Just curious on how large the city you're living in is... is it large, or just a small town? And do you like it? And what size of city would you prefer to live in?
I live in Sønderborg... a small city with about 20,000 inhabitants I believe... Personally I don't like it... it's way too small to have some real variety (Basicly this city only got a few shops, none who knows much about computers, and tons of bars, etc... and I don't like partying, so it's not my thing), but it's still too big to have some "peace" (Where you can do whatever you want to do, without neighbors complaining... )
If I were to chose the city I'd like to live in, it would be one of these:
1) A small town (approx 200-300 inhabitants), which gives enough room for me to "breathe"
2) A large city (Size ala L.A.) where there's more possibilities

Las Vegas, Nevada
Feb 2000
time: 21:32

I believe there are 1.5 million people living in the Las Vegas valley.
It actualy consists of 3 cities (Henderson, Las Vegas, N. Las Vegas), and unincorporated county suburbs (like paridise, spring valley, summerlin, anthem). It is pretty much wall to wall city with no breaks now. This is good in way as we don't have the suburban sprawl that cities like Atlanta has. But we still have very bad smog because we are in a valley.
It is a city that consists of a downtown district full of casinos and a light show that shows graphics outside in the street. And a "strip" of sorts with long lines of casinos and mega-resorts. There are smaller local casinos scattered about town. Many on Boulder Highway (the old way of leaving town towards Arizona) and a few on Rancho (the old way of leaving town towards Reno)
We have at least 1 bar on every corner. And we also have 1 smoke shop on every corner where you can buy drug paraphanalia. You will also find a gas station/convenience store on every corner.
We have strip malls galore, and shopping centers galore. We have massive amounts of money in this city, and people who are willing to part with it.
Smoking and drinking are very popular where I live. And drunk drivers are common (I see one every day). Cigarrette smoke is everywhere.
As for the size of the city I like to live in. Well I like living in Las Vegas. But las Vegas circa 1982. The city is very large, and very Californian now (things like oxygen bars and other yuppie establishments). I like a town around a few hundred thousand people at most. Big enough for things to do, but no so big you can't easily escape the city.

I live where the river wey joins the thames. Close enough to London (30 mins by train), but far enough out that the surrey countryside is short bicycle ride away. The river wey was cut into a canal in the 15-16th century. The towpath serves as a perfect cyclists highway, unbroken to guildford (2 hours by bicycle). The ride runs through the countryside with plenty of oppourtunitys to explore. I can dissappear into the surrey hills, or down the basingstoke or arun canal.
The Thames has had heavy investment in its towpaths, and run for 180 miles. I can cycle into London past Hampton court palace, or upstream past Windsor and Oxford (should I ever make it that far!)
Theres enough bar nightlife here to keep me enterained, but any big night just has to be in London, its so close.

An image just came to my mind of Space and his dad getting ready to go hunting.
*Dad...what are those mags in the bottom of your hunting locker*
*Oh...they're nothing son. You don't wanna look at those. In fact..don't ever, ever look at any of those mags*
*Uh....OK, dad*
And dad was actually sure that Space would never look at the mags. Little did he know

he never opened the bottom part of his gun cabinet when we were getting ready to go out hunting. When I got older though he said he knew I used to go look at them, he even offered to give some to me. I always thought moms were the only people with that power, knowing that a kid is doing something they shouldn't that is.

No bars, no strip clubs...nothing "ungodly". This town is boring.

Anywho, we were up here for about a month and Jim said he knew of a game I might be intrested in, and he said it goes by the name "Civilization". 
. Damned buses.
