Okay, let's discuss about any cities around the world and what you love (or hate) about them, one condition though, you ABSOLUTELY MUST have visited the city you are talking about.

Jakarta

My Hometown. I love the food, you can practically eat any types of food from the archipelago here, although they are not as authentic as the original provinces but they're closed enough. The food is one of the best in the world, if you appreciate spices, chillies, and varieties. But you MUST be a true Foodie to appreciate the cuisines, in other words you must have a tough stomach since they're not the most hygene as the good stuff are often found on the sidewalks of the streets/avenues and you must be quite adventurous with your food preferences

Most of my friends, relatives and family are in Jakarta. I love the nightlife. Jakarta is a very secretive city, you really have to know where to go and whom to hang out with, if you don't know anyone and clueless about the city, it will seem to be boring, but it actually offers 24 hours of nonstop actions and mind-blowing entertainment. Don't forget that everything is cheap. I mean dirt cheap, especially after the currency and Asian crisis. Another thing I love is the lifestyle, you don't need to be a Millionaire (like in the US) to have maids, gardeners, drivers, chefs.

What I hate is the traffic. It's really bad, almost comparable if not worst than Bangkok, Manila, and Mexico City. It almost takes 1-2 hours just to travel anywhere in the city, especially during rush hours and the deterioting security and safety issues, plus the unstable political concerns which could lead to sporadic regional and full-blown confrontation between civillians and the police/military and at times religious groups. But I guess that's what makes it exciting.[/img]

Singapore

One of the only city state (country) in the world. I enjoy the food, although not as much as New York City, HongKong, Tokyo and/or Paris. The world-famous Singaporean Chilly Crabs and Hainan Chicken Rice should be enough to keep you visiting the country. And to most Indonesians and other South East Asians, it's a bustling metropolitan city in its own rights in the middle of much larger South East Asian countries. It offers great entertainment and a shopping heavens to most. The famous Orchird Road and numerous malls and shopping areas, higher medical standard than its neighboring countries, higher standard of living, the best airport and airlines in the world, the cleanest country in the world, the multi-lingual, highly educated English speaking citizens are really its main magnet and competitive advantages.

Love to go to Singapore for 2-3 days but not more. Sorry, after living in Jakarta, LA, New York and other great cities with more energy and excitement, I just feel that Singapore, being a highly regulated and full of 100% law abiding citizens, where you can't even buy gums and cameras track every movement you make, I just feel that Singapore is not that exciting anymore. Once you make experience Tokyo, HongKong, New York, LA, Paris, London, and Jakarta, I get bored after 2-3 days there.

As soon as I hit the good restaurants and clubs/bars around Mohammad-Sultan and Zook, I really don't want to be there anymore. If I want to shop, I'd rather fly to Hongkong/Tokyo/Shanghai in Asia. And would rather pay a little bit more to shop in Paris/Milan/New York.

Tokyo

One of the oldest where the Japanese culture and history are still retained in the middle of the ever-growing, modernized high-rises of downtown Tokyo. I love every single bit of Tokyo. The people are mostly very friendly and knowing how the Japanese culture are with their cute, lovey-dovey products and notoriously rebellious Gen-X young generation with their colored hairs and platform shoes, Tokyo offers a unique world-class city that cannot be discovered anywhere else.

The food is also another experience. If you love Seafood, you will realize that in Tokyo and throughout major cities in Japan, you are to find the freshest and number one quality seafood products anywhere in the world, especially if you like to eat raw food. It's the closest place to Heaven for food

The nightlife is also very feisty, fun, rejuvenating and most of all, unique to other cities. You will find all kinds of ridiculiously unthinkable crowds with out-of-this-world fashion statements. The clubs offers tremendous non-stop hard-core entertainment for as long as you have the energy to party. But on the other hand, Tokyo offers the the total opposite of this, the soft-side of the city, places of serenity, quiet, and for the peaceful of hearts.

Tokyo will excite you with its nightlife, bars, shops, and restaurants, but it will also give you its a culture, the Japanese's thrists for perfection and serenity. I always go home smiling everytime I visited Tokyo.

The only thing that makes me frown is my wallet, because Tokyo is also a very very very very... (notice 4 x) expensive city if you want to enjoy it to the fullest.

