I travel for work all the time..
... luckily I never have to visit the worst one of all - London. I've travelled to some awesome places with my work. I loved Kiev, Singapore, Melbourne and Adelaide, didn't like Paris (apart from the 'naked boss rant' adventure) or Frankfurt.
Most other places I like, I suppose I'm a xenophile.

Both Grannies are long dead.

Jeremy Hunt shouldn't resign. As a member of both the conservative party and the cabinet he should be executed over a period of weeks with the inventive use of power tools and corrosive liquids.

Kiev is a great place.
Although I didn't see chicken on the menu in any of the restaurants.

I did!
In the Hotel Rus (the older one) on the hill overlooking the city. It was great!
One of the best things about my stays in Kiev was that I was staying in the new Hotel Rus and my room had a good view of the Dynamo Kiev football ground. I'm not a football supporter myself but I had many guests on the nights they were playing, all of whom brought vodka and food with them. Happy days.

I travelled a lot when I worked for Coca-Cola.
When I was visiting somewhere I hadn't been before I would often create time in my diary to have an extra day there to have a look around.

Best one was Moscow - got an english speaking tour guide from the hotel. She was a history teacher so I learned & saw a lot in a short space of time. One of my favourite cities.

I've never been to Moscow
It's one of the cities on my 'must go' list. My company had a stand at the recent building show in Moscow and I was hoping to go but I wasn't asked as I speak no Russian!
Never mind - I'll get there someday.

Everyone should visit: Moscow, Rome, Paris, Hong Kong, Kiev, Prague, Edinburgh, Istanbul, Tel Aviv, Kathmandu, New York, Berlin and Bilbao at least once in their lives. Perhaps not on the same trip though.

Good list!
Hong Kong, Kathmandu, Moscow and Istanbul are on 'the list'. Never fancied Tel Aviv or New York. The rest I've been to.
I would recommend Barcelona, Cologne, Tunis and Singapore (GOD I loved Singapore!).

I like Barcelona but it is very touristy.
Avoid: Bucharest, Madrid, Kyoto, Copenhagen (dull), Naples, Atlanta and Marbella.

Everyone should visit Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon)
Amazing, vibrant place. The food is superb, varied and incredibly cheap. Take suntan lotion.

I would love to go to Vietnam.

Can't recommend it enough
Although you do basically have to choose North or South, the distance between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh is sufficient to make doing both effectively the same as visiting two countries

I went when I was 19.
Didn't really know what was going on.

You suffering from PTSD explains a great deal.
