Here are a few pics of my time at the concert.

I have to admit that I didn't stay too long as

Before I got the zoo, I happened upon Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde Rosenstein. Totally unexpected and was just okay in its magnificence. It was just a hause to me, nothing too important looking.

Next was the Wilhelma. I don't usually like zoo's as I am not too interested in seeing animals in cages but it was not that bad here. Also, they had a gorgeous botanical garden full of flowers and plants some of which I have never seen before.

After walking around for a few hours, I called it quits to the zoo and headed to Neckar Park for some looking around. It was a soothing, calming time. Very lovely park. Great morning and midday outing.

In any case, this is what I did last weekend. Took a train to Ulm, Germany which is on the river Danube and the birthplace of Albert Einstein. In Ulm I visited the beautiful, colorful and busy Ulm Marktplatz. But, my real purpose for going to this city was the see the famous Ulm Cathedral and climb all of its 768 stairs.
the beginning of the 768 stair climb. Which I did of course albeit huffing and puffing pretty much all the way up. So was everyone else so I didn't feel too bad.

I don't have much positive things to say about this concentration camp, as you can imagine, so you can just take the pictures in and some of the captions. It was truly a grim experience for me and the other tourists. I felt very heavy and reflective on the way back into the city. I never want to go to another concentration camp again because I felt horrible after being at Sachsenhausen.

a look at the actual layout of the whole camp

i know it is hard to see but this building was called the Green Monster. it got that name because the prisoners who were actually lucky enough to work at this house (and not out in the elements) got to prepare & serve all the soldiers, guards, Hitler and his croonies the succulent food they were not allowed to eat. Sneaking a bit of food was punishable by death. Therefore green monster was born. i agree!

the grounds




inside one of the barracks/prisons




solitary confinement. i am sure it was a million times worst for the prisoners




where prisoners were shot to death




the "oven". this was one of the most disgusting things i have seen to date of my entire life

the "body room". dead bodies were piled up high in this room

Our tour guide left us, at the end of the tour, with this little tidbit from Mark Twain, "History doesn’t repeat itself—but it does rhyme". Very interesting indeed.

That evening I took myself off the to the Reichstag (the seat of German parliament).

Even at that time of day, after 5pm, the line was still very long. But I was happy to go in and see a huge piece of German parlimentary history.

The next day my train left after 11am so I didn't have time for another tour or much sight seeing. I didn't really want to either as my time in Berlin was just enough.
grafitti art in the train station

I had my fill of war, Hitler, graffitti, grimy surroundings, no green, and that overall big city, constant construction feel. I was not into Berlin but as I said before, I am glad I was able to visit Germany's capital.

Here are some scenes along the way within Potsdam.
Glienicke Bridge




This city is very rich and upscale although from outwards appearance, I could not tell. Some parts were just run down and old looking, much like a lot of Berlin, but it is affluent and very expensive.

Palace Cecilienhof where the infamous Potsdam conference was held. These walls hold a lot of government secrets no doubt!



Along the way, Claire told us about the incredible and often times funny history being Potsdam and the war. Very interesting indeed. Take a read here if you wish to learn more.


Gate to the city
I managed to take a lot of pictures and have some great laughs at the silly kings and rulers of the time in good old Prussia.
Dutch quarter


At lunch we made our way to a quaint little cafe that served great sandwiches and were famous for their cakes, apparently. So good. Then it was onto more touring and walking.

Potsdam's Brandenburg Gate

city square

Finally, when we got to Sanssouci, I actually gasped in wonder. So far, this is my favourite castle/palace of them all! It is so pretty and fun.






Frederick the Great's final, final resting place. There are potatoes on this grave as he first recognized that this vegetable could feed the nation

After the tour, we made our way back to the city on the train and everyone went their respective ways. It was a great tour and I was sad to see Claire go...But I had other things to tacke that day. Namely, a BBQ.

If you remember from Munich, you will know I met a girl Andrea who I hung out with and promised to meet up with in Berlin.

Well, we met up that evening and it was great seeing her. First on the agenda was seeing a famous site in West Berlin before going to the BBQ.
Awe inspiring Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche. This church was partially bombed in the war and is kept alive to remind the world and Germany to not repeat the same mistake



After getting off a train, we made our to Kaiser William Memorial Church. This church is kept alive and standing to remind Germans of the war and the destruction it all caused. I was in awe of the building.

