Isn't there something lovely about public holidays where lots of places are closed, even supermarkets, and there's a lot less people? If you happen to go out it feels like the place is yours.
It's freeing too because you're less conscious of yourself because you're essentially on your own. In high density places it feels odd too, because it's gone from super busy to almost silence. In places with low density it's nice but not as surreal.
You can feel the atmosphere too: it's a comfortable, lazy, resting atmosphere, not a panicked or worried or scared or stressed one. And if you do see someone, it's a bit weird.
Whilst we're on the subject of less people, have you ever been out at like 2, 3 a.m. in the morning? I have, it's quiet, it's black and it very much feels like the place is yours. It's also a completely different side that you're not used to seeing. It's a nice experience, at least for me it was.
- A.M.
