Mean streets

I never put much stock in travel surveys like "the world's unfriendliest cities," and the recent one that came across my desk (OK, arrived in my inbox) is a perfect example why.

It was done by TripAdvisor and titled "the most unfriendly hosts." Apparently the 1,400 world travelers queried rated Paris #1, London #2, and Moscow #3.

At the same time, London came in at #3 for "most friendly and helpful locals." You tell me.

Seriously, what do you think are the unfriendliest cities? After I get yours I'll give you mine. We can do a survey as unreliable as anyone's.
