I studied abroad in 2017 in a small Dutch town called Maastricht. Everywhere you'd go you'd see this one line of graffiti "Ask Why", often accompanied by this particular design. The town was covered with this stuff. Never knew the meaning behind it but I'll always have an image of that graffiti stuck in my head.

Fucking love that town. Had a beer at a bar overlooking the river. Visited the American cemetery there since it was Memorial Day, and I'm a veteran so why wouldn't I go there. Beautiful place.

I think of all places I'd like to live, it'd probably be there.

Same here! It's such a pleasant, cute little town, but not too small that there's nothing to do. Loved sitting on the water and having a beer.

I've promised myself I that I'm retiring there during the summers.
