Straight from Germany
Sunday, May 20, 2007
I'm typing this post from an internet cafe in Germany. It's really a different experience and a bit of a culture and language shock. Every single sentence is in Deutsch (German) and I sometimes struggle with simple things like ordering for a meal. The phrase 'Wie, bitte?' has become one of my favourite phrases in Germany. It bacially means 'Pardon?' I do need it when I get lost in a string of German words. Haha...
Nevertheless, it's a wonderful country to be in. Deutschland is ein größ Land und hat viele schöne Kirchen. I have been to the churches in Köln, Münster and Bonn, and they're really an eye-opener. The churches looked very old, as if they had already built for more than a few centuries. I must admit, the churches just took my breath away as they looked very impressive.
However, the tour guide said that some of the churches were actually rebuilt after the war, since most parts of Germany have been destroyed by bombs during WW2. I was pretty amazed that the Germans were able to rebuilt most of their buildings in such a short period of time.
Oh, I've been eating Bratwurst(fried sausages), Brot (bread) and Eis (ice-cream) almost everyday. The Germans really love them. I'm fine with these though I'm really beginning to get sick of it.
All right, I gotta go. I have to catch a train that leaves in another 30 minutes. I'll update again soon, hopefully! Tschüss!