Los Angeles

The best place in the West Coast of United States. It won over San Francisco and Seattle in my book because although Seattle is beautiful and San Francisco is picturesque and romantic, LA has more intensity and depth. The cultural diversity is amazing and the city spreads out from South to North, and East to West, offering tons of distinctive pockets of ethic-specific educational and entertaining cultural excitement. The city also offers the closest thing to Asia in terms of food authenticity. There are tons of awesome Indonesian restaurants. LA is also well-known for great Korean, Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese restaurants, not to mention there are great Californian and Mexican restaurants.

If you are into the night life scenes, then the city is to die for in the West Coast of US. There are tons of new clubs and underground clubs. For shoppers, there are many famous shopping areas and malls, among others the glamorous Rodeo Drive. It's a heaven for people who love fast cars and enjoy driving; well, at night that is, since the traffic are pretty discouraging and congestions are everyday life in LA Superhighways.

The traffic is frustating at times, but nowhere near the level of Jakarta, Manila or Bangkok. LA offers variety but you really have to drive from one point to another, and if you have to eat, to shop, and to enjoy the nightscenes, the famous beaches, the sunny California weather, the glamorous lifestyle in Beverly Hills, and the constant opportunities to spot famous Hollywood celebrities then this city is for you.

Prague wins my heart.

And Seattle.

LA will never win my list due to No-Enviromental Friendly City.
Personal preference.

And my personal favorite Town... Delft.

Maastricht

And despite of bad image overall.. Krakow is far better city in Eatern Europe.

Vancouver : when I went there, the weather was so nice....I just felt comfortable there.

Swiss : beautiful...old but pretty.

Tokyo : just love the city + Tokyo Disneyland Oh, my first time seeing snow there.

Orlando : Disneyworld

Honolulu : hmm..dunno why...maybe just because I had good times there w/ my cousins.

HK : food & shopping....

Nenek : my dad also loves Seattle. Foe me, Seattle didn't leave any impression....so I assume nothing special there.

OO... Blueberry, That is too bad.

Seattle actually is a heaven for enviromentalist like I am.. also if you are Microsofty..

Hope you come to Seattle when it is blue sky with beautiful olympic mountains.

City I dislike:

Paris: due to personal reason, it is more of love hate city to me.
Seoul: also love hate city
Cancun

Waks! Gue suka sekali topik beginian! Perasaan Temu pernah bikin thread serupa di spc induk kan? Gue demen. Yang ini masih kurang tuh reviewnya!

Gue nggak terlalu banyak bepergian (meskipun pingin, maklum setahun cuma dapet cuti 12 hari yang dipotong cuti massal 5 hari, jadi tinggal 7 hari. Bisa ke mana aja cuma punya 7 hari??? Lho kok jadi curhat...)

1. Jakarta:
Yang gue suka dari Jakarta: My hometown. Mau cari apa aja di Jakarta, ada! Selama ada duit. Kota paling murah yang gue tau, makanannya top, hype-nya nggak kalah sama kota2 gede di luar sana.
Yang gue nggak suka dari Jakarta: Macetnya gila2an, tambah lagi banjir tiap taon, dan bukan tempat yang aman buat chinese macem gue ini.

2. Bandung:
Sering ke Bandung buat dinas. Tiap kali ke Bandung, pasti adaaa aja yang berubah. Dulu Bandung enak, nyaman, adem. Sekarang, sori aja, IMO udah kayak Sodom & Gomorah. Anak2 muda jingkrak2an sampe subuh dengan mobil van yang dimodi jadi panggung pake speaker raksasa, malang melintang hampir di setiap jalan besar. (Salah satunya, nangkring persiiis di depan hotel gue sampe gue nggak bisa tidur semaleman. Monyet! ) Anak2 muda Jkt kalo gaul tau tempat, kagak di jalan raya kayak gitu!

3. Sukabumi-Tasikmalaya:
Kota kecil yang masih adem. Rata2 orangnya baik2 gitu. Jauh lebih enak ke sini ketimbang ke Bandung.

