I live in Hobart, Tasmania. I love it here, the best water, air, rainforests, everything. Hell we even won the best beach in the world last year (Bay of Fires).
Edit: Not just best beach, but best location in the world. There ya go.

Valencia, Spain.
What I like about it its that its not as big as a megacity but is big enough too have all the facilities of a big city near you. Its big, but not enormous (like Madrid and Barcelona), the perfect size.
And it has one of the most awesome festivals in the world.
Turia's Old River bed, now a large park, its dividing Valencia in 2 and are the lungs of the city. Brings lots of natural air. You can go from one side of Valencia to the other only by walking through this park, if I remember correctly is something like 8 km. My new house its at the start of the old riverbed entering Valencia city (the end being the sea), in the north part, and it one of the new modern zones with a huge new park that its what starts now the old river bed.
This photo is old, when I was small, there was no City of Arts and Sciences yet (all the brown zones in the right of the picture), I lived there when I was small, near the unconstructed City of Arts and Sciences.
This one is new, you can see the City of Arts and Sciences at the end with the sea in the backgorund)
Plaza del Ayuntamiento (City Hall Square):
Valencia Cathedral with the Miguelete Tower:
City of Arts and Sciences:
And Valencia in Fallas (one of the greatest festivals in the world), from 15th to 19th of March:
One dream I always have is someone uses Valencia for a GTA type game, and uses a seasons system, so theres a part of the game that happens in Fallas and I can create havoc during the festivals. :lol Also going through the river park with the car could be godly (in real life only police cars can go into the river bed)

Well, it's rather small (38 square meters), and therefore not too expensive (a little under 1,000 a month) for the location, which itself is priceless for my wife and me. We can't really imagine living in another part of Paris now, we've been spoiled! Of course, we realize it's a lot of money, but we can afford it for now.Dascu said:

Shito said:Paris, France.
College: Belfort, France
Yeah, that's some Vauban right there :lol
Parents, High-school friends: Paris, France
My highschool is just to the left (this is the Trocadéro), and the Eiffel Tower is just across the Seine from here.
I would cross this bridge every day while going to class.
Family, middle-school friends, girlfriend: Montpellier, France
This city is so fucking great for going out in the summer
Rémi Gaillard? Yeah that's Montpellier
My hometown: Seattle, WA, USA
Left five years ago, been wanting to go back ever since.

Another person from Columbus! I have lived here for the last 2 years. I grew up in a military family and have lived all over the U.S, but my hometown(which is most certainly nothing to brag about) is Fairborn, OH:
The only two note-worthy things we have here are Wright Patterson AFB, and Foy's Halloween Store.

I live in Hackney as well. You live in the ONLY nice part of Hackney. Church street and all that doesn't look like it's part of Hackney at all in all honesty. If you go either left or right from Stoke Newington, you end up in Dalston which is a shit hole, or Stamford Hill which is also a shit hole (and go further into Tottenham if you dare)
London is a nice tourist attraction. That is all.

Yeah, it's Riihimaki, Finland. Mostly known as the shithole of this country.
Dabookerman said:
Well actually i live in Stamford Hill :lol :lol Oh please, the Jewish Mafia are really scaring me:lol :lol. Dalston is becoming more and more gentrified, Stamford Hill is nothing scary at all and it's quiet and nice trendy, Clapton, i can sorta see. But it does not phase me. Same goes for Tottenham. Where in Hackney are you?

Don't let this fine shot deceive you, it's a shithole that constantly tries to win culture awards by building weird-looking monuments:

What exactly are you defining trendy here?
I've lived in Clapton for too long (not for longer WOO).
Stamford Hill looks like a slum, the jews don't really have anything to do with it. It's just an uninteresting place. The only tourist attraction is Netto
I guess if that's your thing, then great!

Really? I love Newcastle.PumpkinPie said:
Dabookerman said:
LOL i define trendy as a place where you'd imagine people in Camden (barring goths) would hang out. I can't see what you dislike about Stamford Hill other than it being a bit dull when it comes to nightlife, but when the west end is a30-45 minute bus ride away who cares? You live like 2 minutes from me? I bet you live at like Warwick estate or some shit so that's why you hate the borough. I live not to far from Clapton Common.
I like London, i just really want to visit/live in NYC.

You sure it's not called Bright Falls?

funny you say that because i'm about 99% convinced that they must have based that town off of mine.
the fire district in alan wake is one number off of ours, if you go down the side trails in the game there are numerous sight seeing things that exist here (like that swinging tree that shows how old it is based off the rings - exact replica of the one here).
plus we have a god damn turkey fest

I'm fairly sure that they spent a lot of time outside Seattle in the more rural areas, looking at the scenery, taking photos and etc.
