Life Big World Cities: Been there?

**Rain Man** · 01-28-2009, 07:59 PM

This one will likely be a little harder.

Populations are from Wikipedia, so ... whatever. We'll run with it.

I've got 11. I've also passed through the Johannesburg airport, but didn't spend the night there.

Some of these would be kind of hard to get.

3.

Chicago, San Francisco and Toronto.

kstater · 01-28-2009, 08:11 PM

1, Chicago.

Spott · 01-28-2009, 08:12 PM

Not a single one. I never liked crowded places anyways, although I've always wanted to go to Chicago. I did however stay at an 50 square mile island in the Caribbean that boasted a population of about 250 people.

I feel like I should be holding back your non-existent hair, what with the binge polling.

Shag · 01-28-2009, 08:17 PM

9, plus 1 airport...

Surprised it's not a public poll - would be interesting to see where people had traveled...

runnercyclist · 01-28-2009, 08:19 PM

LOL 1, Toronto

But, truth is, really have no desire to travel to any either. Too many cool places in the US still to go. I missing 4 or 5 states I've yet to go to.

If we had 5 million poll options, I would've included that island.

Wife's out of town, so I'm going wild.

**DaFace** · 01-28-2009, 08:23 PM

I've got NY, LA, SF, London, and Paris, but that's about it.

burt · 01-28-2009, 08:26 PM

San Francisco, LA and lived in Chicago for a great singles year.

**jjchieffan** · 01-28-2009, 08:31 PM

I have the US cities. NY, SF, LA, and Chicago. Never been overseas. I have been in Canada and Mexico multiple times, but only within walking distance of the border.
