Passionating Adventure: February 2019

Hello guys,

Apologize for not showing up lately. I was kinda retiring from writing for a quite long time surely. However, do not worry as for now I decided to come back coz writing makes me happy and I really like to share all these beautiful experiences of mine to the world. I believe the universe gives to those who share.

In anyhow, Today I will talk about my last year holiday in Europe (Germany mostly) for 14 days. I spent 14 days in total from Christmas 2018. Thanks to my amazing friend, A German, I successfully gained the Schengen visa to visit her country and of course, West Europe (Netherlands, France and Germany).

Generally, I have a very impressive and positive impression during my visit in Germany. How could it not be ? Basically, they have a very systematic and 'ontime' public transportations from Bus,Tram,Train, etc and so on. Roads are very clean, access to park and greeneries is super easy, Fresh air is everywhere even in the city (It is not going to happen in my country especially in the big city, lol). You can also drink water during shower, drinking from the tap and yeah, fill water in the toilet which is so uncommon for European themselves (Except for myself ;p lol). At first thought before I came to Germany, What was in my mind is that Germany is a western country so food must be very unhealthy like hamburger,pizza and so on. In contrast, they are really healthy !!! High quality crops and meats are very accessible and cheaper than other countries I visited in Europe (France & Netherlands), Dairy products ? CHEAPEST as well! You definitely not able to purchase yoghurt for 20 cents in Asia !! Not to mention, they always have this promotion decks where all the products are on sale!

Since my friend live in Stuttgart, I managed to travel the cities around this city such as Frankfurt, Darmstadt, Oberstdorf and Heidelberg. In my opinion, they are all amazing and unique. If you like skyscrappers view, go to Frankfurt. Stuttgart is more like modern city but not too sophisticated.. you can still feel some traditional and modern life mixed together which makes it comfortable. Heidelberg is more have traditional feeling regarding the architecture like old 1800-1900s eras, however not all it's just most. Darmstadt is very peaceful in some place and cool in the city center with a lot of stuffs.

As this is a flashback series, I cannot seem to remember all. But I was fond by the architecture, cuisine (I tried many type of sausages from brown to white) in instance pastas, vegetables, salads, steak. I recalled myself finishing the tremendeous pork knuckle in Oberstdorf (Thanks to my dad's recommendation). Food is very natural I would say in Germany, they do not use much MSG and just high quality and natural products to cook which I really like cause I love healthy and natural food.

One thing though, I think I won't survive much without my friend's help.. Services is good however people seem to be cold and direct at first sight. Of course, out of this stereotyping there are still some kind people who left like an old mate who greeted me in a church out of nowhere in Stuttgart. And main thing is people do not really speak english here and prefer to speak in German which is very understandable for those who do not have English as their first / mother language.

In resume, I will leave you guys some pictures of mine which is very memorable and wonderful ! Thank you for visiting and reading guys ! Till next post ;)
