1.5. Wroclaw
2.5. Wroclaw - Trestno
3.5. Trestno - Kotowice
Dear friends, I
In the relatively uncomfortable working class neighborhood I cleaned a little, as a service for the workers (on Labor Day 1.5.) Sleep, and a whole lot. That was necessary. In the evening I then went into the city, Evening on the Town Hall Square. Very nice renovated. However, I was still surprised about the condition of the building to be renovated - and still not be done is.
This has been put into perspective the Næste day, something was likely to be a particularly hard hit area.
have since passed through Breslau, new sandals bought in a huge shopping center, the old "gemuellt" and am now feeling better on the road. More will be wearing sandals Hans use in an art project in the future. Let's see me, what will accumulate as this in the course of the year.
openness
Since Kotowice, in Wroclaw, and in the city today Kotowice arrived to Wroclaw, I get the impression that people are becoming more open, interested, and I get into deeper conversations with them. Perhaps it is also due to the proximity to a big city.
Quartiermaessig seems now to forge a series of mediated quarters, I had in Poland yet, was not too emotionally necessary, I always felt well cared for. But I am, of course.
This afternoon I met this couple before, then a single cyclist, both relatively young people who responded me in walking, became aware because of the backpack, and one of them had seen me yesterday by Breslau stride. The 3 were very interested in the project, asked whether I am a Buddhist, etc. One would have really fancy to go.
The hosts have now I just drove through the village, told German and Polish history, my little one shown in the cemetery. Here there were times 3 German restaurants - all out of the station was covered - collapsed. The train stops here every day, but the station deteriorates more and more. The mixture of old German houses, inhabited by Poland and of course the houses, which build the new Poland now, is still exciting. And "poverty" (no need to suffer hunger, as far as I can over look it) and richness to be considered together is exciting. Poland is also the architectural style of its sophisticated and beautiful at the same time. New houses are painted like colorful, fences built around it. Meike, been with me in late 2007, said the move, sometimes spontag, looks a bit like here in Brazil. I personally still see other similarities, some southern species, partly with the Baltic states, some with Portugal and get it here still do not know how I could describe it.
I found it interesting to see how my host and his children, who acted as interpreter, responded to the cemetery visit. It seems to go to the poles near, they did not know quite what is with the German graves. Part stand on it, just like on the Polish graves, some artificial flowers, some candles, some are not bothered. Some graves from before the war have been leveled, but here seems to be a sensitive nerve of Poland met who do not know exactly how to deal with this heritage. Is it really the right leveling the graves? - The question is probably some poles. I meant to that are flattened in Germany the graves after 30 years. However, this naturally has a certain historical value?!
Poles operate their graves almost a cult following as decorated as they are, I can understand the concerns and thoughts.
Well, it's late again, be greeted warmly
Thomas