We then made our way to the BBQ party. It was a nice night but it was cold so I left a bit after midnight. A great eventful day.

Well, onto my brief explanation of my time there. After getting in, I went to information to find out exactly where Brandenburger Tor (Bradenburg Gate) was so I could go on my first tour. Once again, I used SANDEMANs for the free city tour of Berlin. And once excellent. This time our guide was Claire, a hilarious and wonderful girl from the UK who is in the process of making Berlin her home.

After making our way to most of East Berlin's iconic attractions, we took one step and hopped into West Berlin.
Brandenburg Gate


the Polizei! there was a silent protest going on so the polizei were out...just in case

the silent protesters...literally as their mouths were covered with a black strip of cloth. you gotta love Germans. they always fight for their cause

Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe

It was a great tour actually. I recommend everyone use this company as even the tours you do have to pay for are usually under 15,00€ which is damn cheap compared to most of the other tour companies in Europe.
part of the Berlin Wall



checkpoint Charlie



After the tour, I walked around the city and took it all in. Berlin was sort of grimy but in a good and interesting way. It is just so different from other parts of Germany. I still can't get over it!
Cathedral in the Gendarmenmarkt

concert hall in the Gendarmenmarkt


a famous statue of a woman holding child. i forget the name completely. it depicts the ravage and struggle of war that Germany underwent


Berliner Dom




At the end of the trip, I asked myself the following questions. Did I like Berlin? No! But did I enjoy anything about it? Yes. Unlike other German cities I have visited though, I would not like to return to it's capital. A lot of people like Berlin and that is fine. I think the overall consensus is you either love Berlin or you hate it. There is no room for a middle ground and after being there for a few days, I understand why. One of the other reasons I didn't love my visit is because I didn't see much of anything that was beautiful about Berlin. I associate Germany with beautiful landscapes and surroundings, none of which I was able to get in Berlin. Anyway, more on Berlin to come in my next posts.

I think the old adage is true that Northern Germans are a bit colder is so true. Not Christine though. Wow, she is great! But, I just got a different vibe being in Bremen than lets say Stuttgart or Muenchen. But, in the end, I had a relaxing and wonderfully fun weekend. I will have to repay Christine in spaids if she ever returns to Canada.

at the farm


me obviously holding a cute baby piggy. it was about 4 days old

there are a lot of wind machines in Bremen. very flat land





the city square


the city created some 'garden' ideas so that the citizens might use these designs for their own gardens at home




the characters from the "Fearless Four". A very popular story for children in Bremen (and I think Germany)


the Roland statue, Bremen






Bremen has some remarkably tiny streets that the city is known for in the alstatd. quaint!




good times

I know I will be asked, "why didn't you visit more countries outside of Germany?" when I return so to save some throats the trouble, let me tell you. The answer is very simply, dissatisfaction. I travelled on weekends so I only tasted a tiny bit of the country I entered leaving me feel dissatified and frustrated. I felt this when I was in Austria as I would have liked to visit more than just Salzburg. There were all these little towns I saw from my train that I would have loved to explore for one day but because of time restraints, I couldn't. I felt supreme frustration in Munich of all places. There was so much to do. I remember being on a bus (tour) being driven around and almost in tears because I wanted to see this and that (all of it!) but I couldn't as I had to get back on a train very soon.

Don't get it twisted. I am uber happy and know I am blessed to be given this opportunity but at the same time, I think the travel fire has been ignited in me. I want and NEED more.

Without further delay, here is my wish list places in Europe.

-eat waffles in Belgium
-Luxembourg just because it is so puny and cute
-Amsterdam. I was never interested in this country until I saw a special that Canadian actress Sonja Smits did on it. Now my interested is piqued.
-stay in a château and get drunk off good French wine in Bordeaux
-take a walk through and visit in depth Chaîne des Puys of Auvergne, France
-spend at least 14 full days exploring France in depth and eating and drinking all the wonderful regional foods and wines
-Taking the time needed to see all of the hidden treasures in London, England
-search for loch ness in the Scottish highlands
-spend one day in Prague visiting all the normal tourists traps and then capping off the night by watching Alice in Wonderland at the Black Light Theatre
-finally, finally, finally bask in the beauty that is Lake Bled (Slovenia)
-spend some time in crisp, cool and expensive Norway
-explore the walls of Troy and then delve into the underground city of Derinkuyu, Nevşehir Province, Tukey. Cap this journey off with a stay at a luxurious beach side resort for some serious R&R
-visit Susie's parents in Oporto, Portugal
-learn about the Tsar rule in Tallinn, Estonia

I think that is about it for Europe. You will notice that Italy and Greece are not part of my list. I have no desire to visit either of these countries. There is not one thing that attracts about these places.

