奥马哈 语音导览

Warren Buffett has lived in Omaha since 1958, in the same house on Farnam Street he bought for $31,500. He has turned down more offers to move than most people receive in a lifetime, which says something about the city's hold on those who know it well. Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting brings tens of thousands of shareholders to the CHI Health Center each May -- the 'Woodstock for Capitalists,' as it has been called -- an event that makes Omaha briefly the center of the financial world, and then everything returns to normal.

Henry Doorly Zoo consistently ranks among the world's best, with an indoor rainforest, an underground desert, and an aquarium under one campus.
