What an embarrassing post. Certainly even you yourself aren't convinced by the crappy "logic" you gave for liking NYC? You're trying way too hard to not only convince others, but even yourself it seems. There is nothing "factual" about a subjective matter like what city do you prefer.

Anyway I'd say Seattle. New York City would be my first pick but Seattle has now topped it completely. The city is soulless; the people are quiet as mice and refuse to talk. And the overall city reeks of weed, funk, and way too many homeless people. Even at nighttime it seemed dead.

Pattaya is the prostitution capital of the world, almost half of the tourists in Thailand go there.
Where do you got the idea that its not that popular?

The city of Mecca might not be overrated but the word is.
Um, Antalya is not the most visited destination in the world. London, Paris and Bangkok all vie for that title.

And where did you get the idea that they're overrated? They're hardly known, in here at least. And the "most visited" cities don't always have to be overrated.

I would've put cities like Bangkok, Rio, Istanbul, Paris, London, Barcelona or Tokyo in the poll. At least they are more known and visited WORLDWIDE.

Dubai, Vegas and Singapore were your only decent choices, and that's proof enough because they got the most votes.

Milan, Antalya, Mecca, Pattaya and Macau get more visitors than Rio and Tokyo

Haha this got me going. As a Minnesotan I also loved NYC..... then I went there......


In terms of this poll I say Vegas. Go even 1 block off the strip and you feel like you're in a third world country.
