If you were a city what city would you be?
I would be Sydney...because I have a Harbor Bridge of confidence and trust that you can rely on...because I have an Opera House of songs and performances of joy just for you...because I have a Centerpoint Tower of hope and courage in whatever I face...because I have The Blue Mountains of tears and memories of all I have gone through...because I have The Aquarium of different beautiful friends who swim with me...because I have The Royal Botanical Gardens of fragrant and colorful reminiscence that I may pass on to you...because I have The IMAX Theatre of entertainment and excitement in me...because I have the Bondi Beach of beauty and calm to soothe you...because I have The Rocks of true and solid friendship and love to offer you...
Tell me what city are you..

daz a gr8 way to describe it...though i'd haf to think...will get back to ya wit it :)
city? id definitely pick Bombay, cuz well u know thats one place I can get lost in. But im not sure i should say that. Hardly been newhere else
I would be in Venice and put my feet up the bench and relax in "Piazza San Marco", also known as the drawing room of the world...It has my favorite quiet and peaceful BASILICA as legend states, an angel came here and said " Pax tibi Marce" i.e "Peace to You".
The four horses of Saint Marco's that take you back to the marvelous, romantic and omni life of Bonaparte n' Josephine....I love the high waters in automn and winter when i see the FRUTTAROL'S (fruit sellers) in boats outta my window...The bridge of Sigh as I pass through it and see the beautiful sight of lagoon n' the island of Saint Georgio...
The streets in Vanice that generally have ancient and above all curious names reflecting different work like "Pastrin" which means MILKMAN or "Pistor" ie Baker or "FRUTTAROL" that is Fruit Seller
Oh, how I adore the romantic Venice..

My comment was turning out too long, so I decided to post more details on my blog. Check my answer HERE
ON BEHALF OF DEWDY:
The city of lights – Paris.
Commenting on Keshi’s recent post, I decided to write up about the French city which bewitched me to no end.
No other city in Europe can match Paris' charm, glamour, beauty, and romanticism. The city is enriched with beautiful art, gothic monuments, ornate sculptures, mighty museums, sweeping avenues, grand esplanades, exquisite architecture and so much more that you have to actually be there to experience it.
Ever since I took up French as the third language in school, I wanted to visit Paris. The people in the textbook (the Vincent family), the places mentioned in it, the quaint black & white illustrations contained in it... all conjured up vivid images of a beautiful city full of enchanting sights to see.
And last year, I lived my dream when I visited Paris.
Paris is undoubtedly the city to fall in love with. It has lots to offer. Here are highlights of a few attractions that entranced me.
Place de la Concorde, the largest and the loveliest of the Parisian squares. For Paris’ streets which boasts buildings whose detailing shows the pride and care permeating Paris's architecture.
The majestic Arc de Triomph monument devoted to Napoleon's and his generals' greatest victories. Also called the city’s heart it provides a constant reminder of Paris' religious and royal past.
The Champs Elysees, arguably the most well known avenue in the world.
The magnificent Operas where performance meets symphonies in the most glamorous styles.
The mighty Louvre museum presents its treassures of best paintings, sculptures, antiques and arts. Lets not forget the famous masterpieces: the Venus of Milo, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, the Mona Lisa of Leonard da Vinci, and so many others.
The gigantic Palace of Versailles which is said to be capable of housing 20,000 people at a time.
The Tuileries Gardens, Louvre Palace's gardens, one of the best places in Paris for a sunbath.
The overwhelming Notre Dame Cathedral and the famous Sacré-Coeur church.
A magical stroll and a cruise on the river Seine where even artists like Sisley, Turner, and Monet have been spell bounded.
The incomparable Eiffel Tower from where a bird's eye view will leave you breathless. The experience of touring the tower to its topmost floor is spectacular.
The variety of gastronomic options for every palate and pocket with thousands of cafés, bars and restaurants lined up at every Parisian street and boulevard.
The delight of shopping around place St-Germain-des-Prés for your favorite perfumes, cosmetics, accessories, books, antiques, gorgeous garments, artworks and souvenirs.
The magical visions of Paris at dusk as it turns into the City of Lights is truly a captivating dream to cherish forever.

