  • Astorflex in Italy for good shoes on a budget. If willing to shell serious money, I’m sure Italy has countless cordwainers to cater to that as well.

    Then there’s Carmina and Sendra in Spain which I hear are high quality, no personal experience of those.

    I understand that Portugal is the shoemaking center if Europe. Lots of brands from around the continent produce there.















  • I’ve been at Dachau concentration camp. There were wooden bunk beds multiple levels high where prisoners were crammed.

    There’s no evidence of Zyklon B being used to kill people there like in Auschwitz, but people were starved and beaten to death there.

    I visited the onsite crematorium too where the still living prisoners were forced to burn the bodies of the dead ones.

    Even if it is one of the least bad camps, it still is so terrible. When I visited, people just looked at things in silence because it all is truly incomprehensible. Going there feels like being slapped on the back of your head, truly an eye opener.
