When you come to another country you try to compare it with your native country. What things surprised Maggie from The Reunion by Joan Lingard?

She was impressed by the height and the speed and the size of everything. She was surprised by the skyscrapers that the streets were full of people out for the evening, and many of the shops were open. She also was impressed by the fast changing landscapes.
Она была впечатлена высотой, скоростью и размерами всего. Она была удивлена небоскребами, тем, что улицы полны людей даже по ночам, и что многие магазины открыты. Она также была впечатлена быстро меняющимися пейзажами.