My comments on London :)-> talldarkman
Londoners are a quite humorous and hospitable folk. If at all we see anywhere the fruits of capitalism trickling down, we witness it in abundance here. My brother’s barber, I was told, drives a BMW. An electrician who came in to fit his dish antenna, owns a villa in Spain, which he rents out when he is not living there.
The property prices have sky rocketed to such an extent, that Londoners purchase expensive houses, furnish them and go about finding a person to live in them, while they themselves dwell in modest habitats. And I was left wondering as to why these prices might have soared?
Well, one of the likely answers I stumbled upon, was when I was on a tour of London, atop a double decker bus, with it’s top sawed off. And it made quite a pretty sight. There was this guide, guiding us through the city, hollering at the top of a bus, telling us that the authorities claim their pound (5 pounds to be precise), when they let the buses through to ply on the London roads. She showed us a property owned by a lady. Now, we have this very old lady, living in a fabulously large house, bang in the middle of London, with acres of garden around her. She uses some of the rooms to store a lot of old priceless paintings. Probably she has this property handed down to her through generations. Must be quite a few years since it was purchased. Wonder why she does not invite anyone to live in it. The mortgage, if at all, must be killing her.
There is this another gentleman who has his house nearby, quite a large one, and also a large garden around it, who has not had to sell any of his land so far, and he charges upto a thousand pounds in rent per minute, for any business wanting to occupy his premises. With so much of land being cornered by so little folk, there is no wonder the prices hit the sky.
Another curious aspect of the city is it’s taxis. I had always thought that the taxis in Mumbai must be the oldest ever. But I found taxis in London even older than Mumbai. Probably these must be the first automobiles ever built. This obsession of Londoners, to preserve the old, has gone to too much of an extreme. We still have people here who use horses as their means of transport, and they still donn the same old dresses. But I guess we see them only at a predetermined hour.
The architecture too is weird. The windows closest to the ground are large, and they grow scantier in size, and more in number as the house approaches the sky. And it’s not because the houses are tall. Not many of the houses I have seen are more than three storeys high. I have been unable to fathom the reason for this. Perhaps the masons lost interest, or grew plain lazy as they neared completion.
We have another square (Trafalgar is it?), where there is this gentleman who has been elevated to so great a height, Lord Nelson I presume, that common folk cannot lay their sights on him. I was told he won some battle, and was honoured in this fashion by Londoners. Some four lions sit patiently down there, staring in all four directions. But I am pretty sure he is not going to climb down. Then there is this statue of another person, who is sitting on a horse and riding in the direction of his death. I wonder if he knew what awaited him. He was beheaded at the end of the road, I was told. Riding away to his destiny, eh?
Then again, we have bridges that are split in half, which open up when a ship wants to pass through. It was perhaps sliced in half as some ship, with a high mast, passed through. So they built another one between the towers above this bridge, and retained the original one as a folding one. Some curious cigar shaped buildings dot the London sky, owned by a Swiss firm who’s into insurance, looks like a missile wanting to take off. They could probably have an ad, showing their building, with a subtitle “waiting to take off”. (I wonder if I will get any commission out of this, if and when implemented. The London entrepreneurship is biting me). We have another large wheel, something similar to a giant wheel, which turns too slowly, and we are allowed only one round in it, sitting, rather standing, right besides that famous river, The Thames.
These people are so stubborn, that they have not allowed even Americans to own their own embassy. It belongs to the Crown, they say. And the Queen needs an invitation to get into the city of London. Strange, I say, what?
But overall, I have not seen so green a city as London. The quaint little houses, never more than three stories tall. No iron grills on windows. Well laid out roads, footpaths on all roads, disciplined traffic. Clean toilets, and public transport buses. Well documented underground, well stocked superstores, uninterrupted electricity. Hmmm, London sure is good. . Perhaps they need to work on M25 to make the average London motorist, a harried human, a happier lot.
