I saw this on Facebook the other day (from Liverpool), I can imagine you'd get along with these girls.

I remember my London UK co-worker returning from a 4 week long Canada trip. When she returned to work I asked her how her vacation went. She just stared at me and barked out: 'What on earth are you doing here? If I lived in that beautiful country, I'd never leave!' She's traveled all over the world and said Canada and Thailand were easily the most beautiful places she'd ever seen and she didn't even make it out West. Don't get so easily mesmerized by shiny baubles.

I'm getting really tired of people here taking for granted what they have. Why is it always immigrants that need to point these things out to Canadian born?

"don't you get distracted by them fancy castles, boy! those castles are just baubles and shine! did not the LORD say babylon the great shall perish? and where is she now but in the foul, foul soil of ages?

you, my boy, are a member of the finest and the truest, the newest and the greatest net recipient of immigrants as a percentage of its total population, plus also when you consider inflow and outflow as comparable statistical categories.

babylon the great is fallen and not the light of a single lamp remains!

you are A CANADIAN, my boy,

and don't you forget it!"

Liverpudlians are absolutely amazing. It has to be one of the only cities not in the former Yugoslavia or Soviet Union where the vast majority of people put great effort into keeping up appearances. It's the most accessible, vain city for someone like me.

I'd hate for us to go as far as the Liverpudlians - with tan injections, plastic surgery, etc. being over-the-counter ease. Although, my hiking partner is out of commission for the next 8 weeks after getting breast implants - so it does happen everywhere, I suppose. But she's been wearing a padded bra for years and only got them about that size - so no one will really notice.

Slightly elevated standards while out in public would be nice. Thank God for Water Street and George Street here... it keeps me sane. I just love beautiful surroundings too much. It's part of why I came home. And people are part of that.

Lovely doc on Liverpool's style from VICE:

I could explore aerials all day.

Just gorgeous.

My favourite of here:

This one focuses primarily on my neighbourhood, Rabbittown, which wraps around the top of the first hill of St. John's and extends about a block or two downhill on either side of it.

A couple of the blocks in Rabbittown have vaguely rectangular shapes. Among the only ones in the city.

http://www.reddit.com/r/winterporn/c..._snow_960x540/

If you take the harbour as a U-shape and swing around from left to right, this is the order:

Signal Hill, The Battery, Old East End (this is the touristy part, that mess of colourful buildings between The Rooms and Signal Hill), Ecclesiastical District, Rabbittown, Downtown East End, Central, Downtown West End, and then it wraps around to the Southside Hills.

Everything pictured here is within Old St. John's. Empire Avenue (the ring road in '49) is only about the length of one of those long, rectangular Rabbittown blocks in the lower left away, just off camera to the left.

And Old Town extends probably about the same distance as what's pictured off camera to the right, but the Old West End is almost entirely residential so it's not quite the same and not considered to be part of the Downtown the way the Old East End is.
