Quote over.

It could not be seen Petersburg or Rome or Florence or Amsterdam, much less Brugge, Gent, of Verona, Vicenza, Padua, Prague.
Hm. Anglosaksono-centric.
And more simply, bosses.
The most amazing selection of Tokyo - a city fuckin bombed and razed to the ground mirikanskimi imperialism during WWII.
Why, for example, has been selected namely Cambridge, is also unclear.
A selection of Chicago that cost?
And New York - is at an amateur in terms of beauty.

Do not blame in the bosses', they are likely, there simply were not :)

Amsterdam may have been, but did not remember because of the different legal circumstances :eek:
Strangely, that Dubai did not include a list :D
to Moscow or Budapest definitely not reached :confused:
Another would have advised them to see Tbilisi (for diversity) <!--~ 10 ->

Do not you know that all these ratings is the same business, as well as many others. Paid the money and enjoy the first place. This is a business, such as beauty contests and the like.

In which category designed sabzhey forbsovsky spisag?

They're for someone to want the same sound convincing?

Who are these sabzhi who some crappy Forbes examines vserioz?

Normally expressed not happen?

But how can normally be expressed when the provincial morons, imposed itself on the world, according to Chicago krasifshe Rome?

I placed a list of their priorities for the European capitals and major cities like:

1) Saint-Petersburg
2) Vienna
4) Barcelona
3) Prague.

I appreciate the architectural impression of the city, the integrity of his images, brand mood (impression) of the city.
Paris, alas, I place in the second class, as well as Moscow.

In small towns:

San Leo (Italy), Urbino (Italy), Suzdal, St. George-Polish, without numbering in places.

My rating does not purport to be complete, because I was not in all cities of Europe.

Dual impression left Moscow, Paris, Rome, Budapest, Warsaw

and my favorite - Rome, Prague and New York. with - all are equally loved, but it is a different.
about New York: she did not expect that feeling of wholeness and harmony, what happened to me from this town (especially from Manhattan).
-----
in St. Petersburg, of course, insulting. although I suppose that our city requires all did some training, level of education. its beauty in the first place in the harmony and coherence of architectural ensembles of the historical center.
to the untrained viewer, perhaps most of all will act divorced bridges - but not all of the guests see them. the more - from Forbes :) "not the audience <!--~ a ~-->) they are increasingly from negotiations to negotiations. and then - more in Moscow than we :)
but if interviewed European pensioners - I think the list would have turned out quite different <!--~ a ~-->))

One of my friend, art critic, to my surprise by visiting New York, said: "The Living City. Theoretically, I could live there."

But what about its beauty? And where are they?


House and pencil cases?

Igor Guriev, human Your friend :) Human :) very similar feelings.

and beauty - God knows :) "in my opinion - he's very solid. cast, or something.
it has its own magic.
then - certainly beautiful bridges, central park, all the panoramas. I also prospects Street and Avenue liked.
Yes, and skyscrapers - not all canisters. many ledges rise up - and do not feel that something is pressing. vice versa - the space goes up, and diverges in hand simultaneously.

I have finally scanned the New York film and even show them to be.
