5S-Example:
New York City is one of the amazing cities in United States which
welcomes people from all over the world. Upon arrival into the jungle
of vast buildings in New York, the first thing I noticed was the
mobbed streets filled with taxi cabs and cars going to and fro in
numerous directions, with the scent of exhaust surfing through the
air. Just standing and watching many people rushing their own
separate ways was an interesting observation. The buildings and
the congested sidewalks with people desperate to shop in the famous
stores were also an incredible sight. As I progressed deeper into
the inner city and exit my vehicle, the aroma of the many
restaurants passed through my nostrils and gave me a craving for
a NY hot dog sold by the street vendors on the corner calling out my
name.
