East and West

The city where I live has two very differnt parts. The east has retained all the original culture-the more conservative dress, traditions, etc. The west has become much more 'westernized' with malls, American fast food resturants, large grocery stores, etc. I live in on the edge on both parts so I'm not close to the western stuff, but the neighborhood is a bit nicer. I like the area since it seems more like really living here in this country..not in the States.
