Walking along the last remaining piece of the Berlin Wall on Friday, I was a little disturbed by this billboard advertising Die Welt city guides. I had to take a picture of it.
It says: “Visit the 12 most beautiful cities in the world.”
It lists them:
- Barcelona
- Berlin
- Rome
- Paris
- Amsterdam
- Munich
- Venice
- London
- Hamburg
- New York
- Vienna
- Milan
I realize it’s just stupid ad for city guides, but I found it a little odd that: A) All, but one of the most beautiful cities (New York) are supposed to be in Europe, and B) Four of these cities are German-speaking; three are in Germany. Call me overly sensitive, but that’s a cocky statement if I have ever seen one.
What about Sydney, Cape Town, San Francisco, or Hong Kong, to name a few?
