honest... religious people scare me :(

tel aviv is cosmopolitan, cool, girls wear tiny skirts and have fabulous legs, you can find non-kosher food, it's right by the beach, i love the bauhaus buildings, the cinematheque, this art museum i dont remember its name, and the tel aviv univerity library, and going to yafo for pitot on saturday (heathen that i am), and sheinkin street at night, an the market in the morning, and this 24 hour hummus place around where i was living, and the awesome coffee shops, and bookstores, i love that town, just walking around, i love it.

Madrid
London
Hong Kong

There's no way you want to live in Marseille! I used to live there for 15 years and guy it's SHIIIIIIT. Blah. There's great landscapes, of course, but culturally it's near zero: no gig, no local scene (there's only one good band I can think of, Binaire), no discstores. And people are really stupid generally. No, really, you shouldn't live there. Lille is far better, in France
