nice but there is a 'but'

ladies and gentlemen, here comes tübingen.

cute, small, rainy, fucking ordentlich - ok, maybe I'm just freaking pissed off coz I was given a ticket today for riding a bike in a Füßgängerzone which went for about 50 meters!!! 50 bloody meters where you have to get off your bike only to hop back on it after a 40-second walk, agghhhrrrr, that was frustrating.
other than that - the city is unbelievably pretty, it's actually quite hard for us Poles to even imagine that, it's as if the whole city looked like Warsaw's old town. ok, for Brazilians or Australians it's another story - I reckon they are amazed but in a way I was amazed by India - it's so totally different, it's so old, and clean, and cute that it escapes any comparison. but for me it's a problem, coz I know many of our towns and cities used to look like that - not like that - here I mean the history and the atmosphere behind it, but some how after the war we couldn't bring them back to life and there we are left with a handful of historic buildings here and there, and the rest are communist leftovers.
