Strange new world
I've arrived in a hustling and bustling city that is rapidly changing. Even I, who was here only a year and a half ago, can now say:
I remember the times when we didn't have to wear helmets while driving mopeds; when the only thing clogging up a street was a cloud of little mopeds honking the living bejeebus out of you. Now cars snake their way through the streets, like big bugs amidst a swarm of ants.
Construction islands interrupt the flow of traffic. Street lights are now in place where they weren't and people are suddenly following traffic rules. Before that common sense gave chaos order. Ca phe (coffee) is scribbled in neon writing on every second restaurant front. Cranes tower over brittling house facades and malls mushroom out of the ground.
