Germany - Wilkommen

I've been busy entertaining Jims these few days (ceyhh..sorry Jims I pinjam u sebagai alasan. hahaha). Plus Adilah is back..and I may have to surrender this laptop to her by tomorrow. Bye bye to the internet connection :( Lepas ni daku layan Gym Ball je lah...Dah lah fon pun takde :((

I departed from Girona airport at 8.45am and arrived Bremen airport at 11.00am. Was quite worry coz I know nothing to speak in German except Wilkommen. And to know that one single word doesn't help at all kot kalau sesat ke ape. So I searched for a public phone and called Wawa and was relieved to know she was on her way...

Wawa picked me up at the airport and we went to the Bremen city. My first impression on German was - it looked similar like Zurich - but a livelier version of Zurich. I was impressed to know the amount of halal restaurant in Bremen itself. Banyak! Dan murah okay!!! A small pizza will cost you around €2.50. In Cork, the smallest pizza u can get (in Dominos la) will cost u €5! Tak aciiiiiiii.


Bremen Hauptbanhof

After lunch, we went to the factory outlet in Bremen. Wawa ni memang kijam oo...Wa sampai2 sudah dibawa ke factory outlet. To name a few factory outlets there were Esprit (the biggest. paling heaven. paling merosakkan purse. haha), Adidas, Nike, and...Lindt (the chocolat!)

Went back to Wawa's place later that nite. Took about 1++ hour from Bremen to Osnabruck..


Le Crobag. Choco Sahner Kakao yummyeeehhhhh

The next day we took train to Cologne (Pronounced and spelled as Koln in Deutsch) In Germany, the main mode of transport for travellers and most of the peeps is train. They have express train, not so express train. Everywhere also train train..huhu..Cologne was a small yet a very nice city. Aaina, Wawa's friend from Hannover tagged along with us on that day.

Our first stop was Lindt chocolate museum. In that museum, they told us the history of chocolate from A-Z and even made comparison on total of chocolate consumption in some countries around the world! Costed us €5 to enter the museum using the student card..


was raining almost all the day in Koln..


total chocolate consumption. Mine was holding Ireland and Wawa was holding Germany. Wahh..kalah Ireland ni..


we get to taste the waffle dipped into the hot chocolate. damn deliciousss..


mencapai chocolate besar...mahu~~

After the museum, we toured around Koln city to the Hard Rock Cafe. Wawa..kite tak tangkap gambar kat HRC Cologne ehh???? And went for a lunch at the Kebab restaurant nearby.

Towards the later of the day, the crowd was getting bigger. At one point, I was separated from Wawa and Aaina. There I was. Phone-less (my phone was and am still in Dublin, remember??), speak Deutsch-less and clueless. The rain was getting heavier and I went for a shelter at this one small place. Time tu terpijak pulak lopak air membasahi kasut Adidas baruku yang baru dibeli semalam (hahaha..perlu ke??) I was hoping I could see a glimpse of Wawa or Aaina from there but was to no avail. I searched my own way to the Hauptbanhof (luckily the sign was big enough for me to find) and headed straight away to the public phone.

The problem was...I don't have Wawa's phone number! So I called Mihah (who already reached Cork at that time) to get Wawa's number in her phone (coz I contacted Wawa using Mihah's phone when I was in Spain) Thank God I have this small ability to remember some phone numbers! Before Wawa came to "get" me, I met Kak Haizum and her sister & bro in law! Hilang sedikit rasa nervous + nak nanges. Hahaha..

We had dinner in Nordsee before we took train back to Osnabruck...


Wawa and Aaina..


Yummyeehh prawn!
