My first observation is, non -chaotic people.
People are not rushing too much.
Even though there is too much crowd, everyone is relaxed, walking slowly in one lane without trying to criss-cross each other.

Cab drivers are not allowed behind the demarcated lane. They asked once, you refused, and they left without arguing or negotiating.
A pretty organised first hour.
