I find that people fall into two distinct types.

One type feels ambitious and happy in the face of a bustling cityscape. For example, standing among the skyscrapers of Shanghai Bund, or watching fireworks from Victoria Harbour.
The other type is clearly interested in tranquil mountain scenery. They become fascinated by the forest and thunderstorms outside the glass windows of a high-end countryside lodge.
Which one are you? This is very likely a trait left in our genes from where our ancestors tended to live more.
