Bizarre is the sensation that I had when I first landed in EbteÇa, conflicting thoughts were the only associates that I had. Whispers of anxiety became my permanent companion. Out of the sudden, I’ve start aging in a rapid way. The day here is equivalent to one year period, this city is a whole world by itself, filled with sensational substantial white hazes. This is not normal, I observed the surrounding to verify whether I’m the only person who’s noticing such phenomena, but all of them were walking in a constant movement without being concerned of anyone else, they don’t even seem to see me in my state of confusion. It appears that they’re accepting the actual status. I couldn’t just walk through it. I needed to know what’s happening. So, I took a moment and I observed this road that seems endless and filled with rounded committed pattern of vertical masses, but all that I’ve found was Greyness everywhere. 

At first, I thought that I was going out of my mind. But when I thought about it, it made sense. 

EbteÇa has a unique footprint of blues that’s controlling the drive and time. This city is like a novelty for me, everything is well adjusted and organized (the people, the movement, etc.) which gained it the stability element, but in the same time it has this sadness and unpredictability through its climate, which seemed paradoxical to my mind-set. Because back home, I got used on opposite situation where there’s no control on the public life but yet we have anticipated weather conditions. So, the changing of the atmosphere between where I’ve been and where I am now greatly influenced my psychosomatic and emotional state. Every time I raise my head to the sky to comfort myself with the view of the azure shade, all I see is heavy grey clouds, which made me realise that greyness is the new blue of EbteÇa

Basically, my experience as a foreign student in the last five months wasn’t easy, it seemed like I was walking in a continuous infinite path of countless complications. But now that I got used to the current status, I became more adaptable and understandable to the philosophy of this wonderful miscellaneous metropolitan. 

EBTEÇA’S UNPREDICTABILITY SHAPED ITS INDIVIDUALITY AS A BLUE CITY FILLED WITH GREYNESS THROUGH ITS CLOUDINESS.
