What about beaches without buggies, a time when you knew whom your neighbours were, when a traffic jam was 2 rows of cars at a roundabout. A time when you could run on the corniche without having to dodge a whole bunch of people, go to the parks and let the kids play (or play like a kid).
When the weekend was a time to spend with friends (and not at a shopping mall); When a shopping mall was a trip to Mumtaza Co-op to buy groceries.
