City 1
(1) This is a cosmopolitan mixture of the Third and First worlds, of chauffeurs and beggars, of the establishment, the avowedly working class and the
avant-garde. (2) Unlike comparable European cities, much of it looks unplanned and grubby, but that is part of its appeal. (3) Visiting the city is like being let loose on a giant-sized Monopoly board clogged with traffic. (4) Even though you probably won't know where the hell you are, at least the names will look reassuringly familiar. (5) The city is so enormous, visitors will need to make maximum use of the underground train system: unfortunately this dislocates the city's geography and makes it hard to get your bearings.
