Thing about AZ, least in phoenix/scottsdale area is that it's a little 'stripmallish' like and not enough culture (minus hispanic of course).

Re: What 3 things do you like best about your city? What are your top 3 dislikes?

Toronto:

Likes:
1 - Great friendly people
2 - Amazing Metropolis and a very fast and trendy city
3 - Multiculturalism

Dislikes:
1 - Too Many Desis
2 - Cold Weather
3 - Traffic

Re: What 3 things do you like best about your city? What are your top 3 dislikes?

People's Republic of Boulder (County)

1) Natural Beauty! Right at the edge of Rockies. Some spring/summer days I walk out my door and the scene is breath taking.
2) Great educational institutions. Most high schools are listed top in the nation and a number of public universities within driving distance of each other.
3) Great standard of living, when compared to the cost of living. Things to do both for family and single, not away from wilderness but not away from a big city like Denver. Cost of housing etc.

Dislikes;

1) Not a strong/big religious community.
2) Away from coast, dry weather and sometimes harsh winters.
3) Away from relatives who are mostly concentrated in the east coast, and thus away from Pakistan/Europe.

Re: What 3 things do you like best about your city? What are your top 3 dislikes?

Orange County, California

Likes:

  1. Beaches (all :love: within miles). Disney Land is very close to my place. Plus close to theme parks etc. Good restaurants. Multicultural
  2. Temp. is usually a little better than other counties. it gets hot but not as much.
  3. security :k: . Traffic is way better than Los Angeles etc.
  4. Good institutions including school districts, Uni, Islamic school etc etc.

Dislikes:

  1. Expensive :mad:
  2. no malls/shopping after 8pm. (but its like that everywhere in USA) and it gets really boring.:emmy:
  3. Its not Lahore

Re: What 3 things do you like best about your city? What are your top 3 dislikes?

I have lived in so many cities - each one had great things & worst too. Presently I am living in Prague.

Likes:

1) Perfect sized - not small not big.
2) Brilliant transport system & a very good underground (only three lines though)
3) Not much diverse yet pretty much multi-cultured.
4) Reasonable flight connections to Europe & North America.
5) Brilliant night life.
6) Almost no Pakistanis, very few indians. Virtually desi-PAK city.
7) Easy approach to all parts of Europe by car (best feature for me).
few more.

Dislikes
1) Old generation still thinks foreigners as invaders.
2) Extremely difficult language (not easy to learn).
3) Most people dont speak English, rather speak German.
few more.

Re: What 3 things do you like best about your city? What are your top 3 dislikes?

What's the "like" in having a desi free city, or a dislike in having too many desis? Is self hatred so common on Gupshup? Do you think goras say this? Can you imagine a gora saying "Nah.. Dubai sucks, too many goras" or a gori saying "Went to a club in Hong Kong, full of Americans, it sucked because of that". Why not?
