No shortage of money in this town. Prices for meals, accommodation and services are right up there with cities such as London. Like most cities there is a huge difference between the top and bottom end of town. Here there appears to be several layers of the 'top end' of town.
Near our hotel, which is in an outer suburb - about six kilometres out, there are numerous very large ornate homes. If I had to classify the suburb I would put it at the lower rung of top end. Out of the driveways of these homes come very nice expensive European cars with chauffeurs driving them. The women in the back are dressed and groomed to the max.
We are in the outer suburb because we couldn't afford ( didn't want to pay ) the inner city rates.
Just ten metres away from the hotel are several such house. Not my taste in house but they are huge. There are hundreds of these - if not thousands.

Just a block or two away is how the vast majority live.
