Frankfurt 1/8/2002

there's an Irish prover hat says 'there are no strangers, only friends you haven't met' though I'm starting to believe there are no friends, only stranger with a will to fade their lonelyness.
HELP ! there's a bunch of paranoids stalking me !
on my way to utrecht, expecting to meet the guy I've met in Venice, or what's left of him, after his short near death experience in venice. he really scared me.

Frankfurt 22/7/2002

There's no local news here in Frankfurt, nobody is interested. Israel is usually the main issue. when the troubles are far away and our not your own troubles they are used here as control over population. when the troubles out there stop, the control fails and local issues rise. multicultural is bullshit because people are still humans and as humans they are racists, in all sorts of forms.
I met old friends here, they introduced me to a party of friends, had a nice time there. onw of their friends offered me a present, a large marijuana flower. when I tried to explain that I cannot accept this he indulged me to take it. when I still didn't accept it he said that he is an arab, and if I don't accept this gift, as illegal as it may be, it will lead to insult. a friend of mine "accepted" the gift for me.
it rises a question, if I offer someone a present and he refuses to take it, should I be offended by it?

Frankfurt 18/7/2002

מרגיש שהעולם צעיר ושאני מזדקן
וגם אני הקשתי פעם אחת יותר מדי על הסלע
מבין שלא אראה את השלום בתקופת חיי, אולי דורות מכאן.
ההבטחה לעתיד טוב יותר, הילדים, אנחנו

Train from Berlin to Frankfurt am main, 17 Jul 2002

On my way to Frankfurt am main, Berlin has been so good to me I don't wat to leave. all these pictures in my head, from my crazy hostel appartment to the crazy berliners I've met.
It seems that every last night I spend in every place is the best, maybe the fact that I'm leaving is a cause to have a good time, yesterday was my last night here in Berlin and the love parade was indeed packed with a million people drinking beer, having a good time but I was looking for something else, something more 'true' or less fake than a bunch of tourists dancing naked under a durex commercial.
The love parade is a good excuse not to take a walk in the center of berlin, and when you do, you find that berlin is hiding from the bullshit overdose that goes on in the 'love parade'. 
In the Television they showed the Tendentious gay parties, but in fact one wouldn't actually experience to meet too much gay people on the parade, there were some bearded ladies but that what most of the media took to the public, in fact, I've seen so many families spending time in picnics with their offspring in the park but the media doesn't think these things have any value.
Leaving berlin was kind of hard for me, it feels like starting something I know I cannot finish, although a large part of the city is commercialized with nudity, it has made a strong mark in my head. I can only dream that my home could obtain some of it's culture.
Peace. a city so dense with people all around the world, wondering the streets and celebrating, feeling no corruption or fear of explosions.
one day a million people crowd swept through the center of berlin, without any of them thinking or fearing this is an explosive situation as if someone might be carrying a bomb. it is safe on the streets, no one has to be checked and flagged, no need to carry your identity card as long as you know who you are.
