Cityscapes, an international blog project about life in cities

Hanoi, HCMC and ten other cities in South-East Asia, Oceania and Europe are linked in the Cityscapes blog project of the GoetheInstitute. In texts, images and short films, they offer interesting insights into the life of these cities and the daily lives of their inhabitants.
 
One of the bloggers describes the Vietnamese capital as: “a young city with many people coming from everywhere. They are all here to pursue happiness and a better life. And as a result of the civilization, many areas that were rice fields around 10 years ago are now full of people and always blocked in the traffic. And though these people have different destinies, they all seem very busy, hurried and active in this city.”
 
 
 
As part of the Cityscapes blog project, each three-member city team creates different contributions to monthly changing topics. Immerse yourself with the Berlin Bloggers in the local party scene, learn more about the consumer habits in Auckland or the meaning of good food in Jakarta.
 
In March, the bloggers addressed the subject of "Sex in my City - how prudish are we?" While in Vietnam there is still a conflict between the generations on the topic, and Sydney also deals with sex quite conservatively, in Bangkok singles are very modern and fall in love on the web.
 
Cityscapes shows what cities and their residents have in common and what separates them. At the end of each month, the Goethe-Institut report summaries the latest blog entries.
 
We look forward with you to a range of impressions, opinions and ideas. Just click on the Cityscapes blog or comment on a blog post and become a part of the international City Bloggers Network!
