I would love to live and work in Barcelona if only I could improved my spanish, it is one of my favorite 10 cities in the world. These are my favorite cities: - Munich - Vancouvre* - Sydney* - Singapore* - Barcelona - Glasgow - Reykjavik - Swakopmund - Punta del Este - Porto Princessa* * I've never been to 4 of these but dream a lot about them! What are your top 10 or 3 after Barcelona?

Why?: 1) Fantastic museums (Rosicrussian Egyptian Museum, Tech Museum of Innovation, Discovery Museum, Museum of Art, Museum of Textiles, NASA Ames Research, and a host of others). 2) Tremendous cultural diversity - San Jose is 24% Hispanic and 25% Asian. Almost every weekend there is some cultural or ethnic event. 3) I can travel 45 minutes south west and be on a gorgeous beach. Another 10 minutes and I can be scuba diving with otters or whale watching. 4) 30 minutes gets me to lush fern and redwood forests. 5) 45 minutes north or a quick commuter train get me to San Francisco with its own diverse offerings. 6) 3 hours east I can be hiking on top of a mountian or skiing down a slope. 7) The weather is temperate - not too hot, not too cold! I love traveling, but I always love coming home!
