Land is a scarce resource in HK. That's why the architects endeavour to build as large the floor area as possible from a small plot of land. Although the Britain is not a big country, the citizens are more fond of open space. During town planning, the planners try to insert more grassland and parks in the cities. However, I don't think they are good town planners. It seems that new building sites are not properly regulated. New buildings rise amongst the old ones. It's just a mess! 

Queen Square is just like a green carpet at the city heart. It is embraced by stone-paved road and a series of old English style buildings. Time seems moving backwards to the 19th century. Some of them are even over 300 years old!! Though Bristol is not the largest city in England, there is a theatre here which is claimed to be the oldest one on the Island.

The parking ticket selling machine worths some more description. First, you insert some sterlings into the machine. Then, a ticket with time will then be issued. This ticket is to be displayed on the windscreen for spot checking by the officers.

Just a block away is the oldest pub in Bristol - the Smugglers Bar. But what do/did they smuggle? Only God knows. There are some other pubs in the area. At weekends, the air is often filled up with gossips and casual talks.
