Hello everyone and welcome to the wheel of fortune.

For those who do not know, I'm organizing a contest with a prize of 17 steem or 6 booster packs (the choice must be made at the time of registration). If you are interested in participating in the contest and know the general rules, you can find them here.

Today's challenge is... Share what you like about your city.

I like traveling but even more I like to meet people from other countries. I think it's a great opportunity get to know new cultures and new lifestyles. Tell me where you're from and what's special for you. The comments that will receive the most upvote will win. (No $)

La sfida di oggi è ... Cosa ti piace della tua città.

One of the sponsors of this contest is @steemmonsters. Steem Monsters is a card game based on Steem's blockchain. Personally I find it very interesting and engaging. Every day you can earn bonus cards that you can use in games. Recently, tournaments have been added in which you can win steem. If you are interested, this is the link of the game.

Di Genova, la mia città, mi piacciono tantissime cose.
Camminare fra i suoi intricati carruggi (noi questa parola la pronunciamo spesso con una r soltanto), per esempio, nel bel mezzo di uno dei centri storici più grandi d'Europa che è a tutti gli effetti un enorme labirinto, respirando storia ad ogni angolo: se i muri di quei palazzi uno attaccato all'altro potessero parlare, ci racconterebbero le vicende burrascose di una delle più gloriose e potenti repubbliche del vecchio continente, aneddoti bagnati di sangue, ardore e sudore, guerra e ribellioni, ma anche da incredibili novelle romantiche e languidi amori, dal medioevo fino ad oggi.
A Genova respiri l'odore della vita vera, quella di tutti i giorni, ma non soltanto dei tuoi giorni, anche quella dei tuoi avi che l'hanno resa grande, colonizzando tanti porti lontani che hanno avuto l'onore di sventolare la bandiera di San Giorgio.
Di Genova mi piace l'odore della sua cucina, della farinata, della sua focaccia, in particolar modo quella con le cipolle, del suo celebre pesto esportato in tutto il mondo, che molti provano a copiare ma sbagliano e sbaglieranno sempre.
Di Genova mi piace che ci sia nato e cresciuto Fabrizio De Andrè; ogni volta che passi da Via Del Campo puoi ancora sentire la sua chitarra suonare mentre rischi di imbatterti ancora in qualche "Bocca di Rosa".
Genova con i monti abbraccia il mare e con il suo suono ti culla, mentre ti rilassi mangiando un gelato sulla mitica spiaggetta di Boccadasse. Genova mi piace per la mia Sampdoria, ma anche per il Derby che giochiamo con i cugini del Genoa.
Genova mi piace per troppe cose che un foresto non potrà mai capire del tutto, ma chiunque voglia provare a carpirne l'essenza più profonda, è benvenuto. Solo non si spaventi dei nostri modi grezzi, a volte un po' pesanti; che mi piacciono tanto anche quelli.

Greetings from Russia, I am from the beautiful city of St. Petersburg. Our city is like the whole world, such was the idea of Peter 1, our ruler. He created my city in 1703. So we are not so young and not so old)) Come to our city and see all its charms. I may even have the honor of showing you the city in person. I would like to get booster packs, because then, I can share the cards with my friends. You know how wonderful the feeling is when you give someone a gift? Thank you for the opportunity to participate. Best regards from Russia.

Вот прям сейчас рассматриваю возможность поехать в Питер в начале марта. Я так понимаю, рассчитывать на снисходительность погоды в это время не стоит))

Being a Dutchie, from not the smallest city, I was not that easy to impress coming somewhere new. Lived in Spain 14 months (different area's) which was nice. Then we moved to Budapest in September 2017 for my boyfriend's new job. Both never been to Hungary, so complete new adventure.

Arriving in Budapest was impressive. Everything is HUGE, and it's especially impressive by night from the Buda side. The Danube river separates the Buda from the Pest side, which was new info to me arriving here. Being on the Pest side or on one of the bridges connecting the 2 parts, is amazing at night. It's all illuminated so beautiful..

It gives you a holiday feeling even during the hot summer months. I remember our first day, walking around the famous Parliament building, its so big that you can't even get it in 1 picture unless you are on a boat or the Buda side (Parliament is in the Pest side). We have been amazed for at least a year discovering Budapest, frequently saying: It's not just big, it's HUGE :)

During our first summer here, we discovered that the Margareth Island is the place to be, I've made several blogs about Margaret Sziget Island, worth reading and enjoying the pictures. There's tons of things to do, and it amazes me every time that, even though there are thousands of people at the island, it's clean and peaceful.

I can't name any city in Holland that offers a place like that, where you can spend days during the summer with the whole family free of charge. You can of course spend money too going for diner or the swimming pool, but even a walk there or a visit to the little zoo and especially the dancing fountain (see my posts) is worth it and cost nothing. Plus the view from the island and bridge are priceless!

So much to tell, but I think I've said it all before in my posts. Still lots of new places to discover though!

Budapest is beautiful :D and even nicer at night ;)

I'm from Oakville and I need lots of SteemMonsters to eat the morons who cause all the morning traffic.

I'm from NY we are the melting Pot of the world.

I live in hartsdale a town in Westchester county 20 minutes by Train out of the Middle of Manhatten...The beauty of where I live is the people from all walks of life and cultures. I play in a poker league thats literally like the UN.

New York has so many things to talk about you could literally go for weeks with a change to a different topic of interest every 5 mins. and not scratch the surface.

We welcome everyone to come on and enjoy there is something for everyone....

36,000 restaurants alone say if you went to eat every meal it would take over 30 years to try them all...

But the thing I love most is sitting in the fresh air out on my porch in the spring...here's picture .. hope you like it

I'm from Crimea, and I like local nature. For example, this is photos from Shaitan-Merdven (Devil's Stairs) near Oliva. It's a part of Great Sevastopol Trail.

I'm from Castellaneta, a little town in the beautiful Italian region Puglia. Our town was built on the top of a ravine and there's many amazing lookouts around the town. The town is also close to a beautiful beach, surrounded from a green wide pine forest. Here's a photo!

I’m from a small town in the middle of rural Alberta Canada. It’s quiet and I can see the mountains on the horizon everyday on my way to work that’s something great. The people are good too and the beer is cheap , couldn’t ask for much more in a town I guess lol

I am from Bangladesh & my city is Narayanganj. It's a near city of capital Dhaka. I like some beautiful sights of my city. Those are some ancient historical places. And my city was the previous capital of my country.
Mainly, this is an industrial area. There is so many industries in my city & they are the main resource of our economy.