Don't even get me started though on my list of countries I want to visit around the rest of the world. That is too long and involved. I feel like I am starving to see and do more now.

outside the chateau

In any case, here are some pictures of it for our enjoyment.

pictures of the interior of the palace

the very ornate ceilings (I happen to love the details of schloss and palace ceilings)

the bed Marie Antoinette birthed her children, publically, to prove their geniality. WHAT?


After the castle visit, we made our way back to the city where I continued more of the city exploration. I did hours and hours of walking and took a trillion pictures and enjoyed myself.

if you watched Bourne Ultimatum, you might recognize this buidling. Bourne hid behind the letter M on this building


The Louvre from the canal


Arc de Triomphe



I tasted some of Paris' renound delicacies. I had a few cookies that were of course, delicious!

For some reason I found myself at a perfume museum. It was free so I strolled in and had a wiff and gander. Lovely.

old fashioned perfume bottles that belonged to the ricch and elite

Later that night I took a boat tour down on the Bateau-Mouche (without the fancy dinner) down the river Seine. It was with a small tour group where I met some very funny people from the U.S..


Views along the Siene

After the boat tour, we were driven around for a taste of Paris after dark where a lot of famous places in the city were highlihted. It was a really nice time.

Instead of going home though, Greta (a woman I met on the tour) had the driver drop us off close the Opera house and had a night cap which included chatting and eating crepes at 1am. The streets were bubbling over with locals and tourists having fun at or heading to bars, pubs and clubs. This city, like Toronto and New York, seems to never sleep.

The next day I spent with a new friend I had made. She is actually a friend of my friend from home who lives just outside Paris but came in the city to visit with me this morning. It was really special and nice of her.

We had a great organic brunch at a famous cafe and then walked around and shopped a bit.

these little 'stamps' on the walls of buildings are some sort of fun thing where there is an ultimate meaning..like connecting the dots in a way



apparently all the girls crowd to this place, my berry, as it is delicious ice cream and yogurt that has no fat!

there was an important tennis match on that day so the city set up a public viewing pit for everyone to enjoy the match. it was very intense.

I caved and bought a white watch. It was too cute to pass up. After a lot of window and actual shopping (by her not me) we said goodbye around 2pm as my train was leaving a bit after 3. I had a great day with M and I enjoyed Paris fully. I would like to hopefully go back one day but with more time and a lot more money.

Here is my wish list:

-Swabian Alps to see Hohenzollern Castle
-Bodensee or Lake Constance in english
-Neuenstein Castle
-Watch a few fütbol games and concerts in NeckarPark Stuttgart
-Experience a German Christmas Markt
-Go to numerous wine villages in Stuttgart and around Baden-Württemberg
-Take a retreat on any little island in Germany for a weekend
-Spend a day in the Black sea with friends
-Get carried away in medieval and emmerse myself in historical Erfurt
-spend a few hours wandering around Fortress Ehrenbreitstein in Koblenz
-work up enough guts to visit and totally enjoy a hot springs in Baden-Baden

Oh, the list goes on and on. There is just too much to see and do and absolutely no time. I am a bit bummed out by this but I promised myself that I will take this frustration of wanting to visit more in this country and transfer it to my home country. Canada is a treasure trove waiting for me to delve into so I will make a point when I return to see as much of my city and surroundings as possible.

A few weeks ago, I posted a few things I had noticed about the peoples of Germany and today, I will update more. These are not merely observations but facts about the country that most or many people may not know about.

