An interesting exhibition

Jan 28, 2012 17:21

I'm currently at one of the libraries in my small country. Over here, they have a small but special exhibition on Germany. Why is it special? Because it is not your usual exhibition when you simply see, but it is an exhibition where you hear. Hear the sounds of Germany, sounds of life. There isn't anything much to see. The exhibition is simply a small area defined by makeshift walls with speakers.

I hear an ambulance passing by, cars on the street, polite honking, is that a street busker? Oh, a parade! Marching music. Now it's a play, the music slow, then cheery. Sound of someone pouring water, leisurely chatter, perhaps a coffeehouse of sorts?

There's something about this exhibition that make me feel like, yes, this is how traveling should be - listening.

Oh. There's more. But now it's mostly sight. Here are some translation of an exhibit i'm standing before now.

"Worldly wisdoms
To be followed specially during holidays

Quiet is the first civic duty.
Cleanliness is the highest bid.
Order is half of the life."

As well as something about ' golden rules on how to deal with a dog'...

There are other parts to the exhibit, but I don't find them too interesting, so I'll pass...
