Chinatown and Leicester Square, LONDON UK
Chinatown is for many Londoners an escape from the humdrum prosaic rhythm of their lives. Many or most Londoners are in modestly paying jobs with such burdens as mortgage payments and children to upkeep. Chinatown with its bright lights is a fantasyland into which they can merge for a few hours before they have to return home to the nagging wife and the bills to be paid.
I had such a background myself and retirement in South Asia takes me away from the terrible memories of what I went through boy and man in the UK, mostly in London.
