Listicle of the Day: World's Friendliest/Unfriendliest Cities

We don’t seem to get tired of these.  From CNN: 

Friendliest?

Melbourne and Auckland jointly taking top honors in a new survey. … Conde Nast Traveler magazine’s annual Readers’ Choice Survey says it was “no surprise readers adore Melbourne,” calling it Australia’s “capital of cool.”  Aucklanders were praised by readers for their “humor” and a view on life that’s “something to aspire to attain.”

The unfriendliest has roots as a British colony too:

Johannesburg, South Africa, was named most unfriendly because, despite being “one of the most beautiful” cities, “safety still remains a serious concern” with one reader calling it “a city of crime and contrasts.”

Victoria, BC, is considered the third most friendliest – and we in Vancouver?  Don’t rate, apparently, either way.

  1. Good to see Victoria getting what’s due it! Too many people are unaware it’s a city just because it’s not as large as Vancouver.
