Recommend me a US city
#26
RE: Recommend me a US city
Quote:Well... Of course there's no place with people who are universally nice, but in my travels, I've found the pace of life in most larger cities has a negative impact on one's goodwill towards others.

I've visited over 50 cities.

So far I've been treated rudely exactly twice:

Once in New York: A stuffwitted immigration officer with the mistaken impression that everyone is just dying to live in the US.

Once in London: A snooty maitre'd at a 2 star hotel at which I was staying.

Simple rules of thumb:I am always polite,open and friendly,most people respond in like manner. (even in New York) NEVER EVER criticise a city or country to a native. I am a guest in their city/country,I behave like one. KEEP YOUR COOL and obey their laws. You do NOT want to be arrested in any foreign country.
