You must be an exception to the rule, because seeing other places in the world would give most people an appreciation for what's different and unique, I guess.
I don't think that I have ever said that I haven't seen things that were different and unique. Just that architecturally, specifically modern architecture, I haven't seen anything that has inspired me.

I may be being too literal in my view of what architecture is though. As I said things like the pyramids, Eiffel Tower, Tower of London, The Blue Mosque, Notre Dame etc. are all cool things that I really enjoyed.

However, buildings such as the Guggenhiem, London City Hall, the Burj Hotel and other modern buildings do not inspire me.
