It's a little unfair that many of you can easily step outside your front door and see things of interest.
How is it for where I now live?
Boring and same-y.
It's my fault in a way in that to live in the really interesting and older part of the city is not something we've chosen to do. So we end up being relegated to the newer part, though a part of it where there are very few expats immediately around us.
It's all been built in the last twenty years or so - and it looks like it has.
This is the street where I live -

This is the street where I live -
I walk one way and come to a couple of streets with no redeeming features -
I walk the other way and come to the place where no doubt someone will soon build upon -
On here are my local rubbish bins. We don't have a collection, we have to take the individual bags, put them in the larger bins that are periodically emptied.
Exciting, huh! -
Exciting, huh! -
I turn right and walk up here -
I go up to where there are some shops to my left -
Or straight on there are more. Halfway up to the left is my local falafel and shawarma shop -
Looking across more waste ground to a few of the shops there. Behind the brown coloured van is a Turkish Hammam -
Oh no. More expats coming no doubt -
So there you see what is within a couple of hundred metres of my door. I think I must live in probably the most bland part of a historical city and country.
