Sitting on a bicycle a long time it is sometimes nice to have something to occupy your mind with. For me it was the Dekobeleuchtung of my surrounding that didn’t only change from town to town but sometimes was different from a single house to the other. When I started my trip from Paris to Berlin I thought of Dekobeleuchtung as a typical American uniqueness, a cliché that only occurs at Christmas time just out of nothing and make the houses look like shining bonbons. But I was wrong. Dekobeleuchtung is as common and popular like newspapers or mailboxes and occurs everywhere you go.

When the new information was settled in my mind I tried to find out if there was something the Dekobeleuchtung of a certain area has in common, special arts or lamps or shapes or whatever, but is it hard to tell. Still, I began to like it.

Especially in the evenings when people turned on the lights and the Dekobeleuchtung stood in full bloom it always made me feel comfortable and warm, I thought of my home and the lights that cover my Christmas tree every single year. That memories of home didn’t make feel bad but almost content and satisfied with my life.

Isn`t it funny that Dekobeleuchtung is able to cause such a flood of feelings.

At the end of my trip, I made a decision. Since then, my own house is covered with the most beautiful Dekobeleuchtung you can imagine, over and over. I turn it on every evening and think of my adventures from Paris to Berlin.
