I haven't seen such travel post before. The thoughts that you're sharing are very interesting and I think you pointed out some problems that we should think about (homelessness, tourists running around just to do as much as possible and forgetting to enjoy their time, money issue, etc)
On a positive note I really like those balconies :) They are cute and honestly, it's the standard balcony size in many countries in Europe :)
Thank you for sharing! It's been my pleasure to read your story!
