I seen this in another forum, and it had over one thousand posts replied! Thought it might be cool to see where everyone lives.
This is Brisbane. It has a great climate and is probably a mix of New Orleans and San Fransico. Its a pretty cultured joint (which I don\'t like - lotsa arty farty types if you know what I mean...)

See?
Mind you, that picture was taken about 12 months after the the IRA bombing of the city centre in 1996 (I happened to be in the city centre that day, and caught the bus home about 20 minutes BEFORE the bomb went off, if I hadn\'t got on that bus, I would have been caught up in the blast, scary thought there).

Here you have a pic of my little village: Baños de la Encina, in the province of Jaen, southern Spain. The castle you can see in the picture is the oldest in Spain (built in 967) and one of the best conserved of Europe. Only two monuments have the European Flag: A monument of Italy (I don\'t remember exactly what\'s) and our arabic castle.

3com park is ugly and that pic is NOT of just the bridge. There\'s a whole damn city in the background in case you missed it. Besides that, pac bell park puts 3com to shame. :)

I know I was just being a stupid football fan. Frisco is very nice. Sadly I\'ve never even been there being primarily an east side guy. I\'m wanna buy some Niner tickets though.

Askmen.com has a guide (http://www.askmen.com/fashion/travel/46_travel_tips.html) on Copenhagen - it\'s a great read. Here are some examples:
When listing the most beautiful cities on Earth, it\'s impossible to overlook the Danish capital of Copenhagen. The streets are lined by timeless architecture both modern and classic, and the same streets are filled with scores of the most beautiful women on the continent.
Copenhagen contains some of the best 18th century and 19th century architecture in Europe. The waterfront properties with their multicolored facades are some of the most picturesque scenes in all of Europe.
Copenhagen is a paradise. Bars generally have their last call at 5:00am, and clubs are filled with the most beautiful women in Europe.
Contained completely within the Copenhagen city limits is a small place called Christiania, where certain narcotics are legally sold (and consumed) in the open.
There are tons of trendy and wonderful shops throughout the city, and the fact that every man, woman and child seems tall, blonde and blue-eyed makes the city feel like one giant backstage pass to a fashion show.
:D

I live 4km outside of Kalmar.
But its nothing to see.. Just some small houses. It belongs to Kalmar anyways. :)
(I was going to show you a air photo of my town but thanks to Microsoft I cant visit the page because MS no longer supports Java Runtime.. If you want to check it out here are some instructions.
Go to http://www.lantmateriet.se then press where it says "SverigeBilden" and when it has loaded write "Rinkabyholm" under Sök (which means Search), somewhere there you can see my house :)"
If you ask me which is the most beautiful city in the world I would say Stockholm :) (apart from the very arrogant people who live there, excluding my sister ;))
Stockholm (750 years old this year. Probably founded by Kung Birger Jarl in cirka 1250)

Racer, I think you\'ll like Oakland. Like SF is THE city, but if you want city life but just a little less than SF but more than suburbia then Oakland would be the place. I don\'t go there too often. Jack London Square\'s got some pretty cool things happening there. Events and stores that you wouldn\'t normally find. I was there for some art festival, a dragon boat race, street fair. And only a half hour\'s traffic from SF! =P
