The smell from the drains is not as prolific. The flattened cardboard cartons placed over the grates in the footpath have been replaced with steel lids. Still lots of broken paving though.
The cars and Taxis are generally in very good condition.
Lots of new hotels and buildings.
Many shops and warungs/restaurants have changed hands and or names.
Dudley5t the things that make you want to go back are still the same if not better. The smiles and friendly people, great food and beer and the escape from the southern winter.
