116- Parklife

If there's one thing I like about living in London, it would have to be the prevalence of parks where one can just sit, contemplate, and watch adorable doggies zip by.

There is a severe lack of safe, clean, open public space in Manila, where I am originally from. Manila suffers from poor urban planning in general. I have often joked with close friends that one of the wishes I would have a genie help me out with would be for him to magically clear Manila so that builders could start over and put things in the proper order.

A pipe dream, friends, a pipe dream. It is free to dream so I might as well cash in on my dream voucher.
