Omaha is a major American city with all the amenities that a great city has. There is live theater, an orchestra, a major university, cultural choices, multi-ethnic communities, older settled communities and newly built sprawl. It has a link with Girls and Boys Town, just on it's western edge and reflect western ideas with eastern know how. In many ways, it is where East meets West and it works.
