A Green City

One thing that I really enjoy about this city is the shady greenery everywhere. Many of the streets are wide and divided down the centre with a treed walkway as in the picture on the left. It's where most people walk their dogs and is a much safer and less broken surface than the footpaths that line the streets. Sometimes you will come across a flower seller or vendors with baskets or craftwork, but I have not seen many food vendors, other than ice cream or fruit stalls.

All the streets and parks are kept meticulously clean, well mostly. The streets and gardens are swept daily by the shop keepers or porters and the leaves and refuse collected with the rubbish. All the gardens are kept trimmed and the leaves all raked away. There is not much grass to be seen, so the ground is very dusty, but it's clean. It is generally a very pleasant city to walk around.
