In my window i can see crossroads, roads, traffic lights and street lights, in rush hour many traffic too. I live now in Vietnam and here there are many bike drivers, they park their bikes usually on the pavements and it's impossible to go for a walk there.

If I look through the window I can see a crossing, a crossroad with a big roundabout and traffic lights. If it was 9 p.m. I would also see all the street lights light.

I live in the center of a big city near Milan and from my window I can see crossing, roads, pavements, street lights and in some hours also traffic.

Near me I have also traffic lights, a square and roundabouts.

It's not really a quiet place to live!

Hi, I love in Bogor, West Java Indonesia. Bogor was beautiful city, but now Its very crowded and traffic everywhere. There's a roundabout in the center of city, it's called Tugu kujang, which is icon of Bogor. Well many people use the pavement for cadger. So Walker can't walk on it. It makes me annoying when I want to walk for my exercise. There's also a crossroads near my house. I don't know why when there are some police, it has long traffic. I like the signpost. We can find it easy. So don't worry to be lost heheh.
