    The end of Europe is pretty much the border with Russia. I’d consider Královec/Kaliningrad European but not Moscow.

    There is this famous bridge connecting Europe to Asia in Turkey, so including countries further east to Europe seems wrong.

    In the end nothing is fixed since Asia and Europe are basically one continent and you can split it up how you like.









  • It’s weird whatever trend is going on now.

    My parents just got new neighbors who destroyed the entire garden, paved it over and just sit there, talking, smoking, giggling, playing music, like it’s their living room.

    Some other new neighbors further down the road bought a house with a beautiful garden and killed everything to replace it with tiles and gravel. They’re never even outside.

    People actually complain when leaves from their neighbor’s trees fall onto their property.

    And it’s as if people don’t remember how it was in the 90s and before. They freak out when there’s a bug. The world used to be full of bugs before. And it’s the people who have nothing but grass who actually water their gardens.

    I do what I can with the little balcony space I have. It’s messy but it’s green.
