Funny to feel a close affinity with what is happening to a friend half a world away, and interesting that Jason too needs his parks and open spaces. The biggest park here is the remnants of an old established family villa, and so is surrounded by high walls. That is how they manage to close it off. Another big park on the other side of town is much more open, and the rumours are that the city cops are just hanging out around the perimeter, trying to keep people out.
