The past three weeks my family and I have hosted my sister-in-law's cousin from Japan in our home. He is an 18 year old trendy Japanese boy and my sister and I were nervous about where to take and what to show him, and how to make it look cool. Last weekend we were making the trek, via my car, from Whyte ave to Downtown and my sister pointed out the Edmonton skyline (to Satoshi) and he noted that it was beautiful. My sister and I agreed. I felt proud that he was impressed with our city view. Looking at the city from a tourist perspective I think I would be impressed with this view as well as the view of our river valley which I drive everyday but very seldom enjoy the beauty of.

That's very interesting. I suppose it really depends on the perspective from which you're observing something. When I first came to Edmonton the airplane hovered above Edmonton for about 10 minutes. It was at around 4 PM, getting dark, the only visible things were the lights protruding above the snow and of course the river. I had never seen anything like it and I think it was at that moment that I developed this intense hate for the city which has taken until now to subside.
