San Fran--one of if not the best city I have ever been to, and I have been to London. Only my opinion, but London is over priced and over rated. I would much rather go to Dublin again.
Back in the early 2000s, I was in San Francisco watching Giants baseball in October. It was cold. I went for a walk in one of the areas (can't recall it) and saw a homeless man under a blanket. I went to the Starbucks on the corner and bought a large (or whatever it's called) hot chocolate. Went back out and tapped the guy on the shoulder, offering him the hot chocolate. He smiled, said "thank you," and suddenly out popped the head of a female from the blanket. Everyone seemed happy, so I just gave him the drink and without really knowing what to said, just told him, "Well, after you're done, this is for you man."
True story, and my own special moment in San Francisco.

Just to be clear, the point of my post was NOT to say, "Hey I bought this guy some hot chocolate," rather, it was my surprise that I thought he might be miserable under the blankets, in the cold, and yes, while I was trying to do a good thing, it was just funny to me that all along the guy seemed quite pleased that he was having sex and now had a hot chocolate for him afterwards. It was a win-win-win for all!

In San Francisco, it was a female who popped out from under the blanket?

London might seem overpriced, but actually isn't (at least if you follow the list of the world's most expensive cities in which it just creeps into 10th spot). If you know what you are doing in London, it can actually be quite cheap. I think what makes it seem expensive is the exchange rate. And it certainly isn't overrated, not by a long shot. Dublin is a nice place but, unfortunately, is full of the Irish so I avoid it as much as I can.

And of all the weird luck, Toronto and Montreal appear to be more expensive than London, England!

Yep, that latest version of the list was the one I was referring to above.
