>I continue to study people on the street, which again reinforces my impression of the Orient as a place of disenchantment. The eye has to grow accustomed to the most unpleasant sights imaginable—there is no oasis, no respite. Technology is the only thing that functions in good order: the railroad, the cars, the airplanes, loudspeakers, and naturally everything belonging to the world of weaponry. Otherwise, there is a complete absence of everything organic, of nourishment, clothing, warmth, light. This is even more pronounced for the higher aspects of life—for joy, happiness, and cheer, and for any benevolent power of art. And all this on some of the richest soil on the globe.
From his diary - Rostov, 23 November 1942

Didn't he flee from Germany to North Africa at like 17 years old to learn the French Foreign Legion? I would have thought he would be more fond of the Orient.

Yes, Rostov is in Russia.
It's one thing to not like a city, but this ignorant German pretends that there is a lack of art in Asia. Just goes to show that he's either ignorant or a cultural chauvinist.
