Hello and welcome to another episode of Iway with Jimmy and Ijamel. Hope you're well.

I am Ashley alright. I was a bit freaked out last week so I just got them to Berlin.

But now I've been here about 10 days and I feel settled and I've been exploring on my

own. And I cannot tell you what a breath of fresh air this place is. However the fuck

they are running the society, they need to give everyone else the manual because everyone

here is so nice and so like careful and practical and there's a real sense of looking out for

one another here and the men seem to be really way more respectful than any other city I've

ever lived in where you walk past a group of men and you naturally like sort of clench

your sort of asshole because you're so tense. You're like oh god oh god oh god oh god.

You know what possibly just all perfectly nice even like young groups of boys and teenagers

like everyone's just so normal in a way that seems alien to me like I feel like I'm on

another planet. The fact that I can go for a walk in the evening and not feel terrified

and see other women not looking terrified not having their keys in between their fingers.

How sad that in my mid 30s I'm only just experiencing for the truly the first time

in my life what it's like to just feel as though I'm allowed in a city and that I'm not

completely risking my life by just being out of my house.

Just extraordinary go to Berlin. Especially if you are a woman even if you're travelling

alone maybe especially if you're travelling alone come to Berlin it's great here the

food is fantastic big fan of Germans haven't had a chance to travel here much before and

could happily move here. It's just great it's a great way of life anyway so that's what's

going on with me is that there's someone who's not normally very good at living alone

because I'm afraid because you know a bit traumatized by the earlier years of my life.
