:O Five. This is hard. Cities are my fav things in the world:

London- It's jst so busy, multi-cultural and diverse. It's the best place on earth for shopping and eating. The architecture is INCREDIBLE. It's so interesting and you see something different on every street. Feck, it's so good that I'm moving there when I get through uni.

Paris- Love the Haussmannian architecture and uniform streets. More fab modern stuff too. It feels really cultured and the museums are great. Can be a bit gritty but I think that adds it. Probably the world biggest concentration of famous landmarks in a small area.

Berlin- The history drips from this place. You can see the remains of Hitler's bunker a street away from the left overs of the Berlin wall, which is in turn literally a short walk from the beautiful Reichstag/Brandenburg gate. It is the city with the coolest people in the world. The club scene is amazing and it is really diverse and interesting.

NYC- It's a parallel of London in many ways I suppose. It's an Art Deco heaven and the feeling it projects is that NYC= The capital of the world.

Tokyo- This is where East meets West. The biggest city on EARTH. The culture is really strange, but I love it! It might not be the most attractive city, but for someone like me who loves big urban environments it's heaven. The sky scrapers are so cool and futuristic and Shibuya (sp?) is probably the busiest little patch on this planet.

I would also have loved to have said Prague, Madrid, Barcelona, Dublin, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Budapest, Rome, Milan, Seattle, Chicago, Toronto, Buenos Ares, Santiago, Sydney, Melbourne, Singapore, Ghaungzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Osaka... my own BELSHAFT!!one11!! awh **** I'm gonna go on forever
