    A city in motion rising from a landscape riddled with klongs. These tiny canals teem with local boats. It's ironic then that Bangkok is a street oriented city. Traffic is impossibly dense: cars, boats, overcrowded streets. Here, life seems like an endless race, but beneath the culture of chaos, this Buddhist city possesess a deep and permanent respect for well-being.

    The Portenos have seen it all. The glamour of wealth and opulence, the chokehold of dictatorship, the uneasiness of economic instability. Perhaps that ex- plains their wit and their wisdom. In the Paris of the Americas, the people are masters at living life to the fullest.

    More than 80 languages can be heard in the streets of Melbourne. In this young melting pot, the Vietnamese, Greeks and Italians are the most populous outside of their own countries. It is the cultural and sports capital of Australia, and it was voted best place on Earth to live for three years in a row by the Economist.

    Oil and spaceships! Houston has been defined by NASA and petroleum, and has a reputation for its cowboy ways. But this is a surprisingly liberal city; a cultural hub with 60% of its population originating from Mexico, Asia and Africa. And what better than a day with Astronaut Chris Hadfield to fully grasp the riches of Houston.

    Reykjavik, the bay of smoke, got its name from the countless hot water geysers that dominate its landscape. The only large city of Iceland, its 200,000 inhabitants make up two thirds of the country's population. Far from the prickliness of their Viking ancestors, locals are so friendly that they're on a first name basis with everyone... even their president!

    Originator of the trend and the counter-trend, home of the beat generation and gay rights, San Francisco's current fascination is with living a greener, simpler life. It was here, in the city of sloped streets, that Twitter, Wikipedia and Craigslist were founded. Today, this one-of-a-kind city is still changing the world, but this time through the magic of social media.

    Lively, dirty, bright, vibrant. A city of contradictions, laid back but demanding, warm but rude, it provokes those who visit and protects those who live it. In the oldest city in France everything and its opposite co-exist.
