When i get lost !

Fatin Nabil Photography - Berlin



you know when u r lost in the street and you ask someone about the road , then that person leaves what he/she was doing walks with you and makes sure you got the way right ? 
i keep meeting these people all over the world , different shapes, races, tongs and religions , they always help with a smile for nothing in return ! these people are those who make our world a better place !

I get lost a lot , not  because i am bad in directions but because i  move to new  places  frequently, i change cities where i work/study , i travel much and i keep exploring where i live.  This is why i always get lost ! and whenever i am looking around me there will be i find someone . 

i would like to mention here two  wonderful stories :  The first was in Chefchaouen the Moroccan blue  wonderful city  i was leaving the coffee when i asked the waiter about a specific spot , he  told me his  shift was  over and he can walk me there ,  we walked until the fountain i was looking for , he made sure i knew the  history of the place  together  with the  nice restaurants to visit there then he left.  Next day as chefchaouen is  a small city , i met him again but he was  going with friends to hike to the Achkour waterfalls he  invited me to the hike , we  went as a  big group and since then we  became good friends , i never went back to the city again but it was one of these  times when i was grateful i got  lost !


Chefchaouen 
Second story was in Berlin , i was looking at the map , trying to  find my way in that big  city ,  a man stood next to me and did a gesture with his hand as " what " i answered that i want that specific street then he started to  make  signs and sounds  for me to figure that he can't speak but he  reads lips and he can help me :) ! and he show me the  way through the map , i went on my way walking , after like 5 minutes  i found him behind me trying to call me , one of the people in the  street told me to  turn , he was  running after me as i am a fast walker and he is an old man , he figured out he described me the wrong way and he wanted to warn me ! 


i can tell you hundreds of stories .. just to tell you  that we have good in this world , so be that person , be the one who show people the road without asking for something in return !

Bremen

Bremen is a nice small  city in the  northwest of germany.  Although it is  small but it has a long history specially in the  last century. 

The  city is calm , and even in the rush hours when everyone is trying to  catch something you  do not feel stressed at all.  People are  very simple , nice and helpful. 
The Town Musicians

 The City is  very green and full of  Gardens, flowers and  rivers. the  best time to visit is probably in summer  time, or spring if you are not allergic :). 

The main place to visit is the old city ( Altstadts) surrounded with the WESER River.  

St Peter's Cathedral (13th century)
 Transportation in Bremen is  very  easy and fast , although if u have a bike the  whole city is well adapted for bikers with special parking areas and bike-lines. However, there is  no public bike rental as the other bigger cities in Germany. If u you are staying for some days you will find shops for  bike rental all arround the city.
Bremen is a Bike friendly city 
 Bremen is  very artistic city, when u visit it , you can understand very well why the four animals wanted to  go there to  perform music ! Street musicians , Human status and lovely sculptures are everywhere around the city.

If you  have time it  would eb also interesting to visit the Universum Science Center a science interactive center  with more than 250 Exhibits. 

Finally , you can get to Bremen by train or bus and also by airplane. Bremen airport receives low cost airlines .  so it is not  expensive to see Bremen !
