#244 - A man riding his Bmx style bike stopped by the side of the road and casually talking to the pedicab driver who is waiting for possible tourists to hire him tour the walled city.
They seem too be friends and were just checking each other and how is their day going. Earning a living by giving people a ride is a noble job but it may only offer much bring food to the table as it depends on how many passengers will hire you within the day. I reckon these guys are lucky to earn atleast $5USD in this pandemic. So they rely with the help of the government from food rations to financial assistance.
A scene of the old buildings just in front of chapel. Before the pandemic hits, this is always a busy street full of people and vehicles. But as can be seen, looks like there is only a few people every now and then and the wide road is no longer crowded with cars. Now, just a few bikers passing and motorcycles park on the side of the road.
A scene in front of the church where there are many people before but now only a few visitors come to pray and sit at the benches nearby.
Here is a shot of the old Cathedral church which was founded in 1571 with its towering clock and remarkable crosses that can be seen two blocks away.
People can be seen walking via the pedestrian lane to get to the park in front of the church. They look like tourists who also prefer walking, instead of riding pedicabs, to get more personal experience with the area.
Follow me on my street travels.
