The beautiful town of Innsbruck. Nestled in the Alps with a river which runs through it. You can hear the water running at night time if you live by the riverbanks. The food is unbelievably good if you know where to go and what to order. The people seem happy and healthy. They run and do all kinds of outdoors stuff. In the winter, it's a skiing paradise. The ladies are quite pretty there too! Woohoo! I would live here if I had the money and opportunity. I had a great time shooting and editing this video. Cocteau Twins music just seemed perfect for this piece.
