I overheard someone complaining today about the fact that the people and the city of Berlin don’t do nothing about the accumulating snow on the sidewalks. My instinct was to agree with this someone. We are a living in the capital of a western country, there are Starbucks all around, can someone please not make me think of Tonya Harding everytime I am skating back home?
And this is before I Am counting in the fact that I have to push a stroller at least twice a day. It is an uphill marathon on the uneven surface of Berlin’s sidewalks with a 14-kilo screaming and freezing jewel inside the wagon. “So you think you had a great workout, practicing for an hour in a gym? you are in top shape? come and push this wagon to the corner”.
But then you get home and you open the mail and you have a bill that reminds you about the ridiculous sum that you have to pay for your daughter to go to the kindergarten. And it makes you think about Berlin’s prioirities and why you chose to live here in the first palce.
