As we take the train ride into this city of forests, canals, and city life, we stop at Danishi Station, in downtown.

In the first look at Downtown Saiko, we see the unique "dome" in Hakubutsu Tower that is home to a modern art museum. It is situated along the man-made Saiko Canal giving pedestrians a nice view down the canal and the building. In the next view, we see a tall monument set up as a memorial to those who died during Typhoon Nohakai.

Now we are taking a drive into the nearby suburban life, where the beautiful canal still flows by. There are still a few mid-rises to see in the suburban area, but most of it is consisted of packed townhouses.

As the sun sets, we drive by downtown once again where nature meets urban life. The sunset in Saiko is like one you see at the beach: beautiful, breathtaking, and unique. Of course, the surrounding citylights gives it that extra flare.

[font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Your entries have such wonderful pictures in them, and this is no different! They really whipped that monument up quickly, didn't they?[/font]

[font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]*Sidenote: 'saiko' = 最古 (oldest, not commonly used), 'saikou' = 最高 (awesomest, along with a million other kanji combinations for a million other meanings), but it's a pain in the butt to put 'Saikō'[/font] since 'Saikou' looks silly :D

Ah, makes sense :}
Usually the long vowel remains unwritten in English translations, which makes it a bit confusing. The signs around where I live are written without the long vowel in English x)
