Just can't forget Berlin: Colours of Berlin No.6


It is impossible to forget Berlin.
The constant kaleidoscope of details one observes makes me think that Berlin is more like the Solar System than a city.

And just like the Solar System, there are different culture planets that all orbit around the heart of this amazing place.
Each culture planet is a world unto itself and thus, there are many ways
one can perceive a ‘treat’.

Take for an example, both bubble gum from some slightly worn gum dispenser marked with the going dialogue of the street all over it,
or a selection of delicate, old school sugary hits, served up in a refined tea room or café, deliver the same desired effect of reward and treat,
depending on the culture planet one is from.


The most amazing thing about Berlin is that these culture planets live side by side, cheek by jowl, overlapping forever.
