The beautiful, historical city of Urfa
... culture that defines Vancouver, and much of Canada to be honest. What really annoys me, is not so much the actual culture, or lack of it, but more the lack of community. Till this day, I haven't really gotten to know any of my neighbours mainly because neither of us cared to get to know each other because we live in our own small bubbles.
