 I was on the top deck of a double deck bus. I watched this man slowly took his time to board. Hence the angle.

What strikes me most of this guy is the fact that he has a fast-paced city in the background. People move fast, and demand that the guy in front move as fast as well. The government has full-pledged well funded program for active aging.

Yet the reality is people grow old and just cannot cope with the lifestyle demanded both by society and government.

Welcome to Singapore.

Thanks for the story behind the picture. I agree with you about aging and coping with a fast pace society (everywhere).
