Ok, so I've spent most of the daylight (what there is of it) inside, so my impressions of this city might be a little biased, but if I had to describe the city with one word, I'd go with "clean". Clean, yes, clean. It could be that's raining all the time now and the city is constantly being scrubbed, but there is just a general sense of cleanliness here. The air is clean. The buildings are clean. The streets are clean. Even the seagulls here seem clean. The green glass based architecture that pervades so much of the city epitomizes this whole sense of cleanliness. i love it. Especially since I live in such a dirty city (relatively speaking).
