Finishing up my previous posts on the top 3 Cities I'd Most Like to Live In, as encountered on my RTW trip, here's the full ranking. To keep things succinct for the cities that didn't make the top 3, I present a summary of each city using five words only.
#1 Melbourne: previous post here
#2 Buenos Aires: previous post here
#3 Sao Paulo: previous post here
#4 Istanbul: Lively locals, impenetrable as tourist.
#5 Sydney: Great Chinatown, feels like California.
#6 Bangkok: Gigantic shrines to shopping, nonstop.
#7 Auckland: Safe, cute, polite, sometimes dull.
#8 Cape Town: Gorgeous but dangerous, weekend's enough.
#9 Rio de Janeiro: Juice bar love, danger paranoia.
#10 Vientiane: Expat local blend, yummy food.
#11 Luang Prabang: Laid back attitude, backpacker playground.
#12 Phnom Penh: Friendly people, dirty, overzealous tuk-tuks.
#13 Siem Reap: Town exists for tourists, period.
