You havn't seen Alberta until you've seen the mountains. From a high view of Lake Lousie, backcountry heli-skiing around the serene moutnains of banf, or standing on the highest peak in sight looking DOWN on the clouds, to the southern mountains of Waterton Park where the flattest of plains and praries meet massive, snow-covered rocky mountains without so much as a single foothill, aptly named "Where the prarie meets the mountains".

Been there. I'll try to see if I can attach the pics. Lake Louise is a excellent piece of nature to walk and I recommend it to everyone. Especially if you take the trail of the 6 glaciers => excellent !

and banf rocks! good skiing there ;D

I assume you mean Banf in Canada, I've been there as well. If it is the same, I like lake Louise more. And if you like skiing, try Kickinghorse mountain. It's next to a place called Golden and is a 2.5 - 3 hour drive from Banf.

Why Slovakia hasn't regions? We have eight named "VUC" (vyssi uzemny celok, higher region): Bratislava, Trnava, Nitra, Trencin (on west), Zilina, Banska Bystrica (middle), Presov and Kosice (east). Oh my God, we have a big country, there must be some orientation! There is a big difference between i.e.Bratislavians and eastern ;D

If you visit one site in Romania, it's got to be one of the medieval monasteries in Bucovina. The wall paintings are beautiful, both on the inside and on the outside. And a painting that has lasted over 500 years of constant exposure to the elements is really something...

That and the fact that Bucovina itself is a beautiful region, and the monasteries tend to be at the foothills of one mountain or another... on on the mountain. ;)

View of Sucevita from above... waaaay above (notice the fortress walls):

You haven't seen Scotland until you've seen miles and miles and MILES OF FOG AND MOUNTAINS AND RAIN AND SHEEP! MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF SHEEP! EVIL ENGLISH FARMERS AND THE CLEARANCES REPLACED EVERYTHING WORTHWHILE WITH SHEEP!

Still, there are some relitively sheep-free areas. One of the most beautiful I have seen is the Isle of (Skye or Mull? Skye or Mull? *debates for hours* .... hmmmm......) Mull. I tell you, being out there in the history and the heather and all that... The place has atmosphere and it's not all modernised. I find few things so pleasing as sitting back next to a huge logfire in a stone-walled building while the wind whistles outside and the darkness closes in and the fairies come out to taunt mortals...

You haven't seen The Netherlands until you've been to Amsterdam. You can say whatever you want about your culture, but we have then all in one place. ;)

And not only does it show the neutral way we have here, accepting, no tollerating ;D almost anything. It also shows how a city with very few rules compared to most mayor city's can keep itself stable and functioning. [ @Ordos45 ] They didn't make another one with the name New Amsterdam for nothing. . ;)

Good ol Bratislava, home of my ancestors :)

You haven't seen America until you have seen Chicago. I believe Chicago to be one of the US's greatest cities because of the amazing contrast between extreme civilization and the beauty of Lake Michigan right next to it. I spent years sailing on Lake Michigan and you really haven't lived until you have sailed in a place like that :)

I've been to Chicago, but didn't have a big impression of it (and still don't). It's just a big city and that's basicly it. I loved the view from Sears tower and yes, Lake Michigan is nice, but that's it. I think there are better places to visit in the US :)

I can understand how someone could have that view of Chicago, but for me I love the contrast of an ocean and a city with what are now treelined streets and fireworks twice a week. There have been a lot of beautification efforts on the part of Chicago's mayor (Richard Daily I think). So, I have to ask how long ago you visited the city?