4. Singapura:
Ya elah ini mah kota, bukannya negara. Mak gue dilepas sendirian di sini juga nggak bakal nyasar (Tapi kayaknya gue bakal nyasar deh, soalnya gue banyakan transit doang di sini ) Makanannya enak2. Tapi lebih dari 2 hari di sini, ditanggung bosen.

5. Manila:
Cuma setengah hari di sini, semata2 buat menghadiri upacara pernikahan temen baik gue. Itu juga macetnya nggak tahaaaan!

6. Bangkok:
Sama, macetnya nggak tahaaaan! Panaaas, panaaas! .... Tapi es campurnya enak

7. Sydney:
Salah satu dari kota favorit gue. Gue bener2 berasa diperlakukan seperti turis di sini. Orangnya ramah2, mulai dari polisi, pegawai toko/hotel, sampe orang yang sekedar berpapasan semuanya baik2 dan nggak pelit senyum. Gue bisa abis waktu seharian cuma nongkrong di Darling Harbour doang. Tuh kan jadi kangen...

8. Melbourne, Aussie:
Banyakan orang Indo-nya ketimbang orang bulenya. Nggak ada yang ramah, judes semua. Mungkin dikiranya gue orang sono juga kali ya. Tiap kali ke sana, selalu aja hujan. Nggak suka Melbourne.

9. Gold Coast:
Surfer Paradise, betul2 ajang cuci mata yang paling yahud! Conya guanteng2! Cenya bodynya asoi2! Daerah yang dikhususkan buat pariwisata, jalan kaki di sini ditanggung aman dan bisa bikin lupa waktu. Tapi gue bukan anak pantai, jadi kayaknya males kalo mesti jauh2 ke sini cuma buat cuci mata aja. (Pan di rumah ada Optrex)

10. Brisbane:
Cuma setengah hari di sini, dan gue nggak suka.

11. Tokyo:
Yang gue sukai: Second fave spot. Makanannya enak (meskipun muahal), banyak yang aneh2 dan lucu2 sepanjang jalan, dan gue punya banyak banget temen di sini yang bersedia menjamu gue selama di Tokyo. (Hehe, uang dinas bisa dibawa pulang...) Tokyo selalu bikin kangen dan entah kenapa, gue selalu nengok ke belakang tiap kali pesawat mau terbang meninggalkan Tokyo...
Yang gue nggak sukai: Pertama, mahal! (Tapi lantaran dibiayai kantor jadi nggak terlalu berasa ) Kedua, jangan pernah sok ngomong Jepang! Terutama kalau tampang lo kayak orang Jepang! (Misalnya gue). Mereka ramah pada orang asing, tapi cuek bebek sama orang sendiri. (Bahkan gue pernah ketemu orang Hokkaido yang nyasar di Tokyo Station nggak ada yang nolong). Jadi, pura2lah nggak ngerti Jepang! Ngomong dengan bahasa Inggris dan pakai bahasa tarzan, mereka bakal membantu dengan senang hati.

12. Yokohama:
Hatiku tertambat di sana Gue suka banget sama kota pelabuhan (Sydney, Yokohama). Chinatown-nya asyik, harga barang nggak setinggi di Tokyo, dan ada Sankei-en yang baguuus banget.

13. Kyoto:
Kota tua seribu kuil. Gue kurang bisa menikmati kebun2 ala zen yang ada di kuil (yang dipuji2 setinggi langit oleh orang2 sana), tapi secara keseluruhan, Kyoto cukup entertaining.

14. Seoul:
Parah. Mimpi buruk. Orang di sini kagak ngerti bahasa apapun, cuma bisa Korea aja. Pake Jepang (bahasa tetangga), mandarin, Inggris, tetep aja nggak ada yang ngerti. Orangnya sengak2, kasar2, minta digaplokin semua. Barang2 mahal, tapi rata2 BS. (Temen gue beli jaket seharga 60 ribu won, ternyata pundaknya kelunturan). Gue hampir ngebakar Namdaemun saking keselnya, penjualnya ngeki'in!!! :cursing:

15. Cheju Island:
Laut semua di mana-mana. Panas! Tapi jeruknya enak, kecil2 tanpa biji. (Gampang yah untuk membuat gue bahagia. Ada makanan enak, pasti gue udah seneng dah )

Dari semua list di atas, gue paling suka Sydney dan Yokohama.

