Might be what you are thinking about...

I moved here when I was 12 from England and my fave things are:

The people - small, small world and if I walk down the road everyone gives a nod/smile/some sort of acknowledgement - it's nice.

Has an airport

The city itself - just the right size, fantastic shopping.
