OVERSEAS CITIES
We asked you to rate your favourite overseas city according to 10 criteria, and while you think Cape Town offers the best value for money (98) and New York can't be bettered for nightlife/entertainment (93.04), Barcelona scored consistently well in all criteria, notably for culture, aesthetics/architecture and range of accommodation, while failing to gain top marks in any one. Prague and Florence were joint winners in the beauty contest (with a picture-perfect 99.57 for aesthetics/architecture), Singapore came up trumps for both user-friendliness (98.57) and safety (93.75), and Malaysia's Kuala Lumpur has the best range of accommodation (98.57) and food/restaurants (95.71). And where is the cleanest city in the world? Well, you insist it's Stockholm: you gave the Swedish capital a sparkling 98.18 out of a possible 100!