Pingin pergi ke: Frankfurt dan Bologna (aduuuh, moga2 bisa ke 2 kota itu, jangan Tokyo melulu!), Amsterdam, London, Swiss, Canada (lihat Buchart Garden).

Kota2 yg gua pergi lagi kecil ato udah lama kaga pergi kaya Hong Kong, Seoul, Taipei, Bangkok gitu mah kaga banyak impression-nya. Kota2 Asia yg ninggalin impression buat gua aja deh...

1. Jakarta
Tinggal di sini emang convenient. Pembantu, sopir, dll semua affordable. Kaga usah pusing mikirin laundry, dll. Makanan enak2, mau cari makanan gaya apa juga ada, asal perut kuat mah. Cuma Cheesecake Factory sama Krispy Kreme yg belon nongol di sini... Tapi yg paling bikin ampun tuh macetnya... supir2 di sini banyakan kaga pada mikir, bisa bikin tiker di jalanan saking kaga ada yg mau ngalah... Jadi diitung-itung kira2 impas lah... not too good, not too bad...

2. Singapore
Buat shopping sih oke, buat tinggal kayanya agak boring... kaga bisa ngapa2in selain shopping sama makan di sono... dua tiga ari juga udah abis jelajahin tuh kota... cuma di sono enaknya bersih banget, something you will appreciate after living in Jakarta... and jauh lebih aman, malem2 kaga takut pulang sendirian...

3. Tokyo
Abis dimanja di Jakarta, ke Tokyo lumayan cape... kemana-mana kudu naik train ato subway ato jalan kaki, soalnya taxi amit2 mahalnya... terus orang jepang jarang yg bisa ngomong inggris... gua nanya jalan aja left right mereka kaga ngerti... tapi sih friendly emang, usaha nolong biarpun gagal... Makanan di sini asik banget... mulai dari sushi yg kudu makan sebelon jam 8 pagi kalo gak mau keabisan, ramen yg enak banget biarpun di pinggir jalan, sampe kobe beef di salah satu highrise-nya... kalo punya duit, tinggal di kota ini paling asik emang...

4. Kyoto
Sereneeee banget tempatnya... gua inget kuil2 doang dari ujung ke ujung... terus di deket salah satu kuil -- gua lupa yg mana, terlalu banyak-- ada Gion, geisha center-nya... kalo gua ke jepang lagi, ini salah satu kota yg kaga bakal gua lewatin... kalo Tokyo modern banget, seperti kota2 modern lain di dunia, kota ini justru bener2 ngasih image Jepang banget... di jalanan masih banyak yg jalan2 pake kimono -- geisha or non-geisha... makanannya yg terkenal itu kembang tahu yg kita masak sendiri dari susu kacang... berhubung kaga doyan tahu, kaga bisa bilang rasanya enak kaga, tapi kata temen gua enakkkk banget... Mungkin ini kota buat visit sih asik, tapi buat tinggal bisa kebosen2an kali...

5. Osaka
Yg gua inget dari ini kota cuma spa world-nya yg keren abis... model kaya onsen gitu, tapi modern punya... dekornya ada yg roman style, spanish, italian, dll... abis jalan2 seharian, ditaro di tempat ini paling enak deh... ilang tuh semua cape2nya... makanan di sini yg paling gua inget mah traditional okonomiyaki... kata orang kalo ke osaka kaga makan okonomiyaki-nya belon bener2 ke sono... Tapi daripada di sini, masih lebih enak Kyoto gua bilang...

6. China
Kota2 yg gua pergi udah kaga inget, cuma kayanya mirip2 semua impression yg gua dapet... pemandangannya cakep bukan main, tapi joroknya ampun2an... Buat jalan liat2 mah oke, tapi buat tinggal sih emoh... Toilet umum jangan pernah coba2 ngintip... heck, ga usah ngintip udah kecium juga dari jauh... Terus banyak penipu2 di sono, jadi beli barang kudu ati2 bener... Yg mendingan sih Beijing sama Shanghai kali...

