Observation Five:
On this humid Friday evening, a wide array of people descend down the escalator as they all prepare to do their usual Friday festivities. Their choice of clothing dictated what it was they were going to do that evening, with some men dressed in comfortable, neat and casual clothing whilst most of the women were dressed to the nines.
