20．Well-known for historic architecture and chocolates，Lviv，Ukraine's official capital of culture，looks，smells，and tastes like the best of Europe．Indeed，its western flavor has earned it the title"Little Paris of Ukraine"．
For centuries Lviv，located 50kilometers from the Poland-Ukraine border，was an important stopping point on the main trade routes between the east and west．During the Renaissance，the city could afford Italy's finest architects because every merchant passing through was forced to stay and sell their goods for at least two weeks．"It was a very smart move to collect money from them，"said Yaroslav Hrytsak，a local historian，adding，"It kept the wealth in the city，and that wealth has been transformed into architectural richness．"
Many historic buildings remain but Lviv's prosperity didn't survive its bloody history．Over the centuries，the city fell under the rule of Poland，Austria，Austria-Hungary，Russia and the Nazi Germany．In addition，both Sweden and Turkey tried unsuccessfully to conquer the city．Then for almost half a century Lviv was ruled by the Soviet Union （苏联）．With that，the city was condemned to relative obscurity（无闻）．But recently things have started to change．Lviv experienced a sudden 40% increase in tourism in early2010，which was the highest rate in Europe．Just last month，its gates opened even wider，when Lviv became a host city for the Euro 2012football championships．
So how has this happened？With the Soviet collapse，some saw new opportunities for reviving Lviv's former wealth and fame．
Limelight networks is a US-founded company．It's one of many digital tech firms to have opened offices in Lviv over the past few years．"It had good growth and experience in the US，however，the company needs more talent to do the new cool projects and products for our customers．This is why we're here in Ukraine．"said CEO of Limelight networks．
Lviv's unexpected abundance of I．T．talent is in fact a legacy（遗产） of the former Soviet Union．To help the military，many Soviet universities focused on turning out world-class engineers and Lviv's university is still producing them．Now，the city is home to 23higher education institutions．

18．Some people make art with paint，and others use pencil or clay．However，Jean Shin makes sculptures that change everyday objects into thoughtful and beautiful works of art．Shin makes art from broken umbrellas，old clothing or computer parts．Her show"Common Threads"is currently at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington，D．C．
One of the first works in the"Common Threads"exhibit looks like glowing orange cave formations coming out of the floor and ceiling．If you move closer to the sculptures，you realize they are made up of thousands of carefully stacked small plastic bottles for storing medicines．
Jean Shin made this work，Chemical Balance，by gathering the bottles from friends，family and retirement communities．Like much of Shin's art，this work is both about individuals and large groups of people．Each personal object once belonged to an individual．But it takes a large community of such individuals to make Shin's art possible．
Chance City is made up of more than thirty-two thousand dollars worth of old lottery tickets．People buy tickets in hopes of winning large amounts of money．Shin collected the tickets in New York City and Washington，D．C．over a period of three years．The small pieces of paper are carefully stacked to create buildings．The sculptures were made using no supports，so they could fall over at any time．The work makes a statement about the unsure nature of money and chance．
Jean Shin was born in 1971in the Republic of Korea．Her parents moved to the United States when she was six years old．Shin studied art at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn，New York．She has chosen to make art that takes a long time to create．She says this is because her parents taught her about the value of hard work．
Other works in"Common Threads"include TEXTile．It is a piece of flowing fabric covered with thousands of old computer keys．Visitors can add to the work by typing their own message．
Shin's latest work is called Everyday Monuments．It is made of almost 2，000sports awards called trophies（奖品）．The trophies showed people doing sports like baseball，tennis or bowling．Shin changed the human forms on every trophy so that each is doing an everyday act like cleaning，driving or carrying shopping bags．The sculpture was influenced by many large monuments in Washington which honor important heroes．Jean Shin's smaller monument celebrates the heroism of people in their everyday actions．
