It’s 30 degrees and the humidity is thick enough to grab. It’s been pouring with rain for days. The weather’s getting us down, but somehow you get used to it quickly. Our clothes are soaked and the rain jacket has given up. So we stroll through the city, impressed by the architecture and the greenery.

Surrounded by so many tall buildings, you feel very small. They tower threateningly above you. In between them stand huge trees and palm trees, which somehow seem quite tiny.
