Purple people

The non-imposing warmth of the people is exceptional. I feel guilty for my initial guardedness in the face of this genuine hospitality, but it isn't that difficult to adapt to. I think at heart anyone would like to be able to be so content and at ease with others, reminiscent of the image I get when people talk of London a few decades ago, where people could leave their front doors unlocked. I think it would be helpful to London's current atmosphere if we adopted this again.

how we weep for the old days of peace and freedom. It is funny it seems to me that everybody goes for the past searching.I for one like going to the ancient past where I can dream that politics and the logical mathmatical way of viewing life was never there.(fantasy)Perhaps. whatever the past was truly like, (quiet nasty in many ways especialy in the city)the only way humanity changes their attitudes to life is via something terrible happening. Horrible but I am quiet sure that it is the key to change.
Recently a new friend of mine spent some time in Madrid and he couldnt stop saying how great it was to feel off guard in a street situation. I suppose in the end he will move away from his present location. At least that is the way I would deal with it.
Nice to read your adventures
