The surrounding medieval-style houses were visible everywhere, and the balconies of residences brimmed with homegrown plants and flowers, while at the roadside, large stretches of tulips flourished.
Ren He, carrying his cello case, ambled along the road back to the hotel, with not many pedestrians on the streets.
At that moment, the sound of police sirens, growing from distant to near, wailed through the air, as though something serious had happened.

In Europe, many such small coffee shops thrived, particularly popular in Italy, a country almost synonymous with coffee.
