To find out how this conversation started in the first place, we reached out to the Reddit user who started this thread, Chaulmoog. They were kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda and answer a few of our questions.
"I created the post because I recently returned from seeing my brother in a much larger city," the author shared. "It was an 11-hour drive to get there, and I saw a lot of cities and towns and wondered what it would be like to visit them. I was curious about what other people experienced visiting cool cities."

We also asked the author about the most interesting city they've visited. "The coolest city I've been to was Galway, Ireland," Chaulmoog says. "I went there around 7 years ago. It was cool being somewhere with so much history, and everything there just looked cool. I was impressed by how clean everything looked. The tour guide we had kept hyping it up, so I was pretty excited to go there."

For North American cities I’d say Mexico City San Diego & Chicago.

Then you go to Osaka, night and day. People talk to you, you engage in conversations you would not get the chance to in Tokyo, and it’s like an explosion of culture right in your face. Takoyaki stalls, 15+ story malls you could spend all day in and not see everything, the best Sushi you will ever eat, best drinking culture ever. Osaka never stops giving.
Finally, we asked the author what they thought of the responses to their post. "I got a lot more replies than I was expecting, and I still need to go through them all. But I would like to take the time to read about every place they mentioned," they told Bored Panda. "Sometimes I like to think about what life is like for other people and other places. [And] I'd like to be able to visit those places."

Otherwise no city is "cool" but there are cool areas in most cities, you just have to know where you look, and your taste could be different.

Also the food, the people, art and culture… I felt like I belonged there. First time I’d fallen in love (like for real) with a place. I’m really considering moving there.

Vancouver is stunning, Barcelona is the most awesome place to just walk around, Prague's old town is beautiful, Mexico City has the most amazing food culture.
