The city hums as the open-top mini bus rolls through narrow streets, motorbikes parting like a river around it. Morning light hits the Gothic façade of St. Joseph’s Cathedral; later the bus edges close to Train Street where tracks tease the doorways of cafés, and by afternoon the breeze off West Lake cools a glass of local craft beer.
