Another brick off the wall…
Duisburg, Westdeutschland (West Germany). It’s the morning after the 9th of november 1989, just past 10 AM. Huib, a 37 year old Dutch citizen leaves his train.

Oh, who would ever wanna be king?
Did you ever hear the song Viva la Vida by Coldplay? It’s one of my favourite songs by the world famous British rock band. One of the reasons I love it so much is because of the amazing story it tells. Imagine yourself… You are the king, the king of your castle. The world lies […]

‘Wilders is the one to blame it all on’
While heading in for my train home, I scan my card at the scanner to check in. “Have a good journey”, it tells me. “I’ll decide that for my self, okay?”, I mumble on the inside. Then again, the poor scanner can’t be blamed for it. I decide to try to cheer up my grumpy […]
