Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe
There's amazing stuff all the time if you're paying attention. For example, one morning in France, around five or six A.M., I saw a man in a tie running to a playground to take a dump behind a sort of raised tunnel. Why then, why there? We can never know. Seriously though, there really is stuff all the time, everywhere, if you are looking for it. Looking out my window, now, I can see the Aegean, which is this amazing shade of blue, blending almost imperceptibly into the horizon, and then the sky.
