the only thing new york wins hands down is the award for relentless self promotion and ignorance of everywhere else - which pretty much goes for new yorkers too

Re: New York Vs London by DisGuy: 3:55am On Mar 25, 2009
lol blackspade just proved New York is tall n glass with no character, London traditional Architecture with character

Afam what does having many millionaires have to do with tourism? na millionaires and skyscrapers tourist wan chop?
remember this is the travel section not business section so i guess we are taking about visitors not businessmen n office buildings

Blackspade, to get permit to build a skyscraper in London; you will have to prove that your tasteless tall building is not obstructing residents natural view (sunlight, windflows etc), not blocking peoples view of traditional listed buildings plus it has to be in character with other buildings around it.

Do people actually travel to see skyscrapers with adverts on them? Oh I forgot both of you are from village tongue

You people will always give excuses for everything. So london does not have scy scrapers because the british see it as tasteless, abi?. It's simple they don't have skyscrapers because london is not as commercial and as a financial city as new york.

Mind you we're comparing new York city(Manhattan,Brooklyn,Bronx,Queens,Harlem etc) with a London(state), but even at that New york is still far above London in almost any criteria you might wah=nt to use to judge.

You talk about tourism, now tell me what are the tourist attractions in london. Even though i've not been to london, i know almost everywhere(every street) in that city. If it's not london eye, it's london dungeon, time square,Madam tussauds, and that place where you have MCdonalds(Can't remember) at the center of london i think.

Every city in the world has a ghetto, London is no exception. The crime rate in London is two times that of new york(I guess that's culture)

So you don't know that there's a city of london where the population is less than 500,000 people? In the true sense of the word London(state) is not a city.

council housing are different from ghettos, ghettos are worse than social housing in the UK
those projects are third world!

I'll take peckham over all those projects, damn at the last count there are about 30 naija restaurants serving
all sorts from gbegiri, moin-moin, suya to kebab, tikka masala etc proper world food

well what do you expect when 86% of the population are obese, dont you think they'll suffocate themselves
compare the carbon footprint of NY to London, you'll realise London is very conscious of the environment unlike that waste pipe

Wrong, Because it attracts many visitors,who mostly visit more than twice in their within a year!

Majority of Naija food is just as bad as western food so stop kidding yourself. BTW Your fish and chips, are you aware that it has more calories than a "oversized burger"?

and there's no difference between council flat and projects. All catered to the poor of society. Just cos you guys give it a fancy name, doesnt mean shit

Only jobless people have to worry about lack of health insurance. Sorry, Im not in that category. Unlike there where you wait 10 years before you get treatment, not to mention any jobless lunatic can get it for free on the TAXES OF HARD WORKING PEOPLE.

As for touts, hmm. Violence by youths is more famous orver there now than here and yours is merely an island. Berra pray make no one knife you for staring too long grin
