The city is administrative in function as such, the morning periods are quite congested. If your job requires you to be early, you need to leave your house before 7am else you’ll be stuck in traffic.

We are very friendly and welcoming. My city is the town of ‘legendary hospitality’. Secondly, my city is very beautiful, with many tourist sites such as museums, zoos, botanic gardens… Last but not the least, my city is eco-friendly.
