Only little time passes until the 'faux' aspect and miniaturization angle are sublimated. Our tour guide Alex and his friend and driver for the day Kevin -- from the city's bomb squad no less and trained in effective hand-to-hand combat -- confirmed that those of the sites whose originals they had visited bore a remarkable semblance to the real thing. Thus this park does indeed, in a downscaled version just as hifis do it to the real thing, convey a quite tangible experience that left us rather speechless. "We should take a year and explore this country" was our frivolous uptake in fact.
