Public spaces in US cities just blow my mind. It often looks so temporary and disposable to my eye.

But then European outdoors has been tamed over 2,000 years and lots of towns and villages look like they are part of the natural habitat.

There are pubs and shops where I grew up that are 900 years old. That was sort of normal, but I think it gives you a radically different context on your place in the world v’s growing up somewhere where every building is 30 years old and designed to last 60 years.

Not saying one is better or worse, but certainly different context of your place here.
