The Best Place To Live In The World Is...

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/05102005/14...ive-world.html

Beaches, ski resorts, mountains, great weather and friendly people are just some of the ingredients of the best place to live in the world.But where is this heaven on earth, where you can have a great standard of living and healthcare, get your hands on the world's best goods and experience some of the best services?

The answer, according to the United Nations quality of life survey, is Vancouver in British Columbia.

The "City of Glass" - so called because of its mirror-fronted skyscrapers


- has topped the poll every year for nearly a decade.

Conde Nast Traveller describes Vancouver as the "perfect Pacific city, shimmering on the edge of a beautiful harbour".

Canada did well in the poll, with two other entries: Toronto at number nine and Calgary in tenth place.

Jon Copestake, editor of the Economist Intelligence Unit, which commissioned the research, said: "There are hardly any problems in Canada and even less in Vancouver."

An impressive five Australian cities made it into the top 10, explaining why so many Brits escape the UK for Down Under.

London failed to impress in the survey and came a dismal 47th out of the 127 cities included.

The worst place to live was named and shamed as Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea.

The 10 best cities to live in are:
Vancouver, Canada
Melbourne, Australia
Vienna, Austria
Geneva, Switzerland
Perth, Australia
Adelaide, Australia
Sydney, Australia
Zurich, Switzerland
Toronto, Canada
Calgary, Canada

The 10 worst cities to live in are:
Tehran, Iran
Douala, Cameroon
Harare, Zimbabwe
Abidjan, Ivory Coast
Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Lagos, Nigeria
Karachi, Pakistan
Dhaka, Bangladesh
Algiers, Algeria
Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea

Heh...my parents are from Tehran, Iran. They left in 1979 cause the revolution. I didnt know Vancouver was #1. I was trying to plan some way of moving up there too

In a word...NO

That's all wrong, Robert, they only included cities. My bed is no where on there.

BEST PLACE IS GOTTA B AMSTERDAM!!!!!!! Coffee shops 4 a reefa n space cake washed down wiv nice herbal tea whilst out doin the shoppin wiv the misses......

lol :p

need i say more....

I've seriously wanted to move there ever since I saw marc Emery and the pot of gold. that's been 8 years now. I promised myself i'll get my ass up there and I will :)

vancouver is the shit, i mean canada is sweet in general but vancouver is the best place ive ever been i dont know if it was just the area i was in but they had amazing weed and coke didnt try the acid scene i wasnt into that stuff at the time but im sure its good

eh...i see amsterdam as more of a place to visit now and then...i like to live a more relaxed lifestyle...there its all party, smoke, and party some more...id spend all of my time in a little smoke cafe...

For me it have to be somewhere in Jamacia due to the abundance of weed, year-long sunshine, Clear blue water, white beaches, Awesome dive sites, and lots of oiled down women in bikinis...... Yea MON!!!!!!

yeah i agree on canada and australia being on that list
