We went to the awkwardly named Fusionopolis for our afternoon cup of tea today. It's been quite some time since we've ventured there but little had changed, though there were more shop spaces vacated.
There are lots of eating & drinking places, but precious few customers. Noi conjectured that it's probably busy with office-workers during the day, and I hope it is since it's a bit depressing to think of all that space being so empty so much of the time.
Perhaps it isn't just the name that's clumsily futuristic. Maybe it's a sign of the emptiness to come. There's certainly a strong sense of the melancholic about it all, reinforced by the emptily cheerful décor. Like reaching out to someone who isn't there.
