> think, I would move if I had kids so that they would get to go to Churchlands SHS (public and artsy and awesome academically). ;)
I've been thinking way too much about future my-kids and schools lately. Heh. I would really love to find a place that wasn't full of bratty rich kids that also has a really strong academic and self-motivating focus, although it's not something I have to think about for at least another 10 years... *makes a note of Churchlands*

> Adelaide is pretty, and laidback (there is a bit of urban decay but it adds to the appeal for me). I didn't notice any issues with the tap water (I drank ALOT of it)
I've actually wanted to visit Adelaide for a long time now. It's only in the past two months that I've started to hear about its less savory side. Maybe it's just one of those strange "my state is better than your state" type deals. Tap water from Florida definitely had a different taste than tap water from Virginia, and I could never decide if it was worse or better, but it was certainly startling.

Every city has a dark side though! And if you look at the cities at the bottom of the list, and compare them with the top of the list... out of the bottom 10 the only one I've been to is Kathmandu, and it was filthy and full of lonely homeless children. People lived in shells of buildings and everyone walked around coughing (TB, anyone?) Theres' no comparison between that and the glistening wealthy cities on the top of the list.

Mmm, agreed.
