12 Thoughts You’ll Have During A Stroll Through Hamra

Most of us have taken a walk through Hamra, and although every experience is unique in its own way, most of the time we all end up on common ground. Here are 12 thoughts a person would have while typically taking a stroll through Hamra. 1. Don’t look them in the eye, don’t look them in the eye Ex-teacher, ex-best friend, ex-coworker, ex-ex 2. I wonder how this all looked like in the 1960s… Well half of it hasn’t been touched since then, so… 3. Taxi? Taxi? Taxi? Who’s taking these? I guess the tourists… 4. The air is so crisp and polluted I love to feel my lungs die in real time… 5. Rip to those suckers in their cars Enjoy the traffic bozos. 6. Let me take a seat at this overpriced cafe for a minute $17 for coffee, please. 7. Oh it’s time for my favorite game, guess the white tourists’ nationalities? English. German. Definitely. 8. So much culture around, so much abandoned culture… So much of it decays and is destroyed per day, for what? 9. Woo more construction works I just love the sound of drilling in the morning. 10. I wonder what happened to this wall How did it half-collapse like this? Who painted that graffiti? Who painted the graffiti over the graffiti? 11. This store looks so interesting $17 for coffee, please. 12. And of course, that’s my ex again… This city is way too small. And if you’re looking to spend a full hearty day in Hamra, you’ll love this guide. 1
