what do you see?

It's weird to walk along the pavements here now, which are permanently covered in packed snow. You assume it's just a thin layer, until you pass a doorway to a building which is well over 12 inches below you, or a park bench at about your foot level.

I forgot to mention how on our first night back we suddently noticed a weird purple, blue, green and pink conglomeration of lights glowing through the curtains, and looked out to realise that a brand new pachinko parlour had sprung up in a street below. Before we went away that building was a dark, abandoned building of unknown purpose, with a car park bolted on the back of it and a huge child's face decorating the front. It's madness I tell you.
