Four Seasons Boulevard- You are bound to run into a handful if not more people you know at this spot, in the summer you would be hard pressed to find an empty table at one of the Cafe's - Mocha and More, Costa, Segafredo etc or the Restaurants. A great great thing about society here and one I doubt I will get used to, is when you enter a cafe or restaurant or room how you feel all eyes are suddenly on you, it's not a feeling, it's a fact. And a not so subtle one either. Girls and guys alike will stare you down as if you have just barged into their house wearing nothing but a garbage bag, no don't go check in the bathroom mirror if you have something caught on your shoe or something crawling in your hair, it's just the normal way of saying "yes I'm staring at you from top to bottom and not ashamed to let you know I am staring for as long as I like". I swear, if looks could kill well you would find blotches of blood all over the ground here!
Great place to spy on people while taking yourself away from other spying eyes yourself, is Lambroghini Cafe, highly recommend it for those who enoy the spying sport.
I honestly find it hard the lack of anonymity in this city, sometimes you just want to go to a cafe, not care what you look like not care who you're going with and just enjoy the nice weather outside. I miss anonymity that is one thing I find hard to adjust to here. The second is image image image and how HIGHLY and sometimes SUPERFICIALLY it is valued, I am a respectable girl from a respectable family if my friend has had a hard life or has made a few mistakes am I to supposed to turn my nose up at her and treat her as if she is worth less than me? Aren't there more important things in life that who your last name is, how much money you or your parents make? Why are we so fixed on image here, what does it achieve? Does it make this society better or does it instead make us go backwards in development as a society?