Kalo ada duit, gua bilang paling enak tinggal di Tokyo... kalo nyari duit, udah deh, paling sip di Jakarta aja...

gue kirain si Shiro da keliling 1/2 dunia

Jakarta:
dulu suka sekali, well satu2 nya kota yg gue tau. Pernah bangga jadi warga Jakarta. Skrg tapi kesannya berubah, tambah ruwet, mana gue ngandelin motor ama kendaraan umum, so tambah parah deh

Singapore:
Spt kata Shiro ok buat shopping tp ga janji buat tinggal.

Johor Baru:
Ni kota kudu dimasukin orang Chinese banyakan biar ada atraksi nya klu ga ada apa2 tuh

Sydney:
suka banget, apalagi kalau lagi jalan2 di landmarknya aduh serasa gimana gitu, tp gue belon pernah ke Sydney Tower, naik Ferry ke Darling Harbour, jalan di Harbour Bridge ato masuk ke Opera House, maklum Sydneysiders mikirnya nanti jg bisa

Gold Coast:
Beautiful beach man!!!! Broad Beach terutama, mao balik deh.

Perisher Blue:
bukan kota sih tapi town buat main ski.. my first snow fall saw disini loh.. pas lagi ga jatoh main ski nya ...

dah. Sedikit yah

rencana taon ini: Melbourne (mo liat 12 Apostle di Great Ocean Road)

mao nya pergi ke: Cairn buat diving (brani ga yah... ) sama ke mo NY, SF, HK. ga serakah segitu dulu deh...

Shiro, toilet umum China memang notorious gitu. Tapi denger2 dari guide langganan gue, justru sekarang saat yang bagus buat ke China, soalnya mereka lagi sibuk bersih2 buat Olimpiade. Hem hem, kapan nyasar ke China ya... Temen gue kalo ke sana sampe sebulan gitu lho, asyik banget...

Okay more

Chicago

It's caled 'The Windy City.' As you might have already guessed, it's always windy, freezing and cold. The only time of the year where I can fully enjoy Chicago is during the Summer time. This city is famous for its Chicago-style Pizza (you know the thick-crusted ones) and Jazz off course (New Orleans is another one for Jazz). And not to forget Chicago is filled up with tons of architectural marvels, you can find many impressive landmarks around the city.

I love Chicago because of its Michael Jordan and Chicago Bulls when they were at the top of their game many years ago. Other than that, I just hate its weather to the bones. I always feel miserable whenever I am in Chicago abut 8 months of the year. I can enjoy it in the Summer but it gets boring pretty fast too. I know that Michigan Ave is nice, but I still like New York's Fifth Avenue or LA's Rodeo Drive better. That's just me. I appreciate what's they call 'The Midwest Charm.' but I still like New York's attitude better. I do think that I'm more into the coastal cities, New York and LA are way higher on my list.

Boston

One of the oldest town in America that developed into a large city. Every single street, corner, intersection, park and building is embellished with a bit of American history. If you love American history, this is the place to go. America started from here. While the city is obviously not a Mega-Metropolitan like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago or San Francisco, it is a very beautiful city.

Whenever I get bored with all the 24/7 action going on in New York, I always drive up or take 4-hour bus ride to Boston. The city is very relaxing and it's an awesome getaway from the bustling New York for the weekend. Just take a walk around the Commons, Newburry St or Quincy Market, you will feel relax. Boston is home to the famous sitcom CHEERS, the Boston Redsox (Not as great as our New York Yankees off course), New England Patriots, and off course, the legendary Basketball legend Larry Bird who played for Boston Celtics.

Along with its history, there are many things that come from here, the most famous one is the New England Claw Chowder soup. Bostonians are famous for their Seafood. The city is filled with College Students. The best Universities in the US are located in the Boston/Cambridge area. To name a few : Harvard, MIT, Boston College, Boston University, Babson University, Bentley University. You will find the nightlife scenes very happening and the crowd are young, mostly middle-class and up and yes, many Indonesians go to school here. What I hate is the cold weather during the winter time and I don't see myself living there for more than a couple days, it's too quiet for me, I love HongKong and New York better.

Kota yg paling dicintai? Jakarta dong... soalnya ada nyokap, bokap, ade, sodara, temen, pembokat, kue lapis, dendeng balado, soto babat, sate, etc., etc...