-wedding rings are worn on the third finger of the right hand
-saying hile hitler and doing the hand sign is illegal (when my friend was telling me this tidbit, she didn't even do to show me for effect. It is a big thing here)
-Citizens pay a tax of some sort to rebuild Berlin. This has been going on basically since the end of the war and some people are not impresed, to say the least
-Citizens who belong to a religious denomination have to pay a tay to keep their standing. This is especially necessary if one wants to get married one day in a church, for instance
-The official language is German but each region/state has its own dialect which is very different and distinctive
-The more north you go, the flatter the landscape
-Sex and anything related to sex is widely accepted and expected. Finding very sexy magazines at all and any store is the norm and no one blinks an eye at the very provocative photos. I find this is true for all of the European cities I have visited
-I was told that people in the army are not respected as they are seen as creating and perpetuating violence and unrest
-Germans have the lowest birth rate in the world (and from living here I can say this is a big truth)
-school are subdivided into Realschule, gymnasium, Hauptschule and comprehensive school
-The way the school system is structured is kinda old school. At least one parent must go home early or leave work early to take care of the child(ren) due to the structure of the educational system. Of course, most times it is the women.
-I can always tell all the mothers at work. They are the ones who either come in after lunch or leave at lunch or a bit after in order to see to the children. This is unfair as some women have worked hard on their career and it is almost like you have to give it up in order to be a mother. Not fair.
-Kids as young as 16 years old start off their "training time" at work places. The schedule is usually 3 days at work and 2 days at school to complete the practical and theoretical aspects of education (if university or further education is not a wanted option). training time lasts for 3 years.
-You can sleep when you are dead is a huge saying here and one I love and have embraced
-Sports are a huge and important part of German life and culture. Fütbol is of course the most popular making handball and volleyball second and thirds
-Germans work very hard but (at least to me) play harder.

Nope, I didn't go into the Louvre. I'm sorry but museums are not my cup of tea so taking pictures of it outside was totally enough for me. Maybe I will go back one day and do a slight tour if I have the time and inclination.





At the tower, I waited in line for maybe 15 minutes and paid to climb to the 2nd storey. I didn't take the lift any higher as that was fine with me (plus my height fright was raring its head). The views were stunning from above.





I took many pictures along the way of the city and I will do a another post called, the real Paris another day. Just pictures of how the people who can afford to live in the city, live!

Paris was really pretty and fun. I had a great time and after a billion pictures, I took my train (the Metro is very easy to use) to my hotel and fell completely out.

From handholding, to blatant touching, to kissing, to gazing in eyes, it is all there. At first, I'm not gonna lie, I was shocked at some of this. See how bad it is to hold stereotypes against people? They are hardly ever true. It is actually pathetic. Anyway, I had to report, that while I wait for S-Bahns or U-Bahns or ICE trains, in elevators, in store lines etc., I notice that couples, young and old, are not afraid, embarrassed, ashamed, whatever to show the world how they feel about their partner. It is really nice to see. I wonder if it is a cultural thing or maybe a Swabian thing?

My back has never received so much rubs or pats. I am constantly being embraced in some sort of hug or being braced. My arms are constantly locked in someone else's etc.. At first I was like, what the hell? Why is this person touching me but after a while, I kinda got used to and looked forward to it.

The only thing is that the Germans I encounter are blunt to a fault. I don't think it is a being rude thing more than an english-german speaking thing. The art of sublty has not really been embraced here but you know what? I actually like it! I know where I stand with people and for the most part, no one lies to me. Such a refreshing change from home in a way.

I wonder if I will miss all the caresses, pats and caring once I get home or can I carry it on once I get off the plane in Toronto? I doubt I can because even though I receive a lot of affection I still find it hard to give. I will see though after I get home if I end up carrying any of the German mentality home. I know that I will carry some of the language because when I talk to my family, a few German words are inevitably thrown in and I always get a "what?" from the other line. Oh, I also plan on taking German classes when I get home. Yes, I love it that much!

The tour was okay but I hated how the guide took a longer time on the German explanations than on the english. We didn't get any of the jokes that the German speakers received also. This was the first time I experienced this sort of treatment since traveling here. Me and the other english speakers had a little discussion on how it seemed the German speakers got a lot more out of the tour than the english speakers.
sights from the old town

Anyway, the tour started with a bus ride to the alstadt (old town), a boat ride along the Rhine and then a visit to the Rheinturm.
Modern building that the city is famous for

It was fun and along the way I met a cute couple, Bernadette and her husband who lived in the Netherlands. They were in Düsseldorf on a one day vacation. It was nice to chat with people and laugh.

Views from way up high in the Rheinturm

After the tour, Bernadette and hubby left to their own devices so I continued on. On the tour I was intrigued with the old town so I walked back and soaked in the Friday night night life crowd. It was crazy busy.

The river Düssel, where Düsseldorf gets its name

I spent a couple hours in the old town and then I decided to move on.

