I think Spain is amazing. In particular Sevilla. Malaga didn't do much for me though.

[–] Expensive-Plant-5264@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Pretty cool, actually plan to visit Alicante and Valencia in Feb. Will prob skip Malaga.

My list: Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, Phnom Penh, Jakarta, Manila. I guess my favorite region is obvious

[–] legia12345@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Jakarta 🙄 ?

Milan is not a bad city. For me it’s Bangkok at the top. I love Rome too tbh.

[–] cs_legend_93@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Milan is not great. It’s a congested city and a bit dirty. There’s plenty of other places. Florence for example.

[–] ChodeBamba@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Milan is a real living breathing city while Florence is a time capsule tourist city. I say this in the best way possible for Florence, I loved the time I spent there. But living there for an extended period time sounds less appealing to me than a vacation. I spent several weeks working in Milan and living the day to day, and found it to be a great place to do exactly that.

Milan is a good city man. Great clubs like old fashion, just Cavalli etc that have something going on each day of the week. They have student nights on Tuesday and Wednesday. Their metro system is pretty efficient, the trams take you everywhere. The food is decent, women are great looking, it’s walkable, safer than most of the other cities that I have been to. Unless you live in a ghetto like Rozzano etc it’s a good city. Brera, the area around montenapoleone is very beautiful. The bars are great and the weather is not too bad too. I wish I could go back.

If I didn't have to be in Milan I'd probably live somewhere around lake como (not como or bellagio etc. because they get insanely crowded) and then you're only a train ride away from Milan if you feel like shopping or whatever. Milan would be a fantastic hub though, super connected train station, airport

Lago di Como and Lugano, two gorgeous places are an hour or so away.

There are pockets of Milan which are bad just like every other city

I wish I could go back.

These days in Milan all you hear is the Islamic call to prayer, feels like being in Istanbul.

[–] cs_legend_93@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I had no idea. I spent a few weeks in Milan a few years ago and did not hear that Islamic call to prayer. Is that a new thing? Why did it start?

[–] ejpusa@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Mexico City is really awesome. Before they build a wall to keep us out, suggest a trip.

Seoul being at the bottom 10 is insane...like that makes no sense.

[–] ieatkittentails@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Culture shock, low rate of English-speakers and relative high-cost.

These are the kind of expats that land in another country and head straight for the nearest Irish pub, complaining about how nobody speaks Engish along the way.

[–] Higginsniggins@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

relative high-cost isn't a small factor

We keep Mexico on the down-low. The Oaxaca coast. Wow! Just on another planet.

But keep it quiet. :-) shhhhhhhhhhh

Did they write the list in reverse or something?

Lmao, i'd like to hear the unironic case for why cleveland deserves to be on this list.

[–] edcRachel@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Oh hey, checking in from number 4! Hit me up if you want a tour. I can show you the flea market and the farmers market. Maybe the gym.

[–] ieatkittentails@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Muscat is a surprising inclusion, everything I've heard about it is that it's lovely but heavily car-dependent, has crap internet and is a little boring.

[–] That42guy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The weirdness is explained by the methodology and the subjectiveness described here in case anyone was wondering. https://www.internations.org/expat-insider/2023/city-ranking-methodology-40427

[–] terrible-username101@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Im surprised Taipei or Kaohsiung isnt at the top.

[–] Quantum-traveler88@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

A Forbes article? Do I look dumb to you? I’m not even clicking that bullshit.

[–] ak80048@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Lol Dubai and Abu Dhabi

[–] GlassPhilosophy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

ROFL at Nairobi being in the list, guess the people have created the list have not actually explored it properly.

As an Indian, I think Mumbai and everything in India should’ve been under the worst
