What does Google think of your city?

Google has a variant of its search engine, that gives suggestion after you type a few words listing out the most popular search terms. You can find it as Google Suggest.

I tried, just for fun, a few cities and see what people where looking for in these cities. Here are a few results.

Starting with Kuwait:

Photobucket

Five air travel related sites, seems like a lot of people want to leave and / or come to Kuwait.

Photobucket

Riyadh has a lot of people looking for the latest news followed by banks and commerce.

Dubai

Dubai is really becoming a second home with people looking up properties and holidays there.

Baghdad

Baghdad is not very appealing with Baghdad burning one of the top searches, with green zone and curfew coming close.

Photobucket

Paris, well known as the City of Love, has got paris je t'aime as one of the most popular searches. Other results include museums and Paris by night.

San Francisco

San Francisco with silicon valley right next door, has its state university listed, and the public library also. Lots of smart people there.

Here are a few other search results, or try your own on Google Suggest to see what google thinks.
