- 12/25. I disagree with most, except the Champs Elysees. Doesn't everyone think of London as being foggy and rainy? -- nm - Roger More Nov 21, 10:02 3
  - The list is too erratic. In some cases, entire cities are written off. In others, it's only a specific location. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 21, 10:04 1
    - Where they're cities, it seems to be about one experience - like Miami: night clubs - Roger More Nov 21, 10:11
  - I was pretty impressed by the Champs Elysees, but there were riot police there at the time so my experience wasn't typical... -- nm - Ender Nov 21, 10:04
