"Timeless small country exuding affluence from inside out."

That's a pretty accurate description. There was a lot of new construction there and it actually reminded me of a massive city in some ways. There were quute a few cranes building more large towers, which you see a lot of in major metropolis cities but never in smaller ones. It's not often that you see so many towers in such a small town either. 40 thousand people isn't very many inhabitants. It's rare seeing even one skyscraper in a town that size. But that speaks to how many tourists go there I suppose.
