I'll tell you a secret. Sometimes I can't resist vending machines with chewing gum and surprises. I still feel the magic they had for me when I was a child and 25 cents was an enormous amount. Standing before it for ages because you can only spend your money once.
Now I sometimes feel like life is like a vending machine. It has so much to offer. Choosing is difficult and sometimes its random, you throw in your coins and your not always sure what your gonna get. Like the 25 cents you can only spend your time once. So spend it wisely.
Do you have some coins left? Choose a 'machine' in the sidebar under 'corner view'
Love your words, very wise, Sunny Anna:)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI know. I rarely use them these days (exception last week) but I remember that... clutching your cents and being totally undecided. ah, nostalgia. leuk. :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYes, sometimes choosing does feel a bit like a shot in the dark...very interesting perspective on vending machines Anna!

Oh - is that glass bottles in a vending machine in a subway? Interesting!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThat makes me thirsty for an orange juice! Great perspective on vending machines, very similar to mine. It's all about choices, is it not?

And sometimes the Life Vending Machine keeps your money and spits out nothing! That's when you have to pound it!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAt night vending machines are more atractive...
BeantwoordenVerwijderenchewing gum-machines made me crazy, when i was a child. i put in money, but no chewing gum came out... so i bought my own one ;-)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenare you often in germany and do you speak our language?
have a nice day...
I love how they still have those maschines in Berlin! In Denmark they stupidly took them down about 20 years ago.. So like you they are a lovely memorie from my childhood!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt's always fun to feel like a little kid again, with money to buy a treat.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love vending machines too, especially beautifully designed ones.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenyour comparasion is great!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenlife really is like that. I expired it once more this weekend...
and I'm a fan of chewing gum machines as well! when I was in Berlin I started to photograph the houses who had machines in front of them... In Switzerland they are rarely...
my weekend chewing gum machine was nor good nor bad. I just realized: sometimes we stay in front of the machine and we put the coin and concentrate on the red chewing gum. but, at the end, it's the yellow one that's falling into our hands. at first we are a bit disappointed, because yellow is not red...
BeantwoordenVerwijderenbut after a while we understand, that the yellow one tastes as good as the red one or even better...
(the point is: for months me and a friend had the idea of sharing an apartement together. we made posters and told all the people we met on the street and asked for a nice and cheap apartment. last Sunday I went to see a big apartment-sharing-comunity. it's in a house I always admired. but: I just wanted to go there and see the community and to be convinced I would not like it there, because me and my friend wanted to move together... and I didn't want to disappoint her. hm. fact is: I really liked the people in this house and I could imagine moving there. so it would be completely different to what I wanted before and it would be very bad for my friend. but at the same time I realize I prefer moving to a house with a big community and in a part of the city I wanted to move for years... so. Now I have to trust the machine - that it will offer me the right colour...
sorry! my english is so bad! I hope you understand my little story...!
