Best- across the street from campus and half the cost of dorming
worst-closest decent grocery store is a 15 minute walk, kosher takeout is a 10 minute subway ride, and it's not the safest neighborhood

Best - overall nice town, low crime, nice people, decent shopping, free bus around town, good schools, not too far from bigger towns

Worst - the job market SUCKS (and has for the almost 8 years I've lived here, so can't blame the recent economic problems), too cold in the winter (I hate shoveling snow off the roof)

Best: Public transportation, which is quite excellent in my city. You can get anywhere by bus or subway.

Worst: Car traffic and the layout of the roads. You really need to be a good driver to survive this city.

Good: All of the marine life: sea otters, killer whales, gray whales, dolphins, great white sharks, the aquarium, relatively clean air, etc., as well as a bunch of land animals; it's like bambi's forest and nemo's neighborhood right next to each other.

Bad: Great white sharks, I don't have a boat so I can't see them, I can't swim, the aquarium is expensive, the occasional mountain lion alert, cat and dog eating coyote gangs, you can see all of that good stuff in better quality in a picture book, the seagulls are enormous, year-round fog and cold, gang wars, there's nowhere fun to go.

If hang gliding wasn't so expensive, I'd be fine.

Best: There's the sea and some people I cherish.

Worst: Everything else.

Best: Well its Florence (google it) so lots of cultural places to go, you eat veeery well, quite the nice town overall; Tuscany, its beautiful, there are many lakes/rivers to fish in, good landscape; Italy, lots of cities to visit/party in (Rome isnt far, Milan either)

Worst: Florence, is small, too much traffic when it rains, everything costs waay too much, no work available (damn), the Mayor is a dumbass; Tuscany, landscape is sometimes ruined by abusive granted by obvious bribery; Italy, well we have Berlusconi 'nuff said (and sad 🙁 )

The best: Laid back atmosphere, it's like a gaint country town with some city perks. Clean public transport.
The worst: Slow public transport and an even slower internet.

Best; awesome country, awesome city. 'Nuff said.

I really can't think of any downsides. I'm
pretty satisfied with where I live.

I can't tell if you live in a fairy tale or a horror movie.

Either way, watch out for old women in candy houses. 😐

Best: Every culture you could possibly think of, hundreds of museums, dozens of parks, nice scenery.

Worst: Flocks of people running on the sidewalks every morning. Lots of rich people.

Best:
neighborhood: Really quiet. Sometimes you even wonder if people actually live here.. <.< >.>
town: Uhh... It's kinda clean I guess.. And they do their best to make it look nice.
state: Uhm... Good roads I guess
country: Feels kinda laid back.. Which can be nice in a way.. But...

Worst:
neighborhood: There's no one interesting around -.-
town: Horrible leaders making retarded decisions. They put a huge black box in the middle of the grand medieval park and called it a modern art gallery. It's absolutely horrible. And now they want to build an arena that holds like 30k people. Instead of the 3k arena that usually has 1500 spectators. And there's really nothing to do. Few pubs and restaurants, and the few there are are really tiny and expensive and all packed up in the town center. There's not really good old "family restaurant" you see in the mangas 😕
state: All industries are moving away.
country: It's too relaxed. The government are messing everything up more and more. And people are too lazy to protest -.-

Bad: It's freaking cold in the winter, it snows so much... sooooo muucchhhhh. It's hot in the summer, but not clean dry heat, its a sweaty "oh man, i cant take my shirt off, its like glued to me" kind of heat, there's no decent basketball court in the whole city. There's a bunch of good rink tho, but i dont play hockey...geez, i gotta move.

Good: not much trafic, so u can play sports in the street...

k, now try to guess where i live.
