A Plethora of Public Pubs

It has been interesting to observe the number of pubs in any town or city.  Nearly every fourth storefront seems to be a pub or an "off license" store which is a liquor store.  They usually have brightly colored facades and all of the pubs we've been in serve food.  I've been collecting photos of them.  Here are a few.

Sadly, our guide April says the rates for alcoholism and suicides are very high here.
