I think that still leaves no 2
Crow's sound could be CAW but I can't see the rest

[mallyh]

I've been looking at brag and caw ,cor but nothing yet

[emeritus]

4 Seoul ?

The best I could come up with was Corby - but it is hardly a world city

Cor (sounds like caw) + by (sounds like be)
be in the sense that when you succeed - you arrive, you "be"

[emeritus]

Not a well known city but there is one in Argentina called

Corrientes ?

[bookbinder]

2. Things are getting desperate now, as is shown by my guess:
OTTERLO (Netherlands)
crows = OTT (over the top)
sound arrive = ERLO (sounds like hallo, what is said when a person arrives)

1: Auckland?
