Me too. I cried on a street corner in the middle of the night while a woman stood by wondering whether to approach and her dog kept barking at me. Eastern Europeans wear their emotions on their sleeves too.
Sadly, unlike you, I only keep seeing sick, homeless people which is far more disturbing than the crying people.
Great piece, Russell. I’ve yet to cry in Barcelona since I moved here in February (definitely still in the honeymoon phase) but I agree it is a welcoming place to show your tears and comfort yourself. A friend of mine visiting recently did burst into tears, but that was upon stepping inside La Sagrada Familia for the first time. And who can blame her? ‘It’s so beautiful,’ she whispered through her tears.
Lisbon is also a great place to cry. 😊😭
Great stuff

I agree. I much prefer to cry in a beautiful space, if I can help it.
