Western Europe

A strange introduction to Berlin.

Duisburg, I believe, could be called normal Germany — and that’s what makes it a good stop.

My impression when I look out at Germany.

Yes, still washing clothes by hand.

Coming into German, I get what I expected.

Brussels is rough, well-worn, and integral world city, which is exactly what I’m looking for in a place.

Culture is never better shown than in contrast. Especially when it comes to bathrooms…

A perfect place, at least relative to everywhere else.

Rotterdam is a modern ancient city, and this is what makes it real.
