Düsseldorf

I’ve never been there in summer but I suppose I would feel the same way. Everything there makes me feel like I arrived at home. It is amazing how such a big place can make you feel so comfortable. All these tiny and old streets which guide you somewhere you didn’t know, the freshness of the air (if you aren’t in the center of the city), all these sounds you can hear.

But you can’t imagine how it is at Christmas time. The streets are full of little stalls which sell Christmas presents, bakery and hot wine. People are so kind and it seems like you can smell it in the air. In the morning the air is fresh and it smells like nature, plants and water, but in the evening the streets smell like Christmas bakery and the smoke of the fireplaces. And while I’m sitting in front of my fireplace, looking out the window how the snow hits the ground, I can’t imagine a place on earth that’s more beautiful (except my real home).
