How Veeky Forums is your city? Philly here, and it's lit senpai. Lots of parks, lots of history, lots of art...

Yeah. Too bad the rivers drying up. I used to hang out around there all the time, just bullshitting with friends.
My roommate actually worked as a river raft guide last summer, said it was a blast

+property tax
+whatever is left on the principal

yeah, the drought has been brutal

Santa Barbara, CA reporting in

This city is not Veeky Forums at all. Most of the time, it's brimming with dumber-than-rocks college students because of UCSB. It's so neoliberal and pretentious that I can't fucking walk anywhere without encountering 20 Bernie bumper stickers and overhearing some bullshit about Marxism. Everyone is afraid of offending and being exclusive from Muslims so there's always forced multiculturalisms. There are rats on State St (our main business street) and the price of your average lunch is $10.

The most illiterate thing I've heard was "university is not free because much invisible hand is keeping us down and doesn't want us to like Marx"

End me senpai

I never realized how much of a dirty shit hole Philadelphia was till I moved to Pittsburgh.

Go Prep

>neoliberal
>marxism
Clueless.

I'll never swim in Kern River again. it was there that I met her and there I lost my best friend.

glorious jane austen country checking in

is this where the Veeky Forumserary movement starts?

sent you an email

That's heavy.

Do they not have the same template and pecking order of social classes? Do they not operate solely on WHAT you are instead of WHO you are? If there's a clueless one it would be you

RIP!

...do you consider Powelton Village to be close to center city? I'm a 21M looking for roommates in that particular area. Yes, I do like getting mugged btw

I live in Austin, Texas. It's sort of tryhard Veeky Forums. We have a few literary journals published in the city, there are some really good bookstores, the writing groups I've connected with have been good, but the city seems like it hasn't taken a leap yet. I think we're waiting on the first truly great writer from Austin. I hope it's coming. Maybe it's me. We'll see.

newark is pure evil

Terry Malick is the Poet of Austin

not quite, but its close to Penn and I need a roommate. Post a throwaway email address and I'll message you?

Veeky Forums - (craig)li(s)t

Tokyoite, here. Pretty much Veeky Forums. Bunch of museums, many parks, many bookshops—I live in Jimbōchō, known for having hundreds of second-hand booksellers—and a comfy spot to crash for those who know the right places. Anyone living in Asia here?

Philadelphia checking in. Go temple.

Spent some time in Japan last year, would love to get back to live for a while. What do you do?

there are this many posters in philly? I thought like 20 people posted on here

Whoops, meant for

I'm in Philly too OP.

Advisory in asset management for a Big Four. I was working in Boston office but could move on thanks to an international exchange. Since I worked a few years with major Japanese clients (MUFJ/Mizuho/Nomura/SMBC Nikko) and have a good command of Japanese, the procedure was fairly quick.

Boston. Extremely Veeky Forums. I've fought a Harvard grad student at a Bolshevik-themed bar.

I know a super rich Japanese girl who lives in that neighborhood.
Boston is nice but expensive af.

Daytona Beach, FL. Interesting history, good public IB school with fairly good English program, no real college outside of military stuff, unique culture, shitty-slums 5 miles away from fairly vacant beautiful beaches, the best bookstore I've been to in the country.

Charlotte, NC also. Not Veeky Forums at all, very try-hardy, nothing unique, filled with young consultants that turned into yuppies after college.

I would add that, to work in Japan, you should speak Japanese on your own. As far as I know, a Japanese degree is pretty unless since every worker is expected to speak it in addition to his “real” background. Speaking English and Japanese is itself rather valuable. Most people here struggle with English, to the point even the front desk at a 4-stars hotel I were checking in in Nikko couldn't communicate. If you happen to know another language, whether French, Spanish or German, it's even more of an asset. Despite everything's expensive around here, you can have a quite comfortable life by saving up on luxuries. I spent 210,000 JPY for a decent one-room studio, purposely refused to take a leasing car and avoid going out more than two times a month. It leaves me with a lot of money to spend on books/travel.

The older part of Jimbōchō is incredibly expensive, indeed. I honestly don't understand people can live there since the same lot is basically half the price five minutes away.

Chico, CA
Meh. Has a public library, a state college library, a few used bookstores, and a Barnes and Noble.
Could be worse.

Neoliberals have nothing to do with Sanders or socialism.

I live in what has been consistently ranked as one of the most Veeky Forums cities/areas in the USA over the past decade. The measurement relied on basic metrics like libraries per capita, bookstores per capita, things like that. I'll let you try a guess if you like.

Iowa City.

NEXT

Nope, you're in the right part of the country though.

don't tell me you think Kansas City is Veeky Forums

Getting colder.

You could actually figure this out if you were to search the described concept online.

Ann Arbor?

You're not any warmer, but not any colder, either.

this is what i got from google

In terms of the long-term study I'm referring to, you're much closer.

But that city ain't it. If you start triangulating (re-reading what I've said so far) and keep digging, you'll get it.

Guangzhou, China here. It's like Hong Kong but poorer. Some pretty rad cultural stuff even if you can't read Chinese and the beer is very cheap.

Is there still a Portuguese scene?

i really don't give anywhere near enough shits to do that

At this point if it's not Missoula idk what you're on about user
