No words could describe it... Or maybe, I am simply lost for those that could.
Idę na latwiznę:
No building is shorter than 15 floors and most are 30 and over. This city houses 10 times the population of Krakow on a territory only three times as big. The city has continuously grown - up and up and up...
Most construction from more than 10 years ago, would have all the piping and air conditioning exposed on the outside and would neighbour blue glass concrete sky scrapers more often than not.
You'd see a slum next to a luxury hotel, a maze of piping and a bright collection of drying laundry reflecting in the blueness of the energy efficient glass, a mozaic of old AC units hanging over a Rolex or Cartier store, dusty bamboo scaffolding covering up Ermenegildo Zegna's chic wndows, etc, etc, etc.
Laundry and old AC units "raining" down on you as you walk on a sidewalk is a normality and the skill of diving the drops - after less than a week here - is merely a reflex.
