ALT Cartoon showing a street and sidewalk. The street is full of speeding cars and the sidewalk is uneven, with a lot of steps going up and down, and further blocked by a big hole in the ground where construction workers are working. A door leads from the sidewalk to a public toilet, which is up a flight up stairs. An elevator next to another flights of stairs has a sign that reads ‘out of order’. People are walking happily up and down the street, while a woman in a wheelchair in the left the cartoon is staring up at a banner that reads ‘The Daily Paralymics - START’.

The person walks with crutches and from them shines a ray of yellow light, on top of the red splashes. The ray is filled with musical notes, leaves, a bird flying and the three finger salute. The background is in shades of green and magenta, with golden pagodas peeking through towards the skyline.
