The flat bed tricycles bearing heavy loads on the streets still stand attest to the hard lives that many peope here lead.
Retro hasn't worked too well on the S or X. Does the government push economic growth to keep the lid on things?
Expect the styling to be very different - less conservative, than the S-Type, for sure. After the customs and passport formalities you emerge into a modern arrivals hall and are immediately facing a Starbucks and a KFC.
