The other side of European cities

Lately it has become fashionable to go to Europe and then to tell everyone how good they have it laid tile, vystrizheny lawns, sidewalks no parks, no puddles ...

My friend went to Hamburg and made a small photo. Everything that you see - is not specially selected photos, the whole city is like that. Just do not make conclusions and comments until you have read it completely.

Let's start with the theme of the road, we often complain that we have no signs so hang and can not see them. There is no better ...

3. The sign prohibiting parking incredibly complicated rules (on the label written by hand)
