Yep. That's right. Colburn. Still good ol' Colburn. That's good, though, right? We're starting to get to know the city better. Or at least parts of it. We're still not in the epicenter of this megalopolis, but we're making cracking progress to get there.

Look! It's the eastern shore of Raffles Quay, right south of downtown Colburn! My god, are we getting there? :lol:

Anyway, in this picture we can see the Colburn Hyatt hotel, next to the bridge. It's a pretty popular four star hotel among middle class tourists. No wonder, considering it's location slap dash in the middle of it all. Tourism is booming in Colburn right now.

In the lower left is the theater district. While not too big or impressive, There are some good shows there, and it is praised, if not else by the locals, for being cozy and picturesque.

Finally the tower in the bottom right is the Grump Raffles Highmark tower. Standing as Colburn's tallest building south of Raffles Quay, and the fifth tallest residential building in the world, no wonder where it got it's name from. Also, it was erected by none other than world famous city development big wig Ronald Grump. Colburn should be proud. :lol:

If you go a few feet north, you reach Raffles City. Has anyone else noticed how everything located by Raffles Quay is called something that includes "Raffles"? I have. I guess it's not that strange. Still, sounds funny. Like Scooby-Doo trying to say "Waffles". Heh! :lol:

Anyway;

Raffles city is not particularily big. There are some mid-rises housing companies like Philips and Honda, but nothing particularily impressive. Unless you like ferris wheels. Because there is a ferris wheel. So if you like ferris wheels, welcome. If not, you're still welcome, but if it gets boring you better not whine about it.

Finally, the residential areas. People who go to places like the above ones are either sad housewives who can't pronounce "tortilla", or people who actually have the money to go there. Let's focus on the latter.

The latter, being the rich people in case you somehow for got and is slightly brain damaged, live in places like these:

Fancy, I know, but it comes with a price. These are million dollar mansions, you know. In case this area (which by the way is called "Sheffield") is a bit too expensive for you, fear not. You could always try Concorde! :thumb:

People living in this area are equally fancy as those living in Sheffield, but they're mostly younger, so they seem even more stuck up and annoying. Seriously. They're twenty five years old, and use words like "adequate" instead of "okay". -.-

If somehow I haven't lost my sales pitch completely and you still want to live here, the apartments are spacious and bright, the commute times to downton Colburn are not too bad and it only costs about $700,000 a year. Dirt cheap. Just grab your bags and walk right in. Micro transactions not accepted.
