Message: [QUOTE="WASSHHH, post: 2980493, member: 9424"] I’ve spent time in all the places you’ve listed except Cape Town. I’ve also spent time in a lot of Europe. To answer your question, it really depends what stage of life you’re in and what you’re after. Thing is, most meat headed footballers don’t want culture, history and architecture or somewhere to settle down and start a family. Most are young blokes with not much between their ears that simply want girls, money, partying and fun. The Sydney night life used to leave Brisbane for dead, but lock-out laws have essentially turned it into a ghost-town past midnight. Further to that, I do believe we are starting to see a large shift towards players starting families at a much younger age, which tends to make them mature much quicker and grounds them. Brisbane is perfect for this, it’s essentially just a really big town. On another topic; I can’t see how you would rate Sydney your favourite city but don’t like some of the truly international cities. Sydney CBD is plain awful (reminds me of what Stones Corner was like about 10 years ago, just with tall buildings), Bondi is the beach version of Times Square and the harbour is one giant cesspool. Sure, like any city, there’s some beautiful suburbs, but in general, it’s just a more crowded, harder to get around, exorbitantly overpriced version of Brisbane with a harbour instead of a river. Different strokes for different folks though I suppose. EDIT: I think my gripe with Sydney is that it has no unique identity. Brisbane knows what it is and what it isn’t. Melbourne likewise and it really does have its own identity (granted, some people love it, others hate it). But Sydney just seems to want to be everything and in doing so, really seems like nothing. Also, Brisbane has far, far less wankers than Sydney. I mean, Alan Jones moved there from Queensland... [/QUOTE]
