goodbye


Goodbye "awesomeness"!
Goodbye obsession with food.
Goodbye obsession with work.
Goodbye unbelievable amount of waste and plastic garbage that's being created here.
Goodbye place covered all over with advertisements.
Goodbye giant rats in the subway.
Goodbye competitive, aggressive and always in a hurry people.
Goodbye funny number of vacation days.
Goodbye obsession with credit cards and all kind of financial "deals".
Goodbye people shouting and yelling on the streets, in the restaurants, trains and everywhere else one can imagine.
Goodbye no drinking beer in the parks.
Goodbye freaking air conditioning, which is always set to 16C everywhere.
Goodbye "buy more, save more" motto (aka, bigger is better).
Goodbye smartphones taking over talking to real humans.
Goodbye mandatory, predefined in advance tips.
Goodbye meaningless "thank you", "sorry" and tons of "friendly" questions.
Goodbye homeless people on the streets that nobody even notices.
Goodbye political correctness (aka, never tell the truth).
Goodbye post office employees, who always manage to find something wrong with my package and I always need to re-do it!
Goodbye paranoid security that trumps everything, even liberty.
Goodbye only the fittest survive on the streets.
Goodbye litters of coffee.
Goodbye.

To all amazing smart and great people I met in the last year and to the super cheap nail salons around every corner - I'll see you later!!!
