Years ago, during an airport delay, I chatted with a guy from Green Bay who bought me a Jäger shot. That's how I knew he was definitely a Wisconsin native. He was also very drunk and had lost his smartphone.
I have never been to Milwaukee though. I assume it would be as "flatland boring" as OKC, but I made that mistake in Omaha, which turned out to be pretty neat.

It's very diverse. A lot of Japanese cars. Not so many F-150s. Change is good, I guess.

Well, there are morons everywhere.
There are old Irish in NYC who still haven't accepted the PRs. And up the Hudson there's old Dutch money that hasn't accepted the English!

There are only two things I can't stand in this world: (1) people who are intolerant of other people's cultures; and (2) the Dutch

New York has the best "mixed" culture of any city in the world - Berlin and, from what I've heard, Singapore are very close, but I could not live there. It's one of those "great to visit for a long weekend, but wouldn't want to stay" cities, right up there with Boston and both Portlands.
I’ve lived in two of those cities, never thought of them as much alike so that’s an interesting take.

I remember you said you lived in Berlin once. I thought the blend of German (majority)/Turkish/Polish/Vietnamese was remarkable. I had a Turkish Uber driver last year who spoke good German, but was asking me what "tent"/"tarp" meant in English.
I could live in Berlin, but probably not in the Plattenbau - that's a bit too "East" for me.

I was in east Berlin, but not plattembau. I was on the Mitte/Prenzlauerberg Border and then moved to friedrichshain, near Frankforter TorI remember you said you lived in Berlin once.

After 3 nights at the Berlin Hilton, I spent one night at the OSTEL, near the East Side Gallery. Very different, especially compared to the junior suite I had at the Hilton. I did the Stasi Museum that day, too. It's not far from the OSTEL.

Both of Those hotels are in the two neighborhoods I lived In. Loved both.
Berlin is such a weird mix, the Turks being just one group. I had a German friend whose dad had worked for the Stasi and man did that mess him up

Stasi fcked up a lot of people, especially friends and couples. Particularly felt bad for the story of Vera Lansgfeld.

The OSTEL, I think the building was original Ostdeustchland. The lobby, hallways, and rooms were so frugal...the kistchy decorations in the rooms were "Made in the Soviet Union". There were pics of Honecker overlooking the bed, lol.

The Lives of Others was a beautiful and heartbreaking movie.
When I want to see a happy Berlin movie, I watch Goodbye Lenin. One of my faves

The Lives of Others is a classic. Love that film. Goodbye Lenin is great, too. Even if I don't necessarily need the subtitles.

London is as cosmopolitan as New York if not more so. Tokyo would be way down the list. Bangkok would be higher if they counted 2nd gen+ Chinese but otherwise it's fairly homogeneous. Dubai would rank #1 of cities I've been to by a large margin, Toronto would be near the top as well.

To me Vancouver has always seemed more cosmopolitan, and more urbane, than Toronto. Toronto is a suburban, technocratic city: the only such I've seen that also feels human are New York and Paris which are so diverse they kind of burst all adjectives.
Money : Funk
Toronto : Vancouver
Washington : San Francisco
Milan : Rome
Vienna : Salzburg
The stereotype is:
Manhattan : Brooklyn
but TBH even the boroughs of New York are so diverse they defy those descriptions (except Staten Island which is just a nasty piece of New Jersey that got misfiled).

Salzburg is straight-up money at least in the tourist part, lol. They even subtley hate your presence as a tourist and can immediately tell you are one, even if you try to speak German. It's like the Paris of the Deutscher Sprachbund.
I was so glad I found a literal hole-in-the-wall sausage stand for lunch, it was the most genuine interaction I had in the 8 hours I spent there. And of course, it was run by a Serbian woman.

Maybe, but anywhere feels like New Orleans compared to Vienna. I have never experienced a more emotionally constipated city, and I've been to Provo. Considering that it was a joyous, multicultural, ramshackle city in the 1890s it's a cautionary tale of embracing Nazism. When they literally murdered their Jews and gypsies they figuratively murdered their own culture. Vienna is what America would look like after another 40 years of Republican butchery.

Yea, it's funny that people are so concerned about rats, and different versions of them around the hoods.
Great Lakes states have gangs of different kinds of mosquitoes, all trying to kill people along with each other. Let alone the small back flag gangs, who are around to eat people. It's like a buzzing version of West Side Story.
At least the rats attack the garbage- not people.
