A Day in Washington D.C.

Being in Washington, D.C., in 2018, you feel the turmoil on the streets. There are lively discussions between strangers about the country and its future. Very often, there are tourists from within America, many of them from conservative states, and primarily liberal and black locals. It’s a political town and one that tries to encapsulate the rich American history within walking distance. It feels like an open-air museum sometimes, but there are different parts of the city, of course. Like the American society itself, DC is hard to grapple with and can mean different things to different people. The city is fascinating for sure and worth a visit.

Minor Detail: Vienna in Early 2017, Pt. 2

Fragments captured while absorbing scarce beams of light on the rather dark and cloudy days of late winter and early spring in Vienna. A part of this is dedicated to all the beautiful fonts which can be found while walking the town.

Tokyo

Tokyo is one of the largest cities on earth. It is a megacity in every sense of the word, where you can get easily lost in the masses of people, where motorways pile level upon level, and the skyscrapers seem to touch the sky. It is a marveling sculpture of steel, concrete, and glass. Also, it is where you get fantastic sushi, buy robots, and visit cat cafes. Last but not least, Tokyo is the home of fourteen million humans. Faces you merely pass by tell stories of lives in this strange but enchanting megacity.

Streets of Japan

Walking the streets of urban Japan, some things strike you immediately. First and foremost, it is busy! People are everywhere, many in a hurry while walking to the office or buying a quick lunch. There is a constant flow of people and traffic, not just on the main roads. Despite this, there is no mess, and there are hardly any jams. Of course, Japan is known to be very organized, but still, it is surprising to see it by yourself. So, for example, at the metro stations or at the bus stops, people are lining up calmly well before the train or bus arrives. Also, the streets are incredibly clean, and you hardly see any garbage. And this again despite the masses of people and maybe even more surprisingly without there being any public bins.

Bicycles of Japan

Sure, in terms of bicycles, there are far more crazy places worldwide, like Amsterdam, Kopenhagen, and some other Asian spots. But still, Japanese people seem to love their bikes; you see businessmen, older people, and teenagers alike riding the streets with style and grace (although they are tired sometimes). A collage.
