“Coexistence of tradition and modernity”
Alice tour shows the coexistence of tradition and modernity as a dynamic and ongoing process. It requires a willingness to adapt, to find common ground, and to appreciate the value of both the past and the present. In this tour you will experience both cultural heritage through gastronomy, traditional architecture and an "amazing tomorrow", all in one. I also want to thank Alice for her kindness and patience in showing me how to navigate the subway. It was such a thoughtful thing to do.
