Germany

One of my friends is going on a business trip to Munich, and that made me start thinking of my trip there. During my semester abroad I went to Frankfurt, Munich and Berlin over my spring break. Not really expecting much, I was blown away by how much I enjoyed Germany. I was only in Frankfurt for one day, and it was raining for most of it. Still I managed to wander around a bit just to get the feel for the city. It is a beautiful city especially down by the water. The architecture is a mixture between new modern such as this shopping mall with the giant holes through it.

and old traditional.


Then in Munich I visited the world famous Hofbrauhaus. You are served by beer girls dressed in traditional outfits and serenaded by a lively band of men in tights. By the time you finish your liter of beer, trust me you will find Munich to be a very fun city...

This is also the home of the Glockenspiel. The most anti climactic musical experience there is.

Finally came Berlin. Berlin was by far my favorite city of the three as it reminded me the most of New York. I went bike riding through the streets and parks, had a tour of the remains of the Berlin Wall and experienced some of the craziest nightlife of my life.
