MY WORLD


More participants here

This shows you my world during economical crisis and recession. If I wouldn't hear every day in the News that we are poor and nearly starving I could hardly believe it.

Before the economical crisis, my world looked like this :

a peaceful pasture (the cows are on strike)

Exactly one and a half year later because of economical crises, a new shopping mall is built on this beautiful place.

Another shop a little farer. Logically there must be people who still shop ??

and houses grow like mushrooms in my street and not the smallest once. There still must be money, because credits for a house are hard to get and you have to have at least 30 % of the value cash on your bank account.

Honnestly I prefer the time we didn't have any recession and economical crisis in Waterloo !

  1. That's more than just a little strange and sad (the shopping mall part).
    I don't understand a lot of things either.
    Maybe better that way, sigh :(

  7. Yup, same here.
    Keep taking the services away from our hospital - but more houses being built and more new shopping centres - but small shops closing down.

  8. Isn't that just a bomber. Such a lovely view of nature's own glory in ruins because of the 'money rules' world we live in. And for what? Were will all the customers to all these 'shopping paradises' come from? New ones are built up - old ones die down. What's the point in that?
    I too wonder about this glorious new world of ours.
