August 2018 Unterwegs: punk mom and dance party on the U1

This punk mom was hustling her sporty son off the U because she wanted to hit her vape pen, ready in her hand!

She was too polite to smoke it on the train, I guess?

The scene below was a classic Berlin moment: subway car dance party.

Just as the doors closed at Warschauerstrasse, two guys hopped on the car. As soon as it pulled out of the station, they cranked up their boombox and one was rapping while the other danced. Most people were dancing, watching or filming the scene, like the woman with the gorgeous Afro. But the guy next to her, with the model-type looks, remained still and his face was masklike in repose. I imagined he had just come home from a big shoot for Calvin Klein in Dubai and was completely exhausted…

Thank you, my Patreon Patrons, for making it possible for me to draw these Berlin moments and share these stories. People are so cool.
