Track 18

1 It took us forever to get out of the city. We must have driven for an hour and a half - nothing but shopping malls and bungalows as far as the eye could see.

2 I don’t mind the grime, the crime or the noise. And the skyscrapers are just amazing. It’s a vertical city. You really need to see it to believe it.

3 We stayed in a lovely little cottage, surrounded by meadows. It was gorgeous - so peaceful.

4 The High Street is thronged during the festival. Street performers, clowns, acrobats, all kinds of people peddling all kinds of crazy things. You’d love it.

5 I’d read so much about it when I was at school. I couldn’t believe I was actually there, an ancient town, almost perfectly preserved. You weren’t allowed to take photographs, but I did anyway - when no-one was looking, of course.
