Hello-Bye-Bye

 
 
This is the last mural from Braunschweig´s West.
I don´t think I will visit soon again.
It´s a long way to walk and it is really a rather... "unfriendly" area.
Good if you are fluent in Russian and Turkish, I am in neither.
 
@our host, was it already that way back then?
I had friends since 1993 in Braunschweig, but in other quarters and moved here 2001 only... 
 
The city tries to make the West attractive - I do hope they manage! 
The art-scene sure is not that bad, right?

I don't have to understand it to appreciate it. Cartoonish and colorful. I like it.

I think he just says "hi :-)!"

The art is good. theer are areas of Adelaide I would never dare to go especially at night.

Iris Flavia said...

Same here, the "especially at night"-thing... Sad, isn´t it!
At day time... nice art. Crazy....

Jim said...

At first I thought the lettering was G'DAY.

Iris Flavia said...

That would´ve been nicer!

When we lived in Salzgitter there was already a Klein-Türkei, but the people were nice there, it made things easier if you knew a word or two in Tyrkish and was a nice person - I do not doubt that you are a nice person, but maybe enought others have not been?

...art makes a community great.

Iris Flavia said...

Charlotte, I think Salzgitter has changed a lot, too - must ask Ingo (some of his work-colleagues also live there, Ingo just drives to the plant and back).
But maybe I won´t and you keep your nice memories!!! That would be better!

And don´t get me wrong - Ingo has a very nice Russian colleague and I had a friendly Turkish one. His Turkish wife always cooked and baked for him to take to work for his Birthday, very yummy.
By no means do I "alle über einen Kamm scheren".

But, yes, others have not been nice, that even includes a maybe 14-year old boy who hit me for not making room for him (I had recycling-stuff (glass and paper) with me).
The Father in typical Muslim clothes was right behind and behind him his fully covered wife with two big bags of groceries.

Tom, the biggest YES to that!

There are always dodgy areas in every city. Nice mural find, very colourful.
Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Iris.

Iris Flavia said...

That´s true, Sami. Sadly!

RedPat said...

That looks like a happy guy in the mural, Iris.

I love the lion's family!!!
In my city we don't have yet dodgy areas but ... the times are changing.

Happy is always :-) Hope you are, hugs :-)

Art does make a community better. I never hear Russian or Turkish spoken in Hawaii.

Lowcarb team member said...

As Elizabeth said, and I agree, it is cartoonish and colourful, I like it.

All the best Jan

I don't believe I heard anyone speak Turkish.
By the way. I ask on my blog post, why some can't leave an blog post. Hopefully I get an answer.
Coffee is on, and stay safe.

magiceye said...

Great art! Take care.

Iris Flavia said...

gigi, don´t Russians visit?
They do in Cuba.

Jan, it´s a fun one :-)

Dora, that is strange, no Turkish people in your area?
Haha, good luck with blogger - I asked long ago and never got an answer. But hopefully you do and let me know!

magiceye, so simple and fun art!

Even though I don't understand it, I like it. It's colorful and fun.