Kota paling tercantik banget sedunia (hehehe...): PARIS!!!!!!! Buktinya? Kota paling byk dikunjungin sedunia, sampe2 turisnya lbh banyak dr penduduknya...

Yg kasihan adl kl org pergi ke Paris en ngelihat 'tempat turis' ky Champs Elyssee, Disneyland, en spent 5 minutes di Louvre. (itu udah cukup u lihat ONLY Monalisa, Wings of Victory and Venus de Milo katanya) doang. Doh, itu mah...

Pokoke siapa yg ke Paris, bilang gue yah, ntar gue ajak discover Paris as seen from the local's eyes...

Kl di Asia.... hmmm, gue suka Nagoya.

San Francisco

The most romantic city in the US, the city is basically rows and rows of hills, and in the evening, you often see the clouds are below the city and sometimes you could also see the heavenly Golden Gate bridge covered up with fogs and mysts which is a majestic sight.

The city becomes even better if you go there with your loved one. There are many spots to visit and feel romantic. 'Twin Peaks' is one of them. It's basically on the top of the tallest hill in the city, if you go there at night, you can see the whole San Francisco, Berkeley, the Golden Gate Bridge, and many others. The view is just amazing. Not to mention other scenic places around San Francisco, Sausalito, Pacifica and Highway 1 alone will melt your heart away.

Then off course, there are tons of good Asian restaurants here, including Indonesian, Japanese and good Chinese food. It's Chinatown used to be the largest in the US but now New York City has surpassed that, but still when you are in San Francisco you feel like you are in Asia sometimes. You can also visit Union Square for some shopping and to see how bustling the city is. The weather is nice all year long, not too hot and not too cold, and most of the time, the chilly wind blows during the evening.

I used to live here for several months, and I enjoyed every single minute of it, but I know that if I do live there for more than 3 months, I will get bored since all the bars, clubs, and lounges closes pretty early and I went to almost every single restaurant, bar, club, cafe, and lounge out there. But hey, to some people, romantic people, San Francisco just don't go away. That's why there's a famous song 'I left My Heart in San Francisco.'

1/2 dunia?? itu mah rencana 5 taon lagi... sekarang baru dikittt banget yg udah gua pergiin... London and France rencana June ini mau pergi... gua pengen banget liat Mont-St-Michel di France...

Wah, kalo china lagi beberesan, bener kudu pergi sekarang yah... cuma ketemu satu case SARS lagi di sono, jadi kali oktober baru bisa pergi... sekalian liat pameran di Guangzhou...

Lanjutan nih... tadi Asia, sekarang Europe, Africa sama America... kemarin ini pas pergi sih liat banyak kota, cuma yg paling impress gua yah cuma yg ini...

7. Madrid
Yg gua paling inget tuh air mancurnya... kayanya tiap perempatan jalan selalu ada air mancur, dgn patung yg bagus2 banget... terus relatif aman, jadi malem2 keluyuran kaga takut diisengin orang... Buat tempat belanja, asik banget... mulai dari yg kios2 pinggir jalan sampe satu jalanan yg branded juga ada... cuma kudu ati2 sama gypsy2 di sono, soalnya lihai banget tangannya... terus orang spanish kaga terlalu ngerti inggris, jadi kalo jalan2 sendiri kudu siap2 kertas sama pen buat nanya harga... tapi overall, asli bagus banget kotanya...

8. Seville
Kota favorit deh ini mah... bagusnya kaga ketulungan... pinggir jalan semua pohon jeruk -- jeruk pahit tapinya, makanya buahnya masih pada utuh ngegelantungan... Park2-nya asli bagus2 banget, terus building2nya bener2 feast for the eyes... buat shopping asik banget, soalnya semuanya ada di satu shopping district... cuma di sini weather-nya extreme banget... lagi summer katanya bisa sampe 45C, november kemaren ini sih kira2 2C... gak tau deh kalo january gitu mah...

