How life plays out
Unfortunately, some of us didn't feel quite so well. The many unfamiliar spices upset our stomachs. So we took it easy for a while... At some point, we managed to pull ourselves together and made our way to the castle. To do so, we drove through the “city center” of Kerak. There are a few stores, restaurants and market stalls there. We quickly realized that life here is very different from ours. The inhabitants have much less to live on than us middle-class Europeans. Our living conditions are much more luxurious than those of the (average) inhabitants here in Kerak. And yet somehow they seem to be happier. The children laugh as they play soccer in the street with an old tin can. On the street corner, an old man passionately sings his song. Most people seem happy. It shows me once again that it doesn't matter how much you have in life, it doesn't make you any happier. On the contrary! It's often the simple things that make us happy...
