Amongst the pleasures of living here are:
No Car Alarms
No Planes
No Police, Fire or Ambulance Sirens
Of course that is partly because there are no police cars and no ambulances and the fire engines look like dinky toys

On the other hand there is the cacophony of Radio played at full volume from 5.00 am in many houses-diferent stations, pickup trucks with loud speakers carrying out earsplitting advertising, all night musical performances for an infinite number of excuses, monks exhortations-also by loudspeaker at 5.00 am, too, and followed by town council news delivered in same manner, school bands which play tunelessly all day with a lot of drums..100s of undersilenced motorbikes. But you can see the stars..no sodium lights, and smell the jungle!
