i don’t know if my perception is way off, but in my 4 years living here i don’t think i’ve ever heard another american accent spoken around me in the ruhrgebiet, the cluster of cities situated between the ruhr and the lippe rivers near the western border of germany. i’ve heard plenty of spoken english, just nothing in that slightly jarring yet homey twang which is instantly familiar to me, and which my own tongue makes when i speak.
omg that last line. . . great photos and great interpretation of space. you'd be fun to walk with through geography
