Spoken like a child who's momma never said no to him. And you're still in grade school? Now it all makes sense.

post #582 and the large photo of metro toronto are certainly worth noting. i've been to montreal on 3 occasions, loved the artichecture, especially the notre dame cathedral and the place known as fountain square, although the personal guide showing the four of our group was never seemingly certain, imo, and my french was learned as classical french over a period of 10 years, and i was for sure he didn't realize that we understood quite a good deal more french than he understood english. i think you learn so much just through life's experiences, that you just can't catch in the classroom---and we always earned a's. the dialect, the colloquiums, local customs, etc., put a spin on everything from language to food to dress. the same is true w/ how friendly the village and towns folk are in the regions, an e.g. british columbia, vancouver, regina and the province of Saskatchewan. vancouver people seem to be so w/drawn, while those in regina are more like those in the lower midwest and perhaps parts of of south, such as central kentucky.

i have been to toronto on about two occasions, until recently. the photo shown in this post is really pretty. the distance shots really show the apparent density of the city or at least the metro area, even if it is not all claimed as toronto. it is a big city, imo, though i hear some say otherwise. to me it is impressively clean and the architecture is really appealing to me. the needle is another interesting feature. i only had 5 days, and that was by pure accident. the time for sight-seeing was very limitied, due to the size of the city. to me, it reminds me of a canadian chicago, only bigger. nonetheless, it is a new place for a long visit, and it represents well for canada. people seem to rave about vancouver, which i think is very russian-looking, especially in many of the living tenant buildings. however, many tell me that montreal is a dive, but i don't see that at all. i guess it takes all kinds. again, enjoyed the photos. kingchef

I'm confused. post 582 only shows Detroit and none of Toronto, and I don't see any posts from last couple of pages showing the Toronto metro area. I don't see any showing outside the central part of the city.

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

In Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's largest metropolis, modern buildings surround a 19th-century mainstay. Saigon Notre-Dame Cathedral was built by French colonists—with materials imported from France—between 1863 and 1880.

It might not be the biggest but to me Pittsburgh has one of the most perfect skylines.

LYON - France

A skyscraper slightly taller than the tallest pointed one appearing in this picture is currently under construction, to the left of the chimney with the fume.

PARIS, exactly 3 weeks ago.


Paris Tour Eiffel - Antonio GAUDENCIO by Antonio GAUDENCIO - PHOTOGRAPHIE, on Flickr

And Paris again, 4 days ago, this time at dusk, from the Tuileries Gardens. Note that the zoom distorts perspective and makes distances
look smaller than what they really are. For an idea of the real size of the city, the distance between the wheel in the foreground of the
picture and the tallest skyscraper of La Défense (the pointed one with blue lights to the right of the Arc de Triomphe) is 5.8 km (3.6 miles),
which is the same distance as from Wall Street to Times Square in NYC, or from the Tower of London to Marble Arch/Hyde Park.
