Which city do you like most?

I prefer the capital city of France --- Paris, 'the City of Light'. I love the splendid architecture of the museums, art galleries, buildings, monuments and statues scattered throughout the city. Take a stroll down the self-proclaimed 'World's Most Beautiful Boulevard' --- Avenue des Champs-Élysées or climb up (or ride the elevator) the most famous symbol of Paris --- the magnificent Eiffel Tower to take a bird's-eye view of the stunning and elegant metropolis. You can also visit the Musée du Louvre. Once a royal palace, it's now one of the largest art museums in the world. It's world-renowned as the home to Leonardo da Vinci's most famous artwork, Mona Lisa. Once you get there, you will never think of leaving. As for Asian cities, I prefer Hong Kong, the 'Manhattan of the East'. The skyline is so incredible, very much like downtown Manhattan in the bustling New York City, the self-proclaimed 'Capital of the World'. Shanghai is a beautiful city too, where old-world charms meet modern age. That's why it's dubbed 'Paris of the East'.

I hope to be born in France in my next reincarnation. I will be raised there, speaking French and proceed an enjoyable French life. And most important at all, I can take a short-range look at the magnificent Eiffel Tower and the noble Arc de Triomphe, whenever I like. I just wonder these renowned Paris landmarks will have been destroyed when the time I am incarnated as a genuine French come.

Maybe not, as most of them have endured the many wars occured in Paris in the past centuries, they might still survive in the next centuries if only they are restored and refurbished frequently and are given top-notch care and protection.

How can you know if a sudden earthquake or another tsunami happen, and the glorious city will be destroyed within few minutes? We can do nothing about it, but just let the Mother Nature to take over everything.

Hmm...... I haven't heard of any natural disaster that has occured in Paris. I think it's a city beyond the natural disaster zone. Maybe we should ask a genuine Parisian to have this fact authenticated! Shall we?
