Last night, I took a walk around the Kreuzberg area in Berlin, and today I visited an African festival being held near my hotel.
In some parts of Kreuzberg, I was startled to see rats scurrying across the street, but thankfully, there was no such issue near the shop I was headed to. A few years ago, someone had shown interest in the onigiri molds we make, but I didn’t notice the message on Instagram for two years … 😅 Finally, after three years, I was able to bring our Onigiri Maker. It was a good visit.
Kreuzberg at night felt even more crowded than before, with lots of young people out and about. Unfortunately, I felt that the area’s safety might have declined, and I think I would have been a bit nervous walking around if I weren’t familiar with the neighborhood.
The African festival in the morning was still in the early stages, with some stalls still setting up, and the crowd was sparse.
This allowed me to quietly browse the shops selling handicrafts. I had the chance to chat with some of the vendors and ended up buying beautiful fabric from a mother and daughter who were running a shop together.
私にとって、あんなに大好きだった東京は遊びに行けばいい場所になってしまったのと同様、ベルリンもまた遊びに行く場所になったのかもしれません。
変わりゆくベルリン を眺めながらそんなことを思うのでした。
