Thus, there's 12 of every item (library, schools, veg shops, coffee houses, pubs, garages, etc...). It makes samples the 100+ pubs quite interesting. As a foreigner, they grant access to all classes and enjoy having some interesting discussions.

Interestingly, as a American-born foreigner, it's very interesting to see the races mixing and people being separated based on perceived class driving by accent employed, social currency, manner used and word selection.

Living by bicycle is a godsend as I otherwise wouldn't interact with these so much as I pass through 3 or 4 of these on my short 1.5-mile commute.
