We do it to brighten your day.

It’s been working for nearly twenty years

@Mr_PBH

Where’s the list of shitty little towns?

In the Taiwan phone directory?

BOOM.

[Mr_PBH]

Yeah, that and all of Oklahoma.

@TT

all the countries they touched down in

Considering this is on Tinder, are you sure that’s what the flags are actually showing?

I vaguely knew a girl in China who mentioned at some point that she was “collecting nationalities”. (Emphasis on “vaguely” - if the UK was already on her completed list, which I’m guessing it was, it wasn’t because of me.)

That is NOT how my brain saw that at first!

[TT]

Fair enough, in my younger days I kept a passport and selected photos for each country. An ex went snooping on my computer and deleted all that, and it wasnt worth starting over

Regional influence? Or global? Also, how are we defining influence?

Stepping on butterflies.

Olympic cities? Oh wait. Gothenburg hosted a world athletic championships, not an Olympic Games.

[Deca]

44. but that is a weirdly USA-skewed list of global cities.

@vibekiller

There’s no way Santiago is better than Kyoto. I’ve lived in both and the quality of life is incomparable. To have a decent standard of living in Santiago, you have to at least be upper middle class (what we call ABC1), while in Kyoto you can leave in a peaceful and clean place on a pretty tight budget (buying all your groceries at Gyomu Supa and biking instead of taking public transport).

And have better gardens and parks for traipsing around (well that cerro santa lucia was nice enough).

[TimesThree]

Sixteen. List seems a bit skewed toward the US/Canada though.

[vibekiller]

That’s true, the east side of Santiago is pretty green. In fact, I miss having so many parks around

[fuji]

25 not including transfers and I am pretty embarrassed as I think I drove through Budapest at least 3 times but never actually stepped out of the car so I’m not counting it

Good enough.

[BiggusDickus]

I’ve been to Leeds.

[BigDave]

I think I’m competing for @jimipresley for last place. To be honest, I feel homesick if I go to Taipei.

[Dr_Milker]

@BiggusDickus

I’ve been to Leeds.

Sorry, not on the list.

@BigDave

Under ten?

[jimipresley]

I’ve actually been to a lot of cities. But they’re all in filthy Africa, so don’t make the whitelist.
