Episode 60, Albert Camus' The Fall (Part I - Introduction)

<p>Hello good sir! If you do not mind me saying, you look as if you're in limbo.</p> <p>Lost? It might please you to know that most of the tourists, and the locals for that matter, don't know where they're heading in these parts.</p> <p>If I could be so bold as to make an assessment, I would take you for the sophisticated type but with a little bit of an edge? Your smile says it all. Nothing wrong with indulging in the simple things in life every now and then.</p> <p>Do you see that bar over there? Yes, the one with the peculiar name. Mexico City, here in Amsterdam. You'll likely find one or two characters in that place; the brute who runs the place for instance. On a good night, you can end up in the type of conversation which only drunken stranger can have – putting the world to rights. On an even better night, you might learn something about yourself.</p> <p>Intrigued? I knew you were an adventurous sort the moment I lay eyes on you. Enjoy your time here in Amsterdam. No better place in the world for a bit of escapism! The only problem some have is not being able to escape the thought of it after they visit! What? Oh, I meant nothing by it. A slip of the tongue.</p> <p>Before you leave, can I make one final suggestion? I'd take the coat off if I were you. This place can get a lot hotter than limbo if you catch my drift…</p>
