I guess London (and New York) are the perfect cities if you want a shot at everything. There's not one thing that you can't get there. Moving to London for 3 years was one of the wisest decisions I ever made as a graphic designer. Let's just hope that moving back to Mexico City proves as wise… Great article Eric!

I notice that the average age of everybody out there must be half mine. The way they go about looking busy while stroking their iPhones, the fashion they pretend not to wear and the bars, cafes and restaurants they frequent all suggest that nobody earns their money making anything physical anymore.

Don't be sad that German culture isn't that obvious and easy to understand, at least your culture isn't sold on a can with a label.