Hungry, I decided it was time for dinner. I went down Immermann Straß which is infamous for the huge Japanese cultural and business world in Düsseldorf. I was in search of sushi! I found some at a small (there are a lot of sushi restaurants along this street-straß) restaurant where locals and tourists alike flood the small tables. To my left was a girl eating dinner alone. I decided to open up and started chatting with her. I learned that she was from Berlin, a flight attendant, who had lived in Japan for a year and spoke 3 languages. And, she is only 20 years old. (sigh) We spent a good two hours eating and chatting about life and our interests etc.. It was really fun. At the end of our meal, she noticed that she didn't bring her credit card to pay for her meal. It was at the hotel across the street. She was a flaming color of red while I paid for both of our meals. Afterward, we made it to her hotel where she paid me back, and then some (I kept refusing) and parted ways. It was a great day.

The next day I had one mission in mind and that was to see the Barbarossa's Castle ruins in Kaiserswerth, Düsseldorf and some light sight seeing. After seeing the ruins (which was closed even though it was supposed to be open-argh!), I made my way to the Zoo gallery.

Barbarossa's Castle ruins

Dory and Nemo!



This is as close as I was getting the the snake pit-Yuck!




I really enjoyed Düsseldorf but I cut my time short by one day and went home that night. I had fun but I was ready to pack this weekend in.

He told me about his grandfathers history in the war and how the Germans who were not Jewish basically turned a blind eye or really didn't know or want to know about the holocaust going on. He then went on to tell me about how other Europeans view Germans.

He told me that they are always and we think always will be viewed at as first Nazi's and then Germans. My friend told me that a few years ago Germany won some sort of fütbol championship thing and of course everyone was celebrating on the street. Not everyone was happy though. Those that lost were not celebrating, of course, just like in any match situation. In any case, he said that the other Europeans in the city (and this goes for other places in Germany), sneared and screamed out 'Nazi's'. I gotta say, I was shocked at this comment.

Never once during all my study and learning of German history did I ever think or classify all Germans as Nazi's. I am not naive to think they do not exist because of course they do (all over the world unfortunately) but to call people that word out right is very daring.

When I asked him what they did, he replied, 'Nothing'. There is nothing they can do as no matter what, this will always be a negative spot on their historical records. He advised me that most times Germas just feel shamed and try to move on as they can't deny the past. I have been told this over and over by people I talk to. It is one of their biggest shames.

I personally think it is sad but The Third Reisch regime is an important part of world history that should not and cannot be forgotten but to keep placing blame is a bit much. So far, I have encountered no nazi's and have only been shown kindness and respect from my colleauges and society in general in Stuttgart and places I have visited in Germany. I am fascinated however at how much inter-European hostility there is. People (I'm talking North Americans here) have this assumption that Europeans are extremely laid back. On certain levels I would say yes, but they (the people I have encountered) have the same greivances like everyone else.

Why did I hate it? I can't really tell you. I just didn't get a good vibe from the city as soon as I got off the train and it lasted the whole time there. My time there was spent like this:
-Arrived and found the place I reserved to stay for 2 nights
-Went to tourist information but it was too early so I took pictures of the Kölner Dom and waited
-Went on a boat ride along the River Rhine
-Walked around and took pictures in the Alstadt
-Went to the Museum Ludwig which I actually liked (shocking!)
-Took a hop on hop off bus and toured the city
-Had lunch at a chinese restaurant
-Went back on the tour bus
-Went to the infamous Imhoff-Schokoladenmuseum (chocolate factory). Bought some lovely and the best chocolate cake I have had to date
-Walked around the city
-Went to the hostel
Day 2
-Was going to take the tour bus again but stopped by the DeutschBahn to see if I could leave earlier the following day. I found out that I could go to Düsseldorf (my next stop) any time I wanted on any train I wanted.
-Elated, I ran to the hostel, collected my stuff, checked out and took the next train out of the city
-Yes, I was that unhappy and bored with Köln.

Here are some highlight pictures of my experience in this so called party city.

Kölner Dom

Cruise along the River Rhine and the Hohenzollernbrücke bridge

Expensive flats along the water

Views from the river

Pics of the city

I love this photo as it was barely 10am and people were already downing beers. Gotta love Germany!

Shots from the chocolate factory, Imhoff-Schokoladenmuseum
