My first impression of India…
In the middle of the night, I disembark the plane and on my way to the hotel: Can this be fog? No… it’s smog!
 
I had imagined Delhi being a metropolis. But where are the buildings? The only thing I could see were streets (where there was incessant honking) and behind walls and hedges gloominess only.
 
Things in Delhi that remind me of my hometown Berlin…
Back home in my house I immediately noticed the bits and pieces and piles of carton everywhere in the corners. This is OUR India. My family and I don’t manage to keep up with the German standards of orderliness.
 
One thing I’ve noticed in India (that’s not so typical in Germany)…
Very relaxed stray dogs. No barking, no yapping. Cool dogs. Pet dogs in Germany are quite neurotic.

An lasting memory of India…
The very first Indian woman I got to meet – also a graphic artist – had stayed for a longer duration in my native city Bremen and knows the city well.
