The city is covered with skyscrapers reaching up to the heavens and the only possible way to get  30________ the city is by sky train. Trying to travel on 31________ level is almost a death wish; unfortunately, I discovered this the hard way.

As well as weaving through the human traffic, I had to listen out for oncoming motorbikes and dart out of the way as they rushed past.
