women, etc). According to a recent poll these are the impressions of
Europeans about American cities.

5 Best (the least American cities):

Miami

Do Americans agree?


I'll bet they didn't consider Honolulu which is much cooler in the summer,
much warmer in the winter, less humid and surrounded by spectacular
mountains while Miami & environs are flat as a pancake. Miami can fear
hurricanes on a yearly basis, while Honolulu hasn't been hit by a hurricane
in over 40 years. KM


Honolulu has something I loathe anywhwe CONGESTED TRAAAAAFFFIC!
Otherwise, it's just another big city that happens to be conveniently
located to gorgeous, almost otherworldly places. To me at least. YMMV.
HTH. HAND. IDNKWTAM.

Because I have no interest in Europe? Funny. Talk about ignorant.


The homo has no reason to crosspost to rte then.

Seems pretty accurate to me.

5 Best (the least American cities):

Miami
San Diego
NYC
San Francisco
Boston

5 Worst (typical American cities):

Houston
Dallas
Pittsburgh
Detroit
Cleveland

Most Overrated (these cities are not necessarily bad, just plain overrated
by Americans who have no standards):

New Orleans
Austin
Los Angeles
Chicago
Las Vegas



Do Americans agree?

Australia, South America, ... but I doubt that I will ever set a foot in
any country in Europe. No great loss.


With sentiments like these, it's best that you don't go.



Nah.

I've been all over Europe. I'd rather go to Buffalo.

I am not sure about that. Today the low in Miami is 72 and in Honolulu 70.

less humid and surrounded by spectacular mountains while Miami & environs
are flat as a pancake.


Miami has better night life and by the way Hawaii is very overrated (again
only by Americans as Europeans hardly care to go there). Caribbeans are
better (if anything for the general latin atmosphere). Maldive, Polinesia,
Mauritius, Seychelle, parts of the Thailand Islands are even better. But
then again it all goes back to Americans knowing nothing about the outside
world.

Miami can fear hurricanes on a yearly basis, while Honolulu hasn't been
hit by a hurricane in over 40 years. KM


You forgot to mention that they certainly enjoy much more the hot
sophisticated latin culture to the boring asian one.



Racist.

I have no idea about Hawaii, but I traveled quite a bit in the
Caribbean and it is very overrated.
