    Did you live in the city or outside?
    I lived near the Museumplein. Just a really relaxed atmosphere, good transport links within the city and externally.

    The Dutch are really friendly and you can walk/cycle just about anywhere in the city, never felt threatened and if you stay away from the Stag Party areas it's fantastic (of course when you have visitors they have a tour of the RL district etc).

            How long did you live there? Given chance would you move there permanantly?

              A Year; possibly but I'm more tempted to look into buying a weekend flat or similar in the future. I don't think soon to be Mrs Advocate would approve of a full relocation!

                There is no comparison, Sydney is my No 1, Melbourne or Brisbane wouldn't make my top 20.

                    Any poll that does not include Budapest, Prague or both is not that good IMHO.
                    Also Dusseldorf and Stockholm.

                      Step away from the crack pipe, it's doing you no good at all!!!

                      I love Rome myself, but not that much and come on, Leeds would have trouble fighting off 1st place in almost everyones top ten biggest dumps (any of the meanings of the word dump).
