HISTORY OF THE END OF THE WORLD

PEACE, MAN”.



Imagine a place, where you can completely be yourself. A warm and friendly place where you do whatever you want (between natural “normal” bounderies. When you want to freak out, freak out in you own place.

Coffee and drinks are available, no alcohol. But you are allowed to smoke and consume marihuana. A place, where you can stay as long as you want (but may never leave).

Of course, I am describing “The Shop”, my local coffeeshop, where I spend several hours a day. To read, to write, to listen and to talk to friends. You can listen to the music and watch television, if you want.

It is a relaxed place to visit, even though being a regular, you are labelled a social-outcast. Smoking cannabis is, though tolerated, not accepted. Bars and discotheques, where ther is constant noise, turmoil, agression and violence are. There are a lot of bars, but only one coffee-shop in H. and in some towns and villages there are none.

Forbidden by the local government.

Fortunately I can visit “The Shop” and it is close to where I live. It takes 5 minutes. By bike.

And in the more than ten years, I live here, there were no bad moments, violence, agression or disturbance. A pleasure to be there. Peace, man!
