaxaca, Mexico: In my opinion, the best-preserved and cleanest historical center in the country.
    6. Northampton, MA: I am biased because this is the part of the world where I was born, but I always welcome the chance to get back there. Hyper-liberal New England college town full of lesbians and hippies, so not everyone’s cup of tea.

    And more.

        It’s a great bookshop, no question, although they need a better screenprinter for their mugs; I didn’t know it was part of a chain. That whole area used to be full of dozens of great bookstores, as you might guess, but, y’know….

        If you ever return to Northampton for any reason, drive another half hour up into the hills and hit up the Montague Bookmill (“Books You Don’t Need in a Place You Can’t Find,”) in a beautiful setting (a grist mill from 1842) with an excellent restaurant and cafe to boot.

      Honestly as someone who’s lived there in a wealthy area as well as spent plenty of time there as a tourist, I can firmly say I fricking hate London. I think it’s one of the most soulless and depressing places on earth.

      From the people, to the weather, to the way it’s organised, to the politics and neighbourhoods, I think it’s nothing less than a massive fricking shitheap and I say that with 100% sincerity. Sometimes I can’t even put my finger on it, London is just grim as frick.

      If money was truly no concern, and I had the option to either live in a small, cheap apartment in Budapest or Seville or Prague or Gdańsk, I’d take it all day every day over a penthouse suite in central London.

          London feels incredibly cold, not in terms of the temperature but how people interact with one another. People seem very incredibly distanced and in their own bubble, more so than anywhere I’ve been before. Whether I’m interacting with young black people, middle aged professionals, older people, everyone in London gives me a fricking bad vibe. Like this cross between arrogance and disinterest. Everyone has a chip on their shoulder.

          Not to mention, everyone is desperate to be someone. There’s an almost extreme pretentiousness that everyone living in this city has, where they’re desperate to look, sound and come across a certain way or prove that they’re worth something.

          Again, in the neighbourhood I lived in, it was pretty wealthy and prestigious, yet the place was still a fricking shithole. Plenty of roadmen and little chavvy little scum. Plenty of pakis and ethnics. Plenty of ponce uni students and gay West coast American types. Soulless copy paste apartment buildings, with the odd run down council building, and a few dirty regency era townhouses. Yet prices would be as much as £5k a month to rent.

          Unironically, if I had the option of living in the centre of Manchester, Liverpool, frick even Nottingham, I’d take it over London in a heartbeat.

    Bangkok - what a fantastic city with literally everything you could want, and just weird enough to feel like an exotic adventure if you need it too. Thai culture is very permissive of coomerism, and much more so than other parts of SEA. That is to say there is less shame involved so the girls stay happy go lucky even while carrying around the sperm of 5 different geriatric Australians. Besides the cooming it just has literally fricking everything set up perfect for public transport, so meeting people and doing things is simple cheap and you don't need to worry about parking. I can't even count hoe many times I've gone on tinder or thaifriendly and met the chick irl an hour later. I just pick an activity and tell them to come with me, and it's that easy. GREAT FOOD too, and not wildly expensive.

It's not a big place but it's hard to top if cumming inside brown Asian 20 year olds for cheap is your main hobby. Surrounded by slums and low income so you also have this massive untapped crop of poor bawds without phones who will do anything for you if you be their friend and take them to Jollibee or even the mall. Just an amazing destination for a womanizer. I've been back there many times because it's such an open ended choose your own adventure type of insane adult experience that I can't not love it. Its so unbelievable that I can't even tell stories about what I have been up to here, because they would never take it seriously. Not for everyone of course but if you are a true degen then it's a slice of heaven.

    These two places stand out. I've never been anywhere else (20 countries and counting) that didn't have massive downsides to go with their great stuff.

      I really don't know how you all can stand eurogays wallowing in the decaying carcass of their once great ancestors. I hate European cities since they are in decline.

      Growing Asian metropolis centers entering their golden ages is way more interesting imo, and you can brush off their attitude issues since you can't understand them and they look weird.

      With Europeans you always know when they are being c**ty and difficult or just dopey and stupid, and you feel the secondhand embarrassment since there is this limited chance you might share some blood with them.

      Not so in Asia. It's a pure exotic wonderland that is a frickedup but in a fun way, and you can get away with almost anything by just playing stupid (because the locals think they are geniuses compared to you).

      Anyways it feels like a real adventure instead of just a recap of stuff your people already did.

    Historically speaking:

    Pergamum was outstanding. Its located on top of a hill, the site is well preserved and a dream to visit. Hiking up the hill, visualizing the site as it was in the past was epic.

    Miletus was also a great spot, located in a rural area, great to hitchhike to, there are also great historical sites around the area, including a Byzantine fortification. You can really visualize how the nomadic barbarians like the region, and how the Byzantines attempted to fortify the coastline.

    Troy was a dream to me, the plains surrounding it. Unreal....Unreal man. The site itself is incredibly old, so the fortifications are not magnificent. But you can tell it was an impressive city for the time period of 1200 BC.

    Antioch does not have much still standing...but my GOD does it have the best historical museum I have ever been to. I hiked up the hill to the Citadel starting on the side of the Church of Saint Peter. Then down the gorge with the Iron Gate (late standing gate of the city) and up the major hill to the citadel, I went around because these frickers working for the government told me it was closed, I went anyway lol. I hiked up from the Iron Gate to the walls of Antioch limbing the hillside. This place was REAL travel, epic stuff. Antioch must have been an incredible city, for these city walls were incredible, built on the side of the hill like that.

        I haven’t been anywhere else in Europe that meets everyone of those. Only large city I’ve been to where I didn’t feel stressed or exhausted by the time I left

    Tbilisi - cheap as well as excellent food and beer, beautiful churches, nice people, great historic area, easy access to the rest of Georgia.

    Oaxaca - Best food in one of the best countries for food on earth, well-preserved and fairly clean, just a few hours bus ride from God's country (pacific coast).

    Portland, Maine - As a New Englander this is the best city for maintaining the essence of the region. Plus good mix of high end and casual restaurants, solid breweries, super walkable, great waterfront and ocean views, Casco Bay, ability to drive further up the Maine coast.

    St. Pete, Florida - It's in Florida but it's not a shit hold. Kensington is a cool neighborhood. Restaurant scene is solid. Trendy or tacky or both depending on what you want. Beautiful beaches not far away.

    Going to have to second Hong Kong like a lot of people ITT. It really is the breasts, even after the protest crackdown and Corona I'm still hoping to go back, maybe next summer. Even the rural shit like biking in the New Territories is a ton of fun. That city just screams SOVL, even if its not the Pearl of the Orient anymore I hope it can keep some of that even under the PRC thumb.

    I'd rank Osaka a close-ish second to HK, definitely my favourite city in Japan. A bit rough around the edges compared to Tokyo but the atmosphere is more laid-back and comfy with a very unique local culture. I find it a really charming city. It basically has the benefits of Tokyo like being generally clean, safe and easy to access with public transport, while being cheaper. Plus as a Kansai city is close to the historical sites like Kyoto and Nara, and for baseballgays like me its Hanshin Tigers town. If I had to move to a city abroad that would probably be the place I'd pick.
