  • Boston, the best city i visited on my tour of the states. Everyone kept telling me "go to new york, go to new york", but when i did, i wished i was back in Boston. I tell you this for free, the people of Boston are unrivalled when it comes to friendliness. And as a liverpool fan, we now share a bond across the pond.
