My favourite cities to visit, in no particular order:
1. Paris, France. The city of light, well at least it is the city of light in Europe. I like Paris because it is so pretty. The Eiffel Tower illuminates with a light show at 11 pm each night, the Moulin Rouge glows with neon lights and then there’s the red light district. It’s very shiny. The red light district is near the district of Montmartre. It’s filled with expensive and enticing sex shops. Ah Montmartre. The home of Amelie Poulain and the Two Windmills cafĂ©, the home of cool.
2. London, England. London is great. Full old cute neighbourhoods and park squirrels and subway trains. I love to view the ancient architure scattered about this city. London is fashionable. I love to people watch in London. I love to shop for stylish pieces and to be inspired by street fashionistas. I love the quirkiness of the alternative Camden Town. Camden Town’s main street is line with markets and vegetarian eateries and music venues. This is also we close friend resides. It makes me love it even more.
3. Florence, Italy. Florence, what a beautiful name! It suits this city. Florence is one my favourite cities in Italy. I liked the quaint cobbled streets, the outdoor statue museum, the Michelangelo Piazza (which has stunning views of the city) and the gelati.
4. Bath, England. Bath is about a two hour train journey from London and a 90 minute bus ride to the Stonehenge. Bath is an old Roman spa resort established in 43 AD and has been inscribed as a world heritage site since 1987. It’s incredibly quaint small city situated in the county of Somerset. It was once home for Jane Austen and is the home to the beautiful Bath Abbey, built in the 16th century.
5. Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The tourist districts of Amsterdam smell strongly of cannabis smoke and glow with red light. The word sex is everywhere. You can catch a glimpse of the working girls in windows day or night, it’s a 24 hour a day business.
6. Tokyo, Japan. I love you Tokyo. Tokyo, so hip, so cool. So stylish, so crazy. I love the neon lit sky scrapers, the twinkling theme music of the main streets. The subway trains are so fast and clean. The streets are clean and smell so sweet. The girls are the trendiest, cute and kitschy I’ve ever seen and I adore it.
7. Berlin, Germany. Alternative Berlin. Berlin you may not be as beautiful as Florence or Bath, but you are so so interesting and mature. There are three things that will always be etched to my mind when I think of Berlin. One is the street art lining the walls of Berlin. Two is the history, the Berlin Wall, the memorial to Jews and vast information on Nazi Germany. Third is the bier bike.
You are so much more well travelled than I - out of those cities, I've only been to Tokyo!
