    you really covered all the worlds cosmopolitan hotspots there.


    (having said that, Vegas will gain my #1 spot if Martins smoking bill goes thru. Vegas is a haven for smokers :) )

    Vancouver BC ::


    I was there for 2 months ,, really great place.. the people are really nice.

    There are alot of places to go out to , with very Sexy Ladies :)

    you can get Jug's of beer for $8.00 thats about 3.50€ and you get about 3.5 pints out of it --- always a plus.

    The views are great with Skiing and Snow boarding in the mountains, and down in the city it's really warm,

    the transit system is one of the best in the world. (Irelan is about 20 years behind when it comes to it . i.e Dublin bus and Dart are crap compared to the service in Vancouver)


    well i had a great time,,

    I'd recommand anyone to go there..

    P.S stay away from MAIN.ST

    in the last year… cities I being in…

    Dublin – a long time strange attraction

    Amsterdam – few cars, and other stuff, will return some day

    Galway – (the west’s capital) – its brilliant crack

    London – dirty – two fecking big - look at the over crowding on the underground, and you think Dublin has transport problems???

    Have you been to Ulaanbaatar then? I went there last year, and out to the steppe and lake Hovsgol in the north of Mongolia as well. Whilst it's not on the above list, I agree that it's a very fascinating place and should be a contender, even if it's only in the concrete Soviet-style category!

    Dublin is a cool place.Ive been to the states,London and Paris but I would far rather be in Dublin than any of the others.Ireland is where I come from and I fail to see why so many people are attracted to foreign places.My cousin is npow in London after spending the year in Africa and the previous summers doing the US student visa thing.WHY?How can anybody constantly want to travel?I just dont get it!I stick to where I know.With the people I know.The places I know.I generally avoid holidays if possible.Sure,I had a good time in Paris,going to the red light district and getting up to all sorts of hilarity but I missed home.I was with my friends but i missed my food and my bed.I enjoyed my holiday but I was glad to be home.
    Dublin rocks-the nightlife,the women,the people in general(though in recent years some have become pavement hogging ****,caring little for other walkers as they blindly push bus sized buggies while nattering about the most boring sh1t on their phone,but who cares.I can generally live with it.)

    out of you're list i've been to Paris and Dublin

    Paris is great for looking at some mad architecture but it blows big time for their pub culture. nearly non existant. i went into one place and they wanted €12 for one pint (the jazz music was pretty decent though) but another place had 3 pint pitchers for €8. i spent a lot of my week running between the 2nd place and the off license (i was on a tight budget :( )

    Auckland is the coolest city I have ever gone to!

    I went there with two friends of mine and we meet up with this guy who was a bouncer in one of the better clubs in Auckland and he showed us around. In one place the bar was at the top of a very tall building that looked over all of Auckland the only way up was a silver elevator with two massive bouncers guarding it, when we walked up and they just said "evening gentlemen" and let us in when the elevator reach the top floor it opened and I swear to God just as the doors opened 7 girls who could easily have been supermodels walked passed. We got into all the best and most exclusive clubs and bars in the country and because the New Zealand dollar was so cheap compared with the Irish pound it cost very little for a night out. We had gone to a rugby international that day and meet some of the players that night (one of which even gave my mate one of his training tops). It is such a cool city and the people are relay friendly! I relay want to go back some day!

    P.S. The amount of choices you gave us is sh;t

    I was very impressed with Manchester, I'm from Dublin and don't think too much of it, the night life in Manc was incredible, nice people and everything's a walk away from the main train station. London's ok too but not as good. Oh London's where I live now.

    Amsterdam! It makes my heart warm and my tummy hungry :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    Barcelona.
    I found Paris a bit boring, but I suppose I was 13 or something when I was there, and well looking at art galleries and what not is not very interesting when you are 13
    still not interesting now

    TBH I didnt like New York all that much at all.The subways are impossible to get around if you arent a local,in contrast to London where they are very easy to get around and come every 2 minutes.There is hardly any1 working in the stations to help you-you have the option of either attempting to converse with a ticket machine as to what line to use or try the even harder task of conversing with the few workers who are there,mostly non americans with little english.And then there is the even harder task of asking a local-theyre always in such a hurry that for some reason they refuse to stop and help.
    And I was also pissed off at some of the tourist attractions.It isnt all like it is on the tv travel shows-unless you come early in the morning you arent allowed any higher that the foot of the statue of liberty.:mad:
    Ive heard now the statue is closed to the public not sure if its true tho.

    It's a toss-up between Montreal and Amsterdam for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,073 ✭✭✭✭bnt


    Never been to Lost Wages, and have no intention of going, but I have been to Paris. I liked London, New York, Cape Town, Seattle, but I still prefer Toronto, and I think I'll like Montreal when I finally get to visit there one day.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
