Also ein bisschen mehr auf das Zeug besuchte ich in Nord-Rhein-Westfalen. Ich habe nicht wirklich viel tun, weil in der Regel Sightseeing, wenn Sie annehmen, dass Sie irgendwo für mindestens 6 Monate aufhalten, dann würden Sie viel Zeit haben, um alles in der Freizeit zu sehen. Wie auch immer, eines der unglaublichsten Orte, die ich besuchte, war Schumanns Grab auf einem Friedhof in Bonn. Beethovens Mutter war angeblich auch dort beerdigt, aber ich hatte keine Lust, ihr Grab zu finden. Es ist etwas Ehrfurcht zu wissen, Sie sind zu Fuß in das Land der großen Komponisten unter, und wirklich zu wissen, Schumann unter der Erde stand ich begraben wurde einfach unglaublich.
The Schnuller baum, or pacifier tree, was a pretty funny sight I just had to take a snapshot of. Literally a pacifier tree in front of the children's hospital. Lukas and Lara finally gave up the freaking pacifiers thanks to that tree. I mean what type of parents allow a FOUR YEAR OLD to keep sucking on a bloody pacifier? It's downright harmful to the child and embarrassing. No more nookies sure was a relief. Actually, they went to the pacifier tree without me and then Anja told me off for not asking her how it went because she thought I should have cared more. Boy am I glad to get away from her.
The third photo shows the giant Cologne Cathedral, supposedly the most visited tourist attraction in Germany. It is pretty huge but to be honest kind of ugly in real life and not very impressive inside, either. After gorgeous churches in Paris like Saint-Chapelle, Notre-Dame and Sacre-Coeur, this one just doesn't strike me as that amazing. Cologne was still a nice city though, very much like a busier, bigger version of Bonn with the Rhine and pedestrian district and all. I visited Cologne twice to enquire about piano rental at the Bechstein store, and I really had my hopes up about it and then discovered they needed dumb things I didn't have, like proof of income and a visa proving I would stay for a year. Pretty annoying considering I spend like 22 euros on train tickets to and from Cologne. Oh well, still was worth visiting just to be able to say I've been to Cologne.
