No V-signs?
Goodness knows how they compile these lists. This one looks a bit wacky to me. Vancouver and Vienna usually get a mention.

And
who the hell are travel and leisure anyway?
I think I'll produce a list of top ten real estate agents and call it the Real Estate Magazine Thailand Agents Awards. Now there's an idea...

Free Hardcore!!!!
Phone Beirut 987654321000000
Paris, Prague, London, Venice, York, Bath, Edinburg and Vancouver are in most peoples favourites. Sadly and delightful though they are, neither Bangkok or Chiang Mai are.

The magazine's "methodology" used to determine the list can be found here: http://www.travelandleisure.com/worldsbest/2006/info.cfm . Haven't read it yet as I'm out the door. Take a look and see what you think.
Obviously Beirut was on there according to, er, 'earlier', criteria.
Cheers ....

Cities
The list in the magazine is fine. I tend to perfer my own list that reflects places I like, for example my top 10 cities would be:
l. Pattaya
2. New York
3. Bangkok
4. Rome
6. Amsterdam
6. Rio (Copacabana)
7. Puerto Vallarta
8. Paris
9. Acapulco
10. Fort Lauderdale
My list would reflect I'm close to Mexico and live in USA.
Anyone else care to expand of favorite cities.

Doubt what will be left of Beruit will be on the list next year... Maybe it will be replaced by Baghdad if they can make the road from the airport to the Green zone planted with date palms...
Actually it would be interesting to hear the top 10 cities under 100,000 people...

- Paris (by a mile)
- London
- Bangkok
- Vancouver
- Amsterdam
- Toronto
- Puerto Vallarta
- Marseilles
- Chartres/Salisbury/Clermont-Ferrand
- Douglas (Isle of Man)
All the above for different reasons. I just wish I'd been to more Asian cities, but that's coming up toot sweet!
Cheers ...
Hmmmmmmmmm .... Am I mistaken, or did I just read somewhere that Thaiquila thought of himself as a genius?
Must be the meds.

Vancouver and Toronto??? The topic is "top cities", not "top cities lacking any kind of character whatsoever".
My list at the moment would be Paris, New York, Bangkok, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Rome, Cape Town, Buenos Aires, Sydney, and Rio de Janeiro.

I agree, while I have enjoyed Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal, no Canadian city deserves top billing.
I had such a lousy time in Paris ages ago that Paris would never be on my personal top list.
