Best-ofs so far

People ask what the best city I have been to so far. Here are my thoughts on some of the places I have been so far.

Cities so far are:
NY, Reykavik, Oslo, Bergen, Stockholm, Karlstad, Helsinki, St. Petersburg, Tallin, Riga, Ogre, Villenus, Prague, Chesky Krumlov, Dresden, Liepsig, Frankfurt, Darmstadt, Stuttgart, Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Groningen, Brussells, Paris.

The funnest cities I have been to are:
1. Prague/Chesky Krumlov. Cheap beer, not too touristy make for a fun environment
2. Munich. Expensive beer and touristy make for a fun environment
3. Krakow. Like Prague.
4. Copenhagen. Maybe.

The most overwelming/mind blowing places:
1. St. Petersburg. Very East-European. Police are corrupt.
2. Amsterdam. Traffic: People traffic; Drug traffic; Sex Traffic.
3. New York. A lot of energy.
4. Aushwitz near Krakow. Overwhelming.

The best hostels:
1. Elf Hostel in Prague. Except for a guy named Steve. Very cool place.
2. OK Hostel in Warsaw. Built in bar with "two for one" happy hour.

The worst hostels:
1. Pig Hostels in Amsterdam. Too many drugs in the Central Location. Bed bugs in Palace location.
2. Hostel in St. Petersburg. No hot water. No service. No common area.

Most dangerous cities:
1. St. Petersburg. Police are corrupt.
2. Poland. Train got broken into from Krakow to Prague. Supposedly police are corrupt here too, but I did not hear any direct examples. Half the people I met that went to Russia have some sort of shake down story to tell.

Most comfortable cities:
1. Oslo. Reminded me most of Vancouver
2. Helsinki. Relaxed city.

Coldest people:
1. Iceland. Though people in the tourism industry are not this way at all. Bus drivers and people on the street will stare through you and then angrily at you if you don't move along.

Friendliest people:
1. Small towns like Ogre
2. Copenhagen
3. Netherlands

Most expensive cities:
1. Reykavik
2. Paris
3. Oslo

Least expensive cities:
1. Prague
2. Krakow

Beautiful Cities:
1. Riga, Latvia. They have canals and greenspace down their main city centre which is very beatiful.
2. Copenhagen. Greenspace + canals.
3. Stockholm. Greenspace + canals. Though I found the buildings of Stockholm to be far too imposing: you'd fall into the canal trying to look at one.

Best beer:
1. Prague. Price is right
2. Brussells.
3. Germany - though I don't really like the Heffevisen (sp?)

Best tour:
1. Tour of Berlin. Even though the guide was a pedantic bigot, the tour was very informative.

Best food:
1. Brussels has quality.
2. Paris and New York have selection.

Best museums:
1. Con-Tiki museum in Oslo (about Thor Heyerdahl)
2. Metropolitan Museum of Art and History in New York
3. Porsche tour was cool too.
(note that I have not been going to alot of museums)
