jambo89 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I felt Sydney was quite an unfriendly place tbh. But of course Glasgow is the friendliest so anything that contradicts this will not be given airtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSTR Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Oh I don't know, Scottish capital in top 15 friendliest cities in the world list. Good news no? Not really newsworthy, just somebodies opinion. In other news - "BarasaMad.com votes Dumfries as the cleanest medium sized town in Southern Scotland." Edit: I realise how much of a dick that made me sound, I'm not denying it's good news/publicity etc. but it isn't newsworthy IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CollyWolly Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I felt Sydney was quite an unfriendly place tbh. But of course Glasgow is the friendliest so anything that contradicts this will not be given airtime. I got drugged and robbed in Sydney whilst travelling. So far that has never happened to me in Glasgow or Edinburgh.just sayin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter_hmfc Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Edinburgh is the 9th friendliest city in the whole word? What other cities were deemed friendlier? A Syrian war ground and Tijuana, Mexico? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FWJ Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Edinburgh is friendly. No in an in-your-face we're best mates forever style, but quietly and understated. A 'good-morning' passing in the street or in a lift, a 'thank you' to bus drivers etc. It's just that Edinburgh doesn't make such a big deal about being civil and pleasant as other places. (I've always found Parisians to be friendly too. Maybe it's because I don't talk very loudly in english at them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locky Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I like how each city has some wee interesting fact or review whereas Edinburgh gets **** all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maple Leaf Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 That's just one guy's opinion. In the entire world, three of the top four friendliest cities are in Ireland ... according to an Irishman. Aye, OK then. And Asheville, North Carolina! Where? Is that even a city?

Daydream Believer Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Edinburgh is friendly. No in an in-your-face we're best mates forever style, but quietly and understated.

(I've always found Parisians to be friendly too. Maybe it's because I don't talk very loudly in english at them) I agree with that. Some places like Glasgow and Liverpool are aggressively friendly. Others like Edinburgh and Cambridge are a gentle type of friendly. All 4 are quite friendly but if you are a tourist, then the gentle friendly probably seems more pleasant.
