Summer in the city
Well, you don’t want to be in the city when it’s over 30C outside, but… that’s life.
Seriously, most of the time it’s like living inside a concrete oven and summer has barely started…
Yet, there are some perks to this miserable life - freebies, all sorts of public events, some of them quite cool, some only so-and-so, but they’re free and it’s something to do. And it’s a decent excuse to drag the little one out of the house…
The pictures are from an event for children, which wasn’t as good as advertised, but at least we got a bit of fresh air spending an evening in the park.
The place wasn’t as crowded as I was afraid, which is, of course, a good thing - although it makes me wonder why there weren’t more people with their kids in the park on a Saturday evening? Actually this is something I’ve been wondering for a long time as I always expect kids’ show to be swarming with people… I wouldn’t even call it entertainment, as exposing young children to various experiences allows them to discover the world they live in…
Among yesterday’s performers there was an impro group, the best in the country as far as kids’ entertainment goes. While there was a decent crowd in front of the stage, there were many parents who only stopped by for a few minutes then drifted away, kids in tow. This kind of shows is fairly recent in our country, not something my generation grew up with, so people won’t bother to understand what’s going on …
After that, there were some circus acts and you could tell by the growing crowd that was something familiar, something everybody consider proper entertainment for children… not like the previous show which had its own rules and you had to listen and pay attention… too much of a bother, whereas jugglers and acrobats, that’s easy.
Made me wonder about the future - we here are firm believers in cryptos and blockchain technology and we all had to make a considerable effort to understand how this works, what are the rules… now we’re waiting for the others to catch up, but most of them prefer the jugglers and the magician at the bank that makes their money disappear…Best case scenario for us is the future will force all these people out there to make an effort to understand the rules of the new show financial system.
Why someone would watch some poodles and not a hot dude is and always will be beyond me...
Ha...no accounting for taste
If you start tagging all your posts with 'palnet' I can tip you PAL coins :D
I've been meaning to use the palnet tag, but I keep forgetting. Didn't know you can tip someone in PAL :)
You're right...people can't be bothered to learn a new way...at least not until they are forced to do it and the they will cry and moan that no one told them. Even some in my own family refuse to hear. I like that you expose your kids to all types of culture...makes for well rounded kids.
I was in Boston for work in the U.S. and it was magical, It had an incredible atmosphere on the weekend, you could walk for miles, street artists, vendors, St.Louis not so much, We do have things to do just not magical, Germany on the other hand, I have yet to be anywhere in the U.S. that rivals Frankfurt Germany on a weekend! It could be because I was an American and everything in Europe seemed like magic, but nothing in memory rivals my experience in Germany in the 90's
Sounds very weird to me... Over here we don't really associate Germany with magic. Not speaking from experience, I was there only on a very short visit so I wouldn't know... could be a misconception we have regarding the German people, we tend to think of them as being strict, precise and not the fun-loving type... can't really blame us, though, after all th shit that went on last century...
Glad you had a fun time in Boston...
I think if you grew up in the U.S. where most buildings aren't even a 100 years old and like Germany had incredible architecture so gothic almost, and the people loved to have fun, though we were all 18-21 years old at the time, you are right though, it defied all the stereotypes of Germans, mean,strict, and such a harsh sounding language etc. I think if I went anywhere in Europe I would call it magical from the view of my American eyes, Boston was fun, sometimes the only chance you have to travel is for work and it was one city that I would never choose to go to,but really loved it for the short time I was there. What country do you live Lady Rebecca? Was it Rumania?
Yes, I'm in Romania, so by nature I'm inclined to feel more at home in a Latin country. I love Italy most of all, partly because just like you I first went there when I was 20.... Also, I know the language, which helps a lot, whereas German I only understand ten words, maybe.

I just looked up Romania on the map and read the wiki on Romania 😀, while I've heard of Romania you would be the first person I know from there, very cool location, it looks like you don't have to travel far and you would be in a whole different world, Turkey especially. It sucks that Urkraine is war torn, that would be a cool place to visit, I also wish I could visit Russia in my lifetime. You must have a very interesting life😀, unfortunately I am a stereotypical American and have barely mastered English, It must be nice to have the ability to speak more than one language!
