   it was really strange here in berlin today,
   I ve been in many political rallies of several kind
   but it was just something totally different
   almost 10% of the crowd was american
   and around 20% was german
   the rest was basically from every single corner of the planet
   as is the city by the way

   personally I didn t know how to listen to it
   since it was not a rally for any specific issue
   nor something related to our history
   the faces around where smiling to a certain degree
   but mostly thinking
   that is may be the word that best describe it
   a thinking crowd
   when obama arrived with the motorcade and all the rest
   there has been cheers and screams
   but almost suddenly the entire place went silent
   and remained silent till he finally came out
   and trough all the speech
   it was almost like a new form of communication
   people gathered together to listen to a world analysis
   by someone that may end up with a lot of power in it
   we all listened carefully and then just went away
   mumbling about what he said
   and what we were all doing there
   it made sense, it really did
   but it is still difficult, at least to me,
   to understand in which way

   may be “new” is the word
