[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved Savannah, New Orleans, and Paris. Another city people are often let down by that I loved was Venice.

Places that didn't live up to expectations include Rome, Bali, Varanasi, and Chicago.

I've lived overseas for quite a while and I finally figured out what made me like or dislike a place:  weather.

My favorite places in Europe turned out to be the ones I visited in the September/early October.  Blue skies, mild weather, and window boxes still in bloom.

Loved Venice--but one time I visited, and it was flooded.  Had that been my only visit, I would have hated it.

Hated Berlin.  I went in February and I have never been as cold in my life.

I did not realize why I liked or disliked a place until I reflected on it years later.

As for Paris, I was not charmed like some people.  Might have been getting flashed by a pervert on the subway.  Also, might have been because it is not as romantic when you visit with friends and not romantic interest.[/quote]
