Part 10

at that time, there was no internet

the Africans trying to get to Europe only knew the northern continent because of the tourists they saw traveling in their country

now, I could understand why they all tried to go to Europe

I wonder whether they would still have tried to come to Europe had they know what Europe was really like

these old cultures, like Europe and Chine or India had something decadent about them

for a very long time, nearly 500 years, the Europeans had destroyed every kind of culture in Africa

maybe, the future of humanity lies in Africa because they do not have this sort of burden of the past

but why did I go back to Europe and not southwards to black Africa?

actually, I didn’t have any more money and must admit that I was not brave enough to go to black Africa without money

what one can do in Europe, one can’t do in Africa

the lowest living level in Europe is enough to live on with minor trouble

but Africa is different, the lowest living level there is only enough to starve of hunger

through all my life, I’ve been criticizing European society and snobbery with all her racism and arrogance

nevertheless, European culture is still one of the most tolerant and advanced

and there is no other place in the world like Europe, North America or Australia where people can live their inclinations so freely

however, can we just lean back saying that it’s much better than elsewhere if we know exactly that it’s still not good enough?

communism in Eastern Europe had just broken down

maybe, I could leave Western Europe without leaving Europe

many eastern European people moved to Western Europe to begin a better life

but only few people moved from Western Europe to the eastern part of the continent

me, I was one of them

and when I arrived, they looked at me like at somebody from Mars

x

my dog, yes, I had a dog at that time

it was only a small dog of about 15 kg

when I think back, he was my best friend, I’ve never had a better one

he, because it was a male dog, didn’t like Northern Africa very much

the Arab culture likes the cat but not the dog

cats have very important tasks, for example catching mice and rats

still today, dogs fulfils the role of pigs in these countries

most of them are street dogs and feed on the rubbish they find in the streets
