Small town girl

What does Sup Forums think of real cities?

I live in a town with about 90k people, and have spent a large part of my life in Auckland.

That being said, I recently went to Melbourne and was pretty disgusted. The city itself is actually really pretty.

>the smell
>people constantly walking into you and not acknowledging it
>cramped public transport
>shop keepers everywhere are rude and unhelpful

Melbourne is considered small compared to most major cities around the world. Is this really what I can expect if I travel to London or Berlin, except worse? Really put me off the idea of traveling tbqh. You don't see this shit in the movies.

How does Sup Forums think of cities?

>offput by fucking melbourne

you're welcome to come to Istanbul sweetheart :)

I actually always did want to visit here. Maybe not now

Some cities can be comfy, but most modern cities are just glorified industrial parks.

gas them
thank god civilization hasnt reached this wilderness yet

Sup Forums are mostly rednecks. Like you, they don't like big cities.

I live in Boston and hate cities

New York is worse

Liberals ban everything fun except dude weed

Full of basic people who follow predefined lists of what they should like as a yuppie/student/socialist/alt person

They're all fucking cancer and full of dirty Muslims

Saving up to buy some land in Maine one day

I can go everywhere I want by walking or by some public transport method in mexico city and it's kinda cool, days are shorter because you spend all the time commuting and rent is high, other than that everything is cheaper in mexico city including food, services, electricity, transportation, cabs, schooling compared to my medium size home "city"
In my home city I needed to drive my car everywhere, the closest store is 1 km away from my gated community and services and food is way more expensive.
When I'm in my home city during summer vacations I become a lazy idiot that sleeps 12 hours a day and only goes out the house to drink or party once or twice a week, where as in Mexico city I spend 3/4th of my day outside making shores, attending university, doing sports and going out with friends or dating.

>making shores
?

Mostly shit, except for the food and architecture.

I live in a "city" of 300,000, but it's less of a city and more just giant urban sprawl with shopping malls. There are no high rises or real "city" or anything. Just low density suburban houses and a shopping malls.

Originally I'm from Auckland though.

I actually like Melbourne though I have never been to a 'Super city' (Tokyo, Beijing, Seoul, New York) etc. Low density suburban/town living sucks arse because there is no "atmosphere" or really anything to do ever. People just get in cars, go to shopping mall, get in car, go home. Every street aside form the shopping mall is just fucking deserted of life.

It's kind of the worst of country living (the isolation and nothing to fucking do) along with the worst of city living (fucking cars, soulless cramped shopping malls) with none of the benefits of either.

I feel you. Most areas of Auckland are like this. I mean, you have the CBD, but its not big.

Every suburb is outside of the CBD is basically like how you explain. The shore especially.

I liked Melbourne as well, it just kind of opened my eyes a bit. Made me kind of proud to be a kiwi tbqh, even in Auckland CBD people seemed more open and hospitable.

Oh and the hipster shit. I thought it was a meme. It is so overkill and ridiculous.

Yeah can't say I'm much of a fan of Victorians. Melbourne as a city is great, but I don't like the people or the culture that much.

It's funny though, when I went to NZ I was shocked at how rude most people got when they found out I was Australian. It seems like a lot of you lads think that there's this massive rivalry and mutual dislike between our countries, but no one here really cares about New Zealand.

Try New York City
>30% white
>800 languages
>run by a trump-hating, soft-on-crime jack off, bill de blasio
>petty crime relatively high in tourist spots, in many neighborhoods it's feels like Mogadishu
>subways are dirty as shit and full of a rude, diverse crowd where no one cares about each other at all(though sometimes aspiring rappers come on to promote themselves, which is pretty funny)
>buildings are dirty and kinda ugly
>unbelievably fast paced

That said, it's a good city. There's a bunch of tourist attractions(mostly in Midtown btw) and sights to see. If you ever go check out the view from the new World Trade Center, go to Times Square, Central Park, etc. Also stay the fuck out of the Bronx and the non-hipster parts of Brooklyn.

I think it depends on the generation and interests. I mean the more older blue collar/sports fans are 100% like this. They were like this with the lions tour too.

End of the day though, they are like this with every foreigner except their thai wifes.

Also, can some AUS person tell me, why do you guys have so many arabs? I knew you had lots of lebos, but there felt to be many arabs in general.

Kek, if you think Melbourne was bad in that regard wait till you see Sydney

It's mostly just lebos and in Melbourne and Sydney. We don't get any arabs at all in the other cities. I think they've been resettling Syrians recently, so that might account for some too, but I don't think there's that many of them at all.

Big cities are great. The people who say otherwise are sour grapes who can't compete with other humans, so they prefer to settle down with some cows and dogs in bumfuck nowhere.

The center/downtown and rich neighborhoods are the only livable places in most cities unless you live in East Asian cities where you don't worry about some chav/skinhead tier people or niggers/muzzies

worst thing in jew york that got to me was the contant honking in traffic. such a fucking nuisance.

Cities are like that. Expect that behavior everywhere with pop. past 500k