9. Salamanca
Kota pelajar di Spain, tapi asli dekor kotanya kaga mirip kota pelajar... bangunan2 kuno and plaza mayor-nya bagus banget... ada satu arch gaya gothic yg katanya ada ukiran kodoknya... siapa yg bisa nemu tuh kodok bakal dapet good luck... sejam gua nongkrong ujan2 nyariin tuh kodok tetep kaga nemu... too bad lagi itu cuma stay semalem di sono, kalo gak besoknya gua nongkrong lagi deh di sono, penasaran... cuma yg namanya kota pelajar, pas weekend gitu berisiknya ampun2an... pada party all night long... sampe jam 5 masih pada teriak2an di jalan... tapi kali kalo ke sono kaga pas weekend bagus banget...

10. Amsterdam
Ini kota bener2 mind-boggling... museum ada di mana2, terus canal houses-nya biar kecil2 juga, bagus2 banget... tapi sebelah2an dgn daerah museum2 gitu, ada red light district yg gedeeeee banget... yg segala macem bentuk and rupa dipajangin... asli jalan2 di sini pala nengok kanan kiri mulu, kaget... makanan di sini enak2 banget, mau apa juga ada... makanan indo, chinese, thai, greek, brazillian, irish, you name it... pastries-nya juga bisa bikin anorexia ngiler kali... tapi yg paling enak tuh dutch pancake-nya... kalo ke europe lagi sih, gua pasti mau mampir kota ini lagi...

11. Marakkesh
Ini kota pusat turis di Morocco... budayanya campuran Arab sama Berber... tapi di sini yg lebih nonjol berbernya... kotanya bagus, orang2nya helpful, barangnya murah2 biarpun kudu nawarnya kaya di indo... cuma kayanya mereka kaga liat orang chinese banyak, soalnya kemana-mana gua diliatin sampe kaya orang Mars... sampe ada yg nabrak tiang lampu malah... Terus namanya kota turis, di mana2 banyak carriage gitu... bagus sih bagus, tapi tuh kuda tau sendiri... biar bokernya kaga sembarangan, ditadangin, baunya ampunnnnn... tapi di sini ada satu tempat namanya Chez Ali... tuh tempat bagussss banget... asli kaya 1001 malem... kalo ke sini kudu nonton Fantasia-nya... tuh cowo2 berber bikin horseback acrobat keren banget... tari perutnya oke lah, tapi gua denger Turkey punya lebih bagus...

12. Casablanca
Ini kota mah cuma gede namanya doang gara2 film Casablanca... asli kaga ada apa2 kecuali rumah2 orang kaya... tapi barang2 di sini murah2 banget... apalagi kaya di model pasarnya gitu... handicraftnya boleh beli...

13. San Fransisco
Tempat favorit gua all over the world... I totally love the weather, I love the people, I love the food, I love the scenery... enough said... deket sama Monterey and Carmel buat getaway... tapi juga punya charm-nya kota gede... yg kaga tahannya di sini cuma parkir susah sama harga rumah mahalnya ampun2an... tapi kalo gua punya duit nanti, ini tempat gua mau tinggal...

14. New York
Buat visit asik, buat tinggal kaga, IMO, kecuali kalo bener2 punya duit... di sini kaga tahan liat jalanannya... macet, ngingetin gua sama jakarta... yg gua seneng sama ini kota broadway-nya... mau nonton apa juga ada... sama Rockefeller Center... apalagi pas deket2 christmas bagus banget...

15. Orlando
Ini tempat yg dulu tiap taon gua pasti pergi... kaga bisa bosen sama ini tempat... Seminggu buat gua belon cukup di sono... 4 theme parks Disney and 2 theme parks Universal Studio plus yg kecil2 kaga keitung... belon lagi ada factory outlet yg gedeeeee banget di International Drive... yg gua kaga demen, panasnya itu...

16. Las Vegas
Kota yg paling fascinating... gitu turun dari kapal, di airport udah ada jackpot machines... hotel2nya bagus2 banget and murah... makan prime ribs and lobster cuma 10 bucks... dgn wedding chappel and tukang gadai di mana2, asli kaga pernah liat kota kaya gini lagi... lampu2nya bagus banget kalo malem... and suara cring-cring gitu masuk hotel udah kaya lagu aja... cuma selain casino, hotel, shopping center sama show2 gitu, ini kota kaga offer banyak lainnya... 3 hari deh cukup di sini mah...

Kota2 yg lain kaga terlalu berkesan buat gua, mirip2 aja... ntar kalo udah visit kota2 lain deh baru nambahin...
