I also found it interesting how some replies in there were related to the post from @kr that I mentioned above. For example:

Going to predict a lot of big cities appear in responses here. What a lot of people haven't worked out is that unless you're rich (i.e. your local purchasing power is multiples the destination you're travelling to), most cities are pretty miserable to experience as a tourist. They're designed for living in and for locals.
