Alexi, this is very insightful. I particularly enjoyed this sentence: "When we talk about cities turning into ghost towns at night, we’re not just talking about sleep cycles; we’re talking about a sense of loss: a loss of a certain identity, set of subcultures and collective experiences." The collective experience is definitely something that is conveyed through perception and means of measurements that, through evolution, time, and spatial recognition humans deduce as: the more, the better. The more light, the more warmth, which then lead to more life. I love this reminder, Alexi.
i experienced myself the 'huge' [to say the least] gap between Berlin and australian cities: moving from the former to Brisbane a few years ago. that was a fascinating experience.
oh yeah I can imagine Berlin to Brisbane would have been a real shock to the system! 'Im currently spending a few weeks in Melbourne which is definitely more European / Berlin adjacent

Thank you Thalia!

Very nice!
thanks Clara!
I'm an early bird (not the yoga kind) and your atmospheric description of nightlife made me want to experience that too.
