Good Times


I drew this about three years ago and I think it was meant to depict how the world is going wrong. Unfortunately (or fortunately!), I didn't write it down and have completely forgotten what it was about.

The jetlag is officially over, I can start living again. So much so, I even went to a wedding two days ago. A friend of mine was getting married and she looked really pretty! The reception was perfect, the food was brilliant and the guests were all really nice.

On my way to the wedding, I had time to go through a much liked neighborhood of Berlin. I, on the other hand, do not like that particular neighborhood. I'm not going to call names on my city, or claim the neighborhood I live in as best.

That particular neighborhood is; dirty, has high criminality, smells bad, is not cleaned, has no flowers on the streets, has high number of unemployed, has high number of immigrants (I'm one myself, so I can use that), and is the center of what calls itself 'berlin's artistic community'.
Every tourist wants to see that particular neighborhood.

The neighborhood I live in is; clean, has a castle to visit, offers nice clean parks, is covered in totally normal living houses and totally normal german and immigrants people that do not freak at you and do not drink or make music in the tube station.
Only locals visit the neighborhood I live in.

That said, my friend's wedding was in that neighborhood and against all my expectations (considering the neighborhood) were wrong. The restaurant was beautiful, the service was good and the food was good.

Ah! I should stop ranting...
