Making Breakfast

The people in my neighborhood who make these savory fried dough treats usually smile more. This poster has a very serious, hygienic man at work.

Window Shopping

Posh, colorful, expensive. Does this window make you ready to buy? Does it inflame desire?

On some sort of public services building.

New Café

Just over the closest bridge. I’d call it walking distance, but students are mostly likely to disagree. Good atmosphere, interesting drinks but it takes some patience. Expect to have to have them remake a drink so it’s actually hot, etc.

Three Bears

These three bears seem to be part of a marketing campaign for air conditioning/heating systems.

Indian Restaurant

Here’s the main room of an Indian restaurant we tried. It looks empty because we went for a rather late lunch i.e. 2pm (due to traffic problems in the city). The food was quite good. I’d have taken pictures but I was so hungry that that slipped my mind. Next time I shall.
