Dresden June 2016

   Today was a hypocritical day in the city. On one side is a museum show concerning conspicuous consumption and the poor laborers that made the items and at another museum is the conspicuous consumption of Augustus II. I choose not to see that palace, each room crammed with treasures. Somehow to be proud of that put me off. 

    Very good tram system-also on the digital stop monitor is information, museum or other information.

     Mini hostel had 6 rooms, each one different theme. I had Winter, others: Savannah, Africa, honeymoon, King, and another that I didn't translate and couldn't get to see. 

     Meissen porcelain has a demonstration tour that is just what I wanted to see. Then more stuff than imaginable to buy or look at in their museum. It's called white gold because Augustus II was told gold could be made from other substances, whatever was invented was European porcelian, which he was inordinately fond of. 

    Attended the opera: Eugen Onigan. I believe it's the third build of the building. I did read the synopsis before or I would have had no idea of the story, except of love-one of the many manifestations of it.

    Created here: carbonated water, toothpaste, a transparent body with idea of hygiene, catagoring races- leading to the idea of superior ones. 

    Didn't like it here-at all. Leaving now.

    It's one of those places that I fly blind. Comprehension is minimal.
