The walkable infrastructure, clean pavements and easy transportation made me feel like I was walking around in a typical western city, yet the food, aromas and the flavours kept the Asian spirit alive.

I did not expect a lot of g’days or hellos or good mornings as I walked about in the busy city. But the people somehow still felt friendly.
