previous city I lived in, increased the speed limit of one of its main roads from 50 to 70, yet it was faster to bike due to the massive traffic jams

I visited Melbourne almost 10 years ago and I went to a place that had 4 individual toilets, instead of labeling man and woman, they were labeled as the Pokemon Go teams
