I find this the most laughable thread I have ever seen in this forum. Have you guys ever though what the Brits and Americans would think if they were to see this discussion?? Nationals of one of the poorest countries in the world arguing over London and NY!!! Give me a break. Saying all that, I do agree with someone who said that whereever you are happy is the best place for you. I am happy in Kathmandu, so Kathmandu is the best place for me. Forget NY and London. I have visited London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow in UK, NY and Miami in US, Frankfurt and Vienna in mainland Europe and Bangkok and Singapore in the far east. In my experience all cities have something to offer (there is something nice about everywhere). However, if I had to put London and NY on a scale, as an outsider I would rate NY 1% higher than London.
