Park or building

Turn around before continuing to read this.
You’re now standing with your back to the pink building. In front of you is a small park. With many trees. It looks very different here at different times of the year. Sometimes you can see the colourful building at the other end of the park—diagonally to your right, just before the main road. With its rooms and the beings inside them. And sometimes, you see nothing but full green leaves. Here, two possibilities open up to you. Take your pick:
park or building?

  • Building

Turn your head and then your body to the right slightly. Do you see the red building with white window frames? Where a white line of bricks connects the upper windows? Turn onto the small street, “Distelkamp”, in front of this building, and walk until you reach the low, boxy building with glass show windows on your right. Stand there in front of the windows, look inside and then continue reading on page 23.

  • Park

Do you feel like making another stop? Is something rumbling in your stomach? A fart? Or something else? It’s a wave flowing through you; you feel giddy and bubbly. Your heart beats a little faster because you don’t know what’s coming next, but you become excited and restless. Want to ride this wave? Then take a look around. Go wherever you want to sit or stand and then read what’s on page 21.
