Interspersed in the rapidly modernizing city are some older buildings that show traditional architectural styles. On a street near my office is this nice building. The city has been built up around it.

Love the window shutters that open out. I assume to keep out the rain.

What was once probably one house is now (I think) three different shops, selling carpets, noodles, and coffee.
In a city that is growing as rapidly as this, who knows how long these old buildings will last?
