One of the first things you notice after moving to Germany is the ubiquitous sun logo on the corner of every other street. It's for the local Spielothek. For ages, I just walked past. But my curiosity got the ****ter of me. I wanted to understand this little slice of German pop culture.
Inside, amidst the hypnotic chimes, one symbol was everywhere: the Eye of Horus. An ancient Egyptian icon, right here in a Berlin neighbourhood spot.
It's fascinating how a simple game can become part of a country's cultural wallpaper. It's more than just a game; it's a shared memory for millions. I later found the digital version of that exact experience. The link in my bio is just that – a little piece of digital anthropology, a portal back to that specific German feeling.
