I've always liked the setting for Singapore, though it's not to everyone's tastes.

Nat has always had a soft spot for Lyon!


Which is a very nice city I agree, and pretty under-rated. Among other things, the food scene is awesome there.

Blushing...I do.

Two hills and two rivers makes a nice setting...and what they've done with the place over the millennia.

A lot of places around the world are claimed to be a "mini-Paris". It might be entirely accurate, but I haven't seen anywhere that might fit the bill more than Lyon.
