Unsurprisingly the UK and America are nowhere to be seen. Top 10 Vancouver Melbourne Vienna Geneva Perth Adelaide Sydney Zurich Toronto Calgary Bottom 10 Tehran Douala Harare Abidjan Phnom Penh Lagos Karachi Dhaka Algiers Port Moresby What do you think?

Does anyone know if it was anywhere in the list? -------------------- Jess' Travelogue Jess' Website: publications, upcoming travel etc.
