Its not really lie, Its more of the people I've encountered there, they probably never been or have no knowledge of Miami. I'm sure people in general in dubai have heard of Miami.

Here's a CSA look:

Miami-Ft Lauderdale-Port St Lucie, FL
Total Foreign Born, 2014: 2,408,275

Born in Latin America 2,067,098
Born in Europe 144,101
Born in Asia 134,051
Born in Canada 38,837
Born in Africa 21,322
Born in Oceania 2,703

San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland, CA
Total Foreign Born, 2014: 2,552,058

Born in Asia 1,374,316
Born in Latin America 843,796
Born in Europe 220,974
Born in Africa 47,185
Born in Canada 36,732
Born in Oceania 28,888

Miami CSA 36.7%
Miami-Ft Lauderdale-West Palm Beach MSA 39.2%
Port St Lucie MSA 14.0%
Sebastian-Vero Beach MSA 11.0%

Bay Area CSA 29.6%
San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara MSA 37.7%
San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward MSA 30.2%
Stockton-Lodi MSA 23.5%
Napa MSA 22.7%
Vallejo-Fairfield MSA 20.3%
Santa Cruz-Watsonville MSA 18.4%
Santa Rosa MSA 16.0%

The Miami CSA is 36% Foreign Born while the entire Bay Area is 29.6%, but just the SF/SJ MSAs is roughly equivalent to the Miami CSA in population and is 32.6% which is not too different from the Miami CSA.

I can believe people in Asia who dont know anything about Miami. It would make sense.

The middle east is in Asia. Anyway, I can see other Asians not knowing what Miami is.

That dude has a firm belief Miami is something it's not.

I'd say they're about equal, just a different vibe

You can, but I actually do business with clients in Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Shanghai. And everyone knows Miami. Not only do they know Miami, their face lights up when I say I'm from Miami. But you guys can think you know better than me

Asia? Aren't most of the people that you would meet in Dubai tourists from Europe? I'd be a little surprised that most Europeans wouldn't know something of Miami.

And anyone can say that on s forum too. I don't know you.
You don't have the best cred either.
You've busted a few times already.

I just know Miami has weak connections to Asia. And a few people put of a few billion won't change my mind .

If Miami was such a huge hit in Asia. ...

It would have more Asians. Duh.

LA/sf /cali is beloved in Asia. ...hence. ...millions of Asians moved there.
