Kai,London is boring jare |
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 |
Re: New York Vs London by Afam4eva(m): 4:35am On Mar 25, 2009 |
Dis Guy: Are u sure u read my post b4 replying cos i did'nt write anything like tourism. I opened the thread so u don't tell me that my thread is about tourism.I'm talking about the nature of this two cities in it's generality which also includes tourism. |
Re: New York Vs London by DeReloaded: 4:41am On Mar 25, 2009 |
Thank you o, blackspade See their pathetic ripoff of Time Square. Embarrassing. I will admit Tower Bridge is lovely to look at. |
Re: New York Vs London by Afam4eva(m): 4:42am On Mar 25, 2009 |
Dis Guy: 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. |
Re: New York Vs London by Hotstepper(f): 4:44am On Mar 25, 2009 |
NY, NY, cant wait, who lives in NY i this forum sef? |
Re: New York Vs London by Afam4eva(m): 4:46am On Mar 25, 2009 |
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. |
Re: New York Vs London by Afam4eva(m): 4:47am On Mar 25, 2009 |
I even prefer paris to boring london. |
Re: New York Vs London by Hotstepper(f): 4:48am On Mar 25, 2009 |
lol@afam, pity dem, oh u 4got BIG BEN if it still exist, lol |
Re: New York Vs London by DisGuy: 5:04am On Mar 25, 2009 |
Hotstepper: why wont it exist! it existed before New York sef that's tradition for you afam its in the travel section of a forum what do you expect New York has a ghetto for every skyscraper built what do you mean by London state? abule boi |
Re: New York Vs London by DisGuy: 5:07am On Mar 25, 2009 |
afam4eva: so skyscrapers equates to financial city? you that's why its not good to go straight from nnewi village to Yankee, please make sure you pass Lagos first, make you sharp up Brooklyn=ghetto Bronx=ghetto Queens=ghetto harlem=ghetto |
Re: New York Vs London by Afam4eva(m): 5:09am On Mar 25, 2009 |
London is not even the financial capital of Europe, Frankfurt is. London is not the tourism capital of Europe, Istanbul is. London is not the Fashion capital of Europe, Milan is. QUESTION: So what's london? ANSWER: Trash 1 Like |
Re: New York Vs London by DeReloaded: 5:11am On Mar 25, 2009 |
Thwer4's no difference between ghettos and council housing. Go play in your Peckham |
Re: New York Vs London by Afam4eva(m): 5:15am On Mar 25, 2009 |
Dis Guy: 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. |
Re: New York Vs London by Hotstepper(f): 5:19am On Mar 25, 2009 |
I went to UK several times and trust me, I cannot live in that country even if its for free, everything was just weird compared 2 north America, houses are small, roads small and like da whole population is in one street OXFORD, its okay for me to visit and zap but i envy peeps dat live dere, trust me, if one leaves UK and live in any North American countries, da difference is clear, |
Re: New York Vs London by DisGuy: 5:23am On Mar 25, 2009 |
DeReloaded: dis madam is always hounding London posts 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 eating oversized burger is not it! |
Re: New York Vs London by DisGuy: 5:25am On Mar 25, 2009 |
Hotstepper: 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 1 Like |
Re: New York Vs London by DisGuy: 5:26am On Mar 25, 2009 |
afam4eva: still has many visitors than New York |
Re: New York Vs London by Afam4eva(m): 5:27am On Mar 25, 2009 |
Dis Guy: Because it allows may visitors and new york doesn't. London is a public toilet for Nigerians, they go there to poo whenever they want. |
Re: New York Vs London by DisGuy: 5:35am On Mar 25, 2009 |
afam4eva: Wrong, Because it attracts many visitors,who mostly visit more than twice in their within a year! and why will any 'booming' city reject visitors? New York only has lights on tall lifeless buildings, with a lot of dumb cab iraqi drivers |
Re: New York Vs London by DeReloaded: 5:41am On Mar 25, 2009 |
Dis Guy: as opposed to the millions of "dumb" Naija cab drivers that hound you as soon as you get out of Heathrow? |
Re: New York Vs London by Afam4eva(m): 5:42am On Mar 25, 2009 |
Dis Guy: New york is trying to play safe. America does not just give people visa anyhow, U really have to be up and doingb4 been granted visa to visit america. |
Re: New York Vs London by DeReloaded: 5:44am On Mar 25, 2009 |
Dis Guy: 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 abeg no make I distract you from putting coins in your heater |
Re: New York Vs London by Nobody: 5:47am On Mar 25, 2009 |
[size=20pt]New york, new york, big city, big dreams. New york am coming, am coming. My dreams can never die. I must get to new york b4 i die.[/size] |
Re: New York Vs London by DeReloaded: 5:48am On Mar 25, 2009 |
Rofl. Berra go to London and make sure you buy a bike cos with their roads, they end up parking their cars on the roof |
Re: New York Vs London by DisGuy: 5:50am On Mar 25, 2009 |
afam4eva:play safe with iraqi cab driver? erm naaa mate! DeReloaded: well considering people rarely drive to the corner shop over in London, or call the fire service to get them out of the bathroom, they can walk off their excess calories stay prim n proper no sagging bottoms like touts coins in heater? when did you visit London during the stone age? make sure you stay indoors as usual guys, you dont want to injure yourself remember no health insurance i dey go sleep jare |
Re: New York Vs London by Afam4eva(m): 5:53am On Mar 25, 2009 |
Dis Guy: Sleep tight, and tell SIKIRATU that i asked after her. |
Re: New York Vs London by DeReloaded: 6:00am On Mar 25, 2009 |
Dis Guy: stone age? If anything, getting paid MONTHLY is stone aged rarely drive wetin?, yet AMERICAN CARS ie Fords are all over your congested roads. Abi no be Ford your James Bond sef use in Quntum of Solace. Cheap people Abeg stop fooling yourself. 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 G'night o. Go put your recharge card in your heater make you no freeze to death |
