Denver is a fine city

 I was in a suburb of Denver for the past ten days. We (with cousins, and friend VS) visited downtown Denver on several occasions. And later (as in, yesterday, a day after getting back from Denver) I talked to friend GF about the town.

And we all agreed, Denver is a fine city. The architecture of old houses is so cute, reminds one of older classier Nepali houses. The Cheeseman park area is awesome. There's some bars and restaurants. And...thats' it.

It's not a transit-friendly place. Not a particularly walkable city either. There's not too many great museums to talk of. There's not much nature 'in' the proper city itself. I would consider it a 2nd-tier or 3rd tier city, if one were to use a comparison standard from China.

If one were to move to Denver, and it's unclear why one would do that, a personal vehicle is a must. And the cheeseman park area would probably be one of the better neighborhoods to live in. It's a giant sprawling mess with not very good nightlife, alright food, maybe has culture(?) who knows, and uhh that's it. It's a pretty decent Southern city (I know, it's not in the South, but the architecture suggests otherwise) which happens to be nearby the mountains where it snows a lot. Also it was incredibly not when I was there, that may have taken several points off my rating.

Maybe if I go there again, in a different season, I might re-evaluate. That seems questionable.

One thing that was new, and kind of exciting for me, was how many Nepalis there are, and how they're all doing pretty well. My dad's aunt's family happens to run several Nepali restaurants in the area, I'm told.
