hectic in slow motion

The road was a sea of red, gridlock of buses and cars. Even bikers were desperate to find a gap. Tube lines were dead yet the city appeared more lively. Citizens rushed around smiling to the effects of adrenaline, an annoying sight to the passengers in still traffic. Joggers jogged further distance than usual to work, the half awake living dead autopilot among the sea of crowd, Tour de France in London sponsored by Barclays. Men in pubs after work, drowning their sorrow to the thought of their long distance family. Man asleep in the park next to a memorial, rather be dead than getting up to go home. London insider guide, a day out in London during tube strike, an unforgetable experience that one must spend extra hours in. If it's inevitable to walk, take the scenic route.
