Overated, you can drive an hour and move from Autumn to Spring an extra hour either way and be in summer to winter where entire flora, fauna ecosystems & scenery change dramatically! And you can do this whenever you want, you're not obliged to wait 3-6 months or restrained to the clock.

It's not exactly the same. For example, some plants require a warm summer but also a relatively cold winter to grow well.

Quality of cities, not quantity!

It's true that due to its size, the US has lots of cities, but most of them are car-centric, unwalkable, sprawling, crime-ridden *****.

I'd say France, Germany, Japan, Italy, maybe the UK, Spain.

China is in second.

You can love London ..... without the endless negativity toward the US. It gets old. It has become more and more a anti-US agenda. Clearly we get you abhor suburban lifestyles and no US city gets your luv either .... for anything. But they are all very different and you generalize everything and crime is over-dramatized by you also, totally to put down any US city. Many understand where this is ridicules to use constantly to mock.
