"Since then, I have traveled continously. I have made my home in the train and everybody puts up with me as I wander from coach to coach, The compartments, enourmous as rooms, are full of rubbish and straw and the cold drafts piece them on gray, colourless days."
-Bruno Schulz: Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass

In general I'm quite calm and book-wormish but still a restless soul. I find my peace sitting in my favourite cafes, reading, writing, drinking coffee or just chatting & laughing with friends. I love observing the landscape as the train moves along traveling somewhere unfamiliar. I adore the colour green, poetry, old fashioned trams, learning about the past, cobble-stone streets and random discussions.
