| | | Kids from Belarus, Romania or Ukraine are moving to over-crowded, overpriced places like Stockholm, in search of a dream. But the places which they dream of have been dying for years, and are now indeed dead; they have turned into dread for most young people, who in turn are dreaming of getting the hell out of there, and moving to places like... if not Belarus, maybe rather Bali.
Most Western cities are overpriced like hell. I'm selling them the hell short, and buying Occidental paradises instead. I'm the hell out of here, as soon as I have saved up enough to afford to leave and start all over again someplace better. The Western world is driving itself into the ground, with its lack of visions of any real depth, it's aging "leaders" and skyrocketing costs of existing. The "new New economy" won't spring up in New York, or even the Bay area – rather in places which still have hope, and excitement, and the bulk of their dreams before them, rather them behind them.
I can't hardly wait to leave this dying Western world for a better, more beautiful world which is being born someplace else.
My first stop: Asia.
Whereto next – the gods know! |
