Spaced out in Berlin

December 10th, 2007 · No Comments

I want to say something positive about living in Berlin (I like it here really). Here it is - there’s lot’s of space here. The ratio of physical space to human flesh is much, much higher than in other cities I have lived which results in a much calmer and more focused state of mind. This is a huge benefit and one well worth moving here for. London by contrast is hell hole with no space even to swing a mouse. I reckon that the space quota per human is at least double…maybe more. Walking around the city centre can be a real joy, all of the majesty of a capital city but with far less pain (there are tourists here but they are easier to avoid) also it’s possible to sit in a bar rather than stand uncomfortably for hours on end.
