I think the bestest country in the world is still the US and the US cities. Although the only US city i've been to is Spokane. ( Helena and Billings too, during trip to yellowstone)

Right on man, U.S. is awsome, I happen to live there so I know what you mean. :cool:

Spokane? That it not a city, more like a large town. You gotta visit the big ones, I recomend the East Coast, many awsome cities. Stay away from the midwest, lots of open space and boring people.

I live in Minneapolis/St. Paul, in the US.
I was born in Chicago.

I have been to New York City(many times), Buffalo, Rochester (both), Syracuse, Albany, Boston, Washington DC, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Indianapolis(too many times), Miami, Atlanta, New Orleans, Dallas, Charlotte, Charleston, Savannah, Memphis (I am a northerner who likes the south), Kansas City and Madison, Wisconsin (the coolest American city that nobody has heard of), plus many rural areas in the US.

Canada (Winnipeg, Kingston, Ont., London,Ont., and western Ontario)

Mexico (the Yucatan)

Bermuda

Ecuador (Quito and Cuenca)

UK (London and parts south)

France (Paris, Nice, Nimes, Avignon)

Switzerland (Geneva)

Italy (driving through)

Monaco

I have enjoyed them all (except Indianapolis, but that is another story and has nothing to do with the city).

In the future I would like to visit East Asia and go back to Latin America.

BTW what is with the disproportionate number of OT posters from Minnesota. I log on to CFC and talk to people who are less than 15 miles from my house. Weird.

This is a bunch of BS. This person has obviously never been to Minneapolis/St. Paul, both of which are full of every variety of freak and interesting person to be found on this earth. Easterners can be SO provincal sometimes.:D

Sorry about the threadjack but it had to be said.

Nothing personal Ghandi, welcome to CFC and Off Topic BTW:goodjob:

Aw, let 'em stay where they're at, and keep their cars sitting in the parking lot that is I-95, where they belong!

(Remember what you said about keeping quiet about, uh, this TERRIBLE place that's 30 below eight months out of the year? ;) .)

D'oh, oops.

Back to the regularly scheduled topic.:)
 
Even though I'm only about a 4 hour drive from Canada, I haven't been there. But I have been to Mexico (just one of the border towns). I've driven through alot of big cities, so I don't think those should really count. Places I did stop at that I remember: (obviously not counting cities in Wisconsin and Minnesota that are only 3 hours or less drive away)
Washington D.C. (and saw the president at that time George Bush Sr.)
St. Louis (Gateway Arch)
Las Vegas (won a bet when the Wisconsin Badgers won the Rose Bowl)
Seattle
I hated driving in Seattle! I was still kind of new to driving a stick shift and that was a nightmare stopping at stop signs on those super steep hills and then trying to take off without rolling back down the hill (there was a sports car tailgating me, that I almost rolled back into!)

I believe according to 2000 figures, Tokyo proper had slightly more than Mexico City proper--suppose I'll have to go find the stats though. As for metro area, I've been to both cities and I think Tokyo would definitely be bigger in those regards: outside Tokyo proper you have Yokohama and Kawasaki as "large suburbs" of over a million each, and many other satellite communities of over 100,000 each exist around it too. Mexico City has some large suburbs, but I don't think they're that large. But I could be wrong.
 
It's just how you define the city.

According to the Time Almanac 2000, Seoul is most populous city in the world, but that is, as they put it, "for the city proper", whatever that may mean.
If you take the whole metropolitan area (whereby you have to choose which areas you include to the metropolitan area and which not of course), Tokyo and Mexico are definetely bigger than Seoul.
