what would you take along if you had to leave your country?

i visited berlin last week.
in the amazing Bauhaus Archiv Museum with all my beloved Bauhaus exhibits, i saw a wonderful quote "we write everything lowercase, in order to save time"...herbert bayer, you are quite the genius...
that's just to explain...

another thing taken from berlin is the note "what would you take along if you had to leave your country". i found this in the Jewish Museum. although they spoke these words in different context it hit me...

switzerland here i come...and although i thought of you as a country worth living in, now i see nothing can replace my home. i ride the trams along the roads i know by heart. i look into the windows and see people i know or have seen before. i belong here and now i'm going to leave.
there's nothing you can take along with you besides memories. nothing can replace home.
the best thing i've realised, while saying goodbye to all my small and big corners of the city, is that i have finally believed in love. because what other do i feel to this place i know by heart, a place where i accept all of its' uglyness and all of its' beauty, a place that never bored me, although i saw it everyday...now that's true love...

now i begin a new life in which i will travel more than previously and i'm going to write it all down.
