After work John is heading back to Bucharest and decides to go for a walk.
For every step he takes he really hears the voice of history cry out from the walls that he passes. And as he stops at a red light, he closes his eyes and just try to sort out the different noises from the surrounding traffic and big city activities. So much future dreams mixed with depressed frustrations. Men working with hammers and pickaxes to pull up asphalt, building a new hope. You can see in their eyes that this will never be finished, this will continue long after their deaths. But they feel that they are contributing and in some way also re-writing the history as they erase tracks and signs from the past. Maybe this is the same feeling for the people who once built the great Pyramids of Giza?
John suddenly gets stopped by a passing woman, he can see the desperation in her eyes but can not understand what she wants. She yells at him and he slowly continue to walk as he see the woman reaching out for other passing people on the street. He feels small and helpless in these kind of situations.
Passing the avenues and reaching the Arch of Triumph there were flags put up everywhere, flags that symbolize the end of the second World War. The war ended today, 8th of May and the official Victory Day has been set to 9th of May. So tomorrow there will be big celebrations all over Europe, mainly the eastern parts.
Happy Victory Day!
