I have always loved walking by night in the city. There is no noise from cars, business, construction works, or the blender at the far end of a juice shop. There is no sun to burn your skin or make you squinch your eyes to see ahead of you. The weather is nice. There’s only you, some random people, nearly empty streets, and a few night guards watching television.

You can walk for hours on end, digesting thoughts that couldn’t be dealt with during the day: there was too much distraction. You are free to walk wherever you want and think whatever you want.
