A journey on trains,

flying cross the land—

the land of……

This set act as a comparison to the multilinear-narrative sets before this.

No.1. Art and Religion. Berlin Cathedral. The trip was full of architectural wonders, while religious elements were tightly bound with many of them.

No.2. Man and Nature. Berlin Wall Memorial. Developed cities with a touch of pure nature. Good combinations of the artificial and the natural are found.

No.3. People and Fashion. Paris. A shop by the Seine. Fashion and the people. What the Parians wear are much different than that of many the Germans. It shows their values.

No.4. Shops and Neighbourhood. Kassel. I think it will be great to live in any of the cities we visited. Shops, neighbourhood, colours, quietness, art, and dream.

No.5. Dream and Reality. Kassel. The trip is like this reflection. These cities were vague like this reflection to me. Then, I got to see this tree itself in reality; and later, the memory of it turns blurry, again, like a shadow.

No.6. History and Culture. Paris. A shop by the Seine. Places of history. Places of culture. Berlin says “displaced”, Kassel says “continue”, Paris says “holding on”, Arles says “peace”.

No.7. Lifestyle and Home. Arles. The second last night of the whole trip. I wished then I could live there. It was just too peaceful. That was life at its purest.

No.8. Cinema. Arles. On the way to the city centre. The whole trip was a cinematic experience because the landscape of Europe has turned up in movies too often. The photos of those places were too familiar. I wish I knew French so that I can go to movies there.

No.9. Travel and Society. Frankfurt. The train stopped at Frankfurt. The trip was not only about the four cities. It was also about the sceneries in between. There were mountains, farmed lands, lakes—just like many other places in the world. Also, there was, too, “post-modernness” in German public transportation as it is in many places in Melbourne(trams…). There weren’t any machines that block your way to check your tickets; whereas in Paris, it was a different situation.
