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
most cab drivers cant even speak english
Cab driver in paris speak better English,abi? |

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  |

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.
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.

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 |

New York has a ghetto for every skyscraper built what do you mean by London state? abule boi 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. |

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! 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 |

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.
