No-one's done Sydney, New South Wales yet?
The basics
Sydney is a world city, about 4.5 million people, extremely diverse, and a magnet for people all over the world so it attracts pretty much anything you might want to see, eat, or do. It's also so sprawly and low density that by geographical area it covers about the same space as Sao Paolo or Tokyo.
Pros
-Food. This has to be one of the best cities on the planet for eating, you can find pretty much anything.
-Culture/events/etc. Again, huge city = everything comes here.
-It's actually quite beautiful. Not just the obvious harbour and rivers and beaches, but also the rest is mostly quite leafy and green.
Cons
-Politics. Terrible, wasteful, corrupt, venal politicians have pissed away huge amounts of money and mismanaged all the infrastructure, especially health and transport. The city is run by thuggish developers. The cops are mostly corrupt.
-Too sprawly. Because it's so low density, it's too big, I know people who spend 4 hours travelling each day to get to work or university. This also means the best bits of the city are concentrated in small areas and the rest is mostly suburb.
-Liquor laws and nightlife. The laws are biased towards huge violent superpubs, with very few decent small pubs or suburban pubs around. So then when there is drunken violence from this overconcentration of drinkers, everyone is surprised and the laws get changed to be MORE restrictive rather than less.
