I agree that people should take more res...Hi Sonja,<br />I agree that people should take more responsibility for their actions. But this went beyond cigarettes or paper on the ground. Most of the buildings were falling apart. The roofs were in such disrepair that they had to be leaking badly and the streets where deeply rutted and had large holes that with all of the tourism going on and the taxes taken, should be in much better shape. It is very said. But as Trobairitz said, every place has problems like this.<br /><br /> And I know that in the West,there are entire cities going bankrupt and suffering from neglect. But to see a city with only about two square miles that is not in disrepair and that just "happens" to be a high tourist area speaks something else to me. <br /><br />We were in Austria and Munich in 2011 and I have lived in Germany for 5 years many years ago; Aschaffenburg and currently live in Canada for 6 months of every year. It is everywhere. But I had never seen it on that scale in all of my years of travel and living abroad as I have seen in the capital city. I think it is sad anywhere. I just happen to be "here" right now. I'm sure when I make my trip to Liberia, I will see it on an even bigger scale.Tripping Sister!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07937753794186927491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8697466774739790258.post-39094220328295755052013-09-10T13:42:43.650-07:002013-09-10T13:42:43.650-07:00Wonderful to see your European travels through Nor...Wonderful to see your European travels through North-American eyes. You may get the impression that there are public places looking filthy. <br /><br />It is not that people have given up, it's often that people don't take responsibility for their own action, because you shouldn't throw stuff away in the first place, and that's no a matter of government action.<br /><br />In Europe people rely too much on government action and have forgotten how to take action themselves (Germany is no exception...)<br /><br />Greetings from the Black Forest. <br />Cheers, SonjaSonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8697466774739790258.post-80085263717005145992013-09-10T10:57:46.476-07:002013-09-10T10:57:46.476-07:00Trobairitz,

It's like the people just gave up and the government left them behind....:-(. Very sad.
