thought i'd bring my answer to your boards question here since i'll actualy give you a straight answer as opposed to being an asshat about it and ripping you up and down for 2 pages for whatever reason. feel good though... at least you've supplied the easily amused with hours of entertainment.
(side note: i've been here 4 years and never use the boards anymore... nothing but immature retards on there... it's pointless. fight here... squabble there... blah blah blah)
anyway, if you don't mind the cold i would go with toronto... to be entirely honest i've never been to SF, so i tend to be a bit biased on this particular subject, but anyway, i digress. TO has all your big city stuff... different parts of the city (downtown, "china town", artsie sections, etc)... it's a good mix of everything in my opinion. people are polite, friendly and not snarky or rude up there (well, too much). the city is also unusually clean. when i lived in syracuse, NY i went there almost every weekend. i've made tons of friends and i always have a good time. the schools are really good from what i understand, you should try joining the SGCanadaEast Group you could ask about grad schools and other things about the city. you would actually get decent answers in their.
oh, and there are plenty of lovely ladies available for partying with... straight, gay or bi.
Which Neruda poem would you get?
