Quotation of the Day for February 18, 2010



"It all just kind of reminds me of obnoxious expats I've met here, who used to live in Prague and are now all leaving Berlin for either Istanbul or Shanghai, because those are the new It Cities to live in. They're bitchy at new Berlin arrivals, 'You really should have been here ten years ago, back then this city really meant something. Now it's too clean.' I would tell them that I prefer having an apartment I don't have to heat with coal, and that whole running water every single day thing, but they would just look at me with that whole 'How adorably bourgeois of you' look, and I won't get invited to the vegan potluck at the squat next week. That's fine! I don't like textured vegetable protein anyway."
