Cape Town
If you see that little green man on the traffic light, which we call robots, DO NOT assume that it is safe to cross the road, as most Capetonian drivers do not abide by pedestrian right-of-way laws. This works both ways, so you won't get arrested if you cross the road if the robot is displaying the little red man.
DublinIf while walking through the City centre you meet a Genuine Irish Dubliner, you should grab his arm, jump up and down, and shout "I've found one i've found one!!" in a proud and happy voice. Do not worry if you get easily embarrassed jumping up and down while shouting in a busy street, as the likelyhood of this happening is very rare. Polish, Latvians, Czechs, Nigerians, Chinese, or South Africans with a Dublin accent do not count.

Toronto - Not to be confused with Mississauga, Scarborough, Etobicoke, Brampton, Rexdale, Markham or any other dull, drab urban sprawl centre that pretends to part of our city. Toronto is full of music snobs, art fags, cultural hubs and socially progressive academics. The other places are full of trash.
Jefferson: If you enter town from the north, east, or west, the population is listed as 7000 (approximately). However, if you enter from the south, the population on the welcome sign is listed as 6000. Somewhere there are a thousand people wandering around trying to figure out whether or not they live here.
Oak Park, IL:
Many know this to be the birthplace and childhood home of Ernest Hemingway, as well as where Frank Lloyd Wright lived and worked. Lesser known is the fact that Edgar Rice Burroughs also lived here from 1914-1919. From 1914-1917, he lived in a small, nondescript house at 414 Augusta, and that's where he wrote the lion's share of his Tarzan novels.
That house, now somewhat shabby, is still occupied by a regular ol' family, and a tiny crumbling footstone half-buried at the corner of the driveway informs the accidental passerby that the man who brought us the Lord of the Apes once lived and worked there.

Stoke On Trent - Once voted the worst place to live in UK - however, you can walk into any bar and find someone who will chat to you - just make sure you find out which local football team they support or you could find a bar stool wrapped around your head!!!
