The world is a book and those who do not travel only knows the first page ! It was a cool St. Augustine to write a sentence like that. Of course Ryanair at the time did not exist, then had to be a bit more complicated to move from one end of the world! Anyway ... holy words! Last weekend I was in Berlin! My expectations were not great ... I do not know why, a question of skin .... and instead I was pleasantly contradicted!
Immense but not chaotic, but alive and vibrant and sometimes disturbing! This is Berlin! Two overlapping worlds, East and West compared, different stories that come together and separate in that wall that sometimes there and sometimes reappears! Rich in many ways, organized and modern, ancient and Slovakia. Can you go through the underground, the Metro, tram and the double-decker bus that remind London! Imposing monuments, even more poignant to the sound of their language!
I felt strong emotions and conflicting. I appreciated and enjoyed a life that I like to call normal . People love to stroll, window shop and stay out for the pleasure to stay there. No frantic rush. The street performers enliven the evenings and brighten up the streets. Shop windows lead on the sidewalks, like streams in flood. The myriad of desserts that call you from behind the glass. The days with sun and blue sky and the clouds where the light still does its part. A cold that shrinks the bodies.
Few speak English.
I was not home, but a little remembered!
A little to smile a bit because basically in every statement there is always something in it, let me conclude the post with a custom saying ....
country around the world .... except Sweden !
Soon I will tell you in Brussels!
Good night!
