Tokyo

Top Pro

Nearly flawless transportation system

Trains are on time to the minute, and delays of more than a minute are rare and frowned upon by the transportation agency, the news, and the public. Trains will take you literally anywhere and everywhere in Tokyo and all of Japan. See More

Top Con

Occasional earthquakes

Tokyo, like the rest of Japan, lies on the Ring of Fire and is prone to fairly regular earthquakes. Most are small, but once in a while, residents do get shaken up by a slightly larger one. Most of the buildings are built to withstand earthquakes up to a magnitude 8. See More

Top Pro

Diverse, affordable, and consistently quality restaurants

Everyone in Tokyo is a foodie. The high demands of consumers have created one of the most competitive restaurant scenes in the world. See More

Top Con

Peak-hour trains are crammed

Rush hour trains are extremely, extremely crammed. You will likely not need to hold on to anything, because everything will be squeezed in. See More

Top Pro

Clean

Rarely is there trash on the streets. Any party overflows are cleaned up overnight. See More

Milan

Top Pro

Extremely colorful cultural life

One of the most important centers during the Renaissance and one-time capital of the Roman Empire before that, Milan has always been an important cultural hub. Because of this it's a city rich in architecture, museums and history. Nowadays it's famous for being an important center of fashion and design, the Milan design week is the largest of its kind in the world. Also famous for the prestigious "La Scala" opera house and home to two of the biggest European Football Clubs. So wherever your interests may lie (history, architecture, design, fashion, music, sports), you can most likely find it in Milan. See More

Best transportation system in the US

While posh areas like the Upper East Side are very clean, the majority of Manhattan is rather cluttered. The subway system in particular is known to be the home to thousands of cockroaches and rats. See More

Top Pro

Diverse melting pot

People speaking every single language, eating every kind of food, doing every kind of job, wearing every kind of clothing, playing every kind of instrument, the list goes on. New York is home to everything except deep dish pizza. See More
