Adelaide Australia is NOT BORING. This is a fallacy that we encourage other states to believe to keep them away...fortunately, it's working.

ive relatives who were born in adelaide , they found it incredibly boring and moved to melbourne

i didnt find auckland anymore boring than christchurch new zealand , the most boring city in new zealand is hamilton by a mile

Been to Dublin.. think it is inferior to Glasgow. For a capital city it's pretty scruffy and underwhelming, not at all buzzing, and too much of a bar culture. I didn't feel safe there at all.

Atlanta, Houston and a whole host of other US cities are the epitome of pxss poor urban planning, they have as much culture and vibrancy as an empty pot of yogurt, unless you enjoy traffic jams on 10 lane highways..

To be fair though, these cities have had most of their development in relatively recent years. They are not hotbeds of history or anything.

So, it's hard to expect too much from that.

Not in the city centre, west end or south side. The majorty of the city is safe and beautiful and yeah i´ve been to Dublin.

The east end of Glasgow is a bit run down just like you seen in every city - good areas and bad areas.
