London or to stay in Rio, Iwould choose Rio, though Ithink London is awesome, too.

y On the other hand, the ideaof moving to another citylike London really motivatesme. London is such a nicecity! I was there for the firsttime on my last vacationand I simply fell in love withthe place. It seemed safer,cleaner , had more culturalattractions, among other stuffs. But, Rio is warmer than London even in Winter and I hate cold weather.
