I used to be obsessed with the city... Part 5

The neighbourhoods:
The neighbourhood I stay in is a nice, silent one. Some rare people wander the streets like me. Few kids here and there. Some mosques (regulation is to have a mosque every 700m). LOTS of dead ends and cul de sacs. On days of  nice weather it's a real pleasure to cycle around these houses and discover interesting little things about them. On hot days... well... I wouldn't know because I'm at home in the AC with the cat, yes?
One cul de sac. Nice one. In this neighbourhood, the houses are BIG!
.. not really unique in design, no character that really stands out- but rather everything blends into the background.
A sikka- a little gulley that connects these cul de sacs. So if you're stuck and you're on foot or a cycle, one of these is always around to cut across. I like going through them and not knowing where it's going to lead.
On the main road (nice green one, too) is this blue crack in this house.
I love this one! The vertical gardening thing is great!
A little colony of copy-paste houses (that don't look so). Interesting place, but randoms just can't go in to explore.
