If you happen to be Eritrean visiting Kansas City and had not read this article, there is probably no way you would realise that over the past twenty years or so, an Eritrean engineer has had some say in its growth and transformation as a beautiful city. Kansas, nicknamed the City of Fountains, boasts over 200 fountains spread throughout its parks and boulevards – its status as the city with the most fountains is only surpassed by Rome. And talking about boulevards, the city is also known as the Paris of the Plains because it has almost as many thoroughfares as Paris and comes complete with the Rosedale Arch, a replica of the Arc de Triomphe.
