I know that there is no relevance between carrot juice and old buildings. I just can’t think of a better title for this post. J
I went to the city center one time to look for rechargeable batteries for my camera. It was early afternoon and the strong sun discouraged me to start roaming around so I decided to stay for a while at a place that looks like a mini-food court with 4 food stalls to choose from – oriental to western. I ordered a carrot juice from one of the food stalls and ended up having a huge glass (450 ml) that took me more than an hour to finish it ‘til the last drop. The counter-lady told me that no available size of carrots for the small size juice that day. I did not get the logic from her answer but when I observed the preparations I understood what she meant. The ratio is 1:1; 1 carrot for 1 glass juice. So, size here matters; small carrot for small size juice or large carrot for large size juice.
After my glass was totally empty, I left to search for electronic shops in the area. I had the chance as well to take photos of the old buildings around. They were engraved of the year they were built; from 1930s to 1940s. I wonder if the city government is helping to preserve or rehabilitate these buildings. I noticed that some are poorly maintained. I am not aware of the Land Use Plan or Building Code of the City but the way I looked at it, these buildings are not taken care of (my presumption) very well. But they are beautiful and I am sure that I am not the only one who have seen their attractiveness.
I hope that locals are giving importance to these historic sights.
