Welcoming me already with a grey barren concrete border while driving along the highway, behind which empty dreams lie infertile on the fields and unreal steel structures rise above the ground with your skyline in the distance. Reminding me more of bar charts in data sheets than the naturally grown European cities I'm too familiar with. This threshold won't be the last and stays like an underlying theme with you with your ever-increasing fetish for security controls and identity checks in your buildings and bars.
