A key extract from my travelogue:

The street where the human buildings stand on guard at the entrance. This wonderland speaks through its pattern and
its shape andthrough it's energy. The lighting in this street is fragile but inviting. The physical structures don't blow in
the breeze. Instead they stand imposing, human-like in their structure. They stand as if 'on-guard', sentry like and
watching those who pass by.
The buildings seem to have an exaggerated human shape. Club Motion, the night club that stands tall is solid, silent
and still but raving with motion and emotion inside.
The cinema looks on - the huge rotating windows spin and scan the environment, like over-grown CCTV cameras. It's
time to pause at the grinning mouth for it entices you in for that 'bite to eat'!
What appears to be over-sized trousers at first glance with one way mirrors for windows means that the pedestrian can
watch the movers and shakers dance the night away.
There is a giant in size and personifcation - the centre piece of the street. Towering above the buildings, watching and
waiting for the visitor to make their way to greet him. This night club provides the pulse to the street - to the world as
its beat reverberates. The shine from its body radiates the heat from inside filling the air with warmth and the sky with
stars.
