If I were

In German class we practised, well, whatever the grammatics is called, to say if I were a tree, a building, a spice, what would I be? My neighbour told me that if I was a spice, I would be chili. I choose to believe it's because it looks nice and has a surprising heat inside. If I were a building I would be the Prime Tower because it's visible. And, I'd like to add, has "appeal and technical perfection". If I were an animal I would be a female tiger, I guess because of the bite! If I were a country I would be the US of A. Probably because I'm loud and I'm free. If I were a city I would be Zürich. What better place on earth is there? All according to my neighbour...
