Well, I had been waiting for them so bad because I missed them so much, but to be honest, at some point, I hope the trip would be better if it's shorter..
well, that thought finally changed that it should have been longer!
This time, I had to be in time at the airport to pick them up.
I know I usually am late when I was supposed to pick up in Seoul, but it's different here.
They do not have mobile here, no knowledge of language.
and I made it. =)
firstly, I was so happy to see my mum,it was lovely. oh, and my brother.
secondly, yes there were a lot of things for me.
Not only my clothes, but also new things and food from Korea. "SUPER"
- For food and dirnks, I already finished more than half of them, so have no photos. schade.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The whole journey was
1. Mainz (31/01)
2. Berlin (01/02 - 04/02)
3. Basel, Schweiz (05/02 - 06/02)
4. Worms : FINALLY! (07/02)
5. Heidelberg (08/02)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Mainz
It was really pity that the first day for the trip was Sunday, and here in Germany everything's closed on Sunday!
We just looked around the Mainz Dom, City centre... etc.
Luckily one shop was just open and it was because of Carnival.
AND I'd got really nice costume for Carnival! SUPER GREAT
I will post photos from Carnival with the costume later. ;)
Well, yes, there was actually nothing really special happened on the day.
only, my mom really loved Doener Kebap. hahahaha
2. Berlin for 4 days.
When we were planning for this trips, they wanted to go to Munich for beer.(of course not only for beer) But I strongly recommended them to go to Berlin instead.
(1) It's capital city!
(2) well, yes I couldn't finish museum tour or whatever in Berlin last time, so I really wanted to go there again! and it's perfect chance!
Hostel was really great. Staffs were super nice.
Facility = perfectly clean. very warm. Free Wi-fi.
Breakfast was in cafe downstairs and not free but it was rather cosy and nice although the cafe was super small.
First day was not really important - oh, well, I met one of my friends from school and she was also heading to Berlin. Believe or not, our flight was same :P
yeap, Second day, we'd done the 'Free-Walking-Tour, Berlin' I had already done this tour in Dublin and it was okay. It's good to know the back ground of places, and FREE. so what's more you need? hehe
We'd been walking almost 5 hours visiting almost all the main spots in Berlin.
Our guide 'Maria' was awesome. She knows how to tell the story.:oh yes, she said that she studied ACT. haha
BTW the guy in black Jacket in the pic..He was super bonito :P - and saw him again the next day! MUAK
Although we walked around the city almost 5 hours, we couldn't go back to Hostel.
So, next destination -> Deutsches Historisches Museum
: When I came to Berlin for the first time with the Sommersprachkurs people, I missed it because I thought it was TOO boring, but it was found that totally MISTAKE!!
Now I understand why my friends told me that 4-5 hours in the museum was not enough to look around all.
Then, walked to the 'brandenburger tor' to go to 'Reichstag (hmm don't know how to call it in English.. Wikipedia says it is 'parliament of the German Empire') to see a night view of Berlin city.
The Third Day,
to the East Side Gallery. In September I came here with Soo, and the Wall was not yet filled with the paintings. I mean it was not finished yet.
But this time, it was full. How nice!
I remembered that there were even some continuous paintings to the ground, but because of snow couldn't see them again.
ANYWAY, it was really nice walking along the wall, and the weather was perfect.
- Question,
Have you ever expect that you could bump into someone you know in one of the biggest city coincidently?
After walking, we went to Ostbahnhof chilling out with some icecream and nice coffe and lemon juice...
Then, we were looking for U-bahn or S-bahn to go to centre again, and I saw someone I might know, PATRICK! He came to my university in Korea for summer school. He told me he would also be in Berlin for a few days so maybe we could meet up, but not in this way! What a surprise!! It was really a KRASS. never expected.
Well, the third day's finale was with Pergamon museum, neues museum and Alte Nationale Galerie. Well, I am too lazy to write all about things, so will not mention about it, but only thing...
"Pergamon museum is THE BEST. It is AWESOME" - I can spend the whole day there.
Oh, the special dinner were Eisbein, 1Mass Bier, Weisswurst and Sparelibs.
DAY 4, the last day in BERLIN.
Our flight was in the afternoon, but we didn't have enough time to go somewhere else to do sightseeing. So decided to just walk along the shopping district, but with boutiques. Oho.
Just looking the products, dreaming about it. hahahahahaha
But, guess what, sometimes dream comes true.
Well, all of sudden, my mum wanted to buy a bag from a shop there (Y). Well, yes it is A super expensive store even though I like the design, and I know my mum is not a person who can easily buy those stuffs. She said if it's less than some euros (well, some a lot though.. pheww) she could buy it! I couldn't really believe what she was saying, and thought it was joking. We went into check it, and, yeap, she bought it.
she even bought a red wallet for me. WOW
Well, I was really shocked actually about my mum's that shopping. but yes, she never spent money for her. always for me or my brother. she had not bought new clothes for several, more than several years. She deserves it.
And the thing I knew from that time, : 'She is also a woman. She also wants nice things. She likes also shopping. Who can blame her?'
And the simple lunch at the station right before going to the airport :)
Again, and,
Hallo Worms!
You know what?
on the first day we came to Berlin, I said that I met one of my friends at the station in Worms and we had same flight.
She had the same flight again with us to go back to Worms!
Nice huh? ;)
