      I would opt for London given the choice.

      Oh wait...

        I like that. I've been working on a project for the past while and although my hours are 9-5, I've been turning up when I can be arsed (within reason) - also depending on meetings and other people's requirements.

              Nope, completely different to each.

                So I've got the following choices:

                1) Toronto, Ontario, Canada (the office I'm in now)
                2) New York City, New York, USA
                3) Boston, Massachusetts, USA
                4) London, UK
                5) Seattle, WA

                Pitch me a city, gentlemen!
                As someone who lives in seattle I'd recommend NYC.

                NYC is everything seattle should be, but isnt and is more huge.

                sure seattle has teh gays, and we are laid back (or passive aggressive) but based on your personality here asher, youd either hate it here or go into machine politics and control things.

                SEattle is a nice place to raise a family but I wouldnt want to be here forever.

                  I'd like to see NYC, for a week.

                              The statistics presented are astounding.

                              I vote L.A. as more diverse than Toronto. I vote Dallas more diverse than Toronto, as far as that goes.
