I can imagine how special each fest is...especially after being to one myself, I can personally appreciate all the excitement.
So thank you again for your welcoming, positive vibes!
On the contrary, you made us feel very comfortable. Thank you. I thought I was out of line for being so excited, but seeing you made me feel at home.
I dunno how I feel about it
I am the same about many such things. On one hand, yes I understand why they want to do that. On the other hand, it is going to affect the income of the workers and who knows how that ends up for them and what they have to go through when income is low. Then again, the center is bustling with all sorts of business because people do come around here to see the street and spend their money on other things as well. Another thing I am not how to feel about are the coffeeshops. There is a discussion going on to stop letting tourists (at some level) from availing the coffeeshops's services. Which is like...a majority of the tourists come here for the coffeeshops, no?
