Megalopolis in Alaska


The biggest cities in Alaska are:

42 % of Alaska’s state population live in Anchorage. This city is located between the Chugach National Forest and the shores of Cook Inklet. This city is well known for art and culture, world-class entertainment, sorting events. This city is considered by many as a place people are proud to call it home.

Beautiful pictures of Anchorage city:

I was wondering how it feels to live in a city which is actually pretty small, but is considered largest city from the Alaska’s state. How would somebody feel if he/she would move to a real megalopolis city? I used to live in a small village of about 1000 people, until I was 5 years old. When I moved to a “big” city of about 50,000 people, I could not believe how so many people live in the same place. Finally, when I moved to LA, I experience the life of living in a megalopolis.

Another city is Fairbank, which has a population of about 30,000 people. The city location on the globe gives almost 22 hours of light. With so much day time, this is a perfect city to visit.



BTW, did you know that in July, there is an Eskimo-Indian Olympics? For more information, you can visit http://www.weio.org/. The competition has unique games, like: Alaskan, High Kick, Kneel Jump, Indian Stick Pull, Eskimo Stick Pull, or Drop The Bomb.

This picture shows 2 players competing in the game: “Drop the Bomb”.
