Braunshwieg

Welcome to Braunschweig this time.

In English, this city is called Brunswick. This is one city I ventured myself. At first sight as alighted from the train station, it was a boring sight. I was worried that I am going to be disappointed. Lucky thing is that it was just the city border.Bet you cant guess what this place is. Haha.

It is actually a shopping centre and it is a grand one.
The Cathedral of Braunschweig is awesome. This seven armed candle of Braunschwieg is of central importance in Christian Symbolism. Some of them are like the Seven Sacraments, the Seven Archangels and the list goes on. The front view of the candlelabra. It isn't Jesus on the cross. It was actually This man Victor who was known to have the holy face. The famous Braunschweig Lion, Henry.
They even had sewers with him on it. I guess it is almost everywhere in the city. The inside of another church I went. I cant remember the name though. Colourful street of Braunschweig. The Obelisk of Braunschweig. People having fun in Braunschweig.

Frankfurt

Welcome to Frankfurt.

This is a city which is more commercialize than any other cities that I have been too. But certainly, there is still beauty within the commercialized city.
The first artistic bridge that I encounter in Frankfurt. The park by the river. With many girls running in the park, I am this park is a good place for a run. My friend and I at the park by the river. River view of the city. The city view is indeed nice that it looked like angels falling from the skies. Cool shots under the bridge.
No pooping by the park.

I will start with the artistic portion of Frankfurt before I head on to other.
This is the preserved Rathaus of Frankfurt.
The under-maintenance Cathedral.
We headed into a museum of alien and this is what we have got.
My friend frightened by the alien.
Myself attempting to make a call home.
Commerce street of Frankfurt. I did not venture into the area though.
Lastly the place is quite known for their red light district. It was just across the train station. This Dolly Buster Centre is a store that sold movies, and there was something very interesting inside. They have covered cubicles that will play porn movies and best of all, there is a box of tissue in every cubicles for... erm... you know what. Lol.

Tschus!

Lübeck

Welcome to Lübeck. A pity I do not have much time in this place. Pardon me if there is too little pictures on this beautiful city.
This is the famous gate of Lübeck. It is printed all over in their famous delicacy called the Marzipans. Maripans are almond coated chocolates. The handsome lion before the gate of Lübeck. The Rathaus of LübeckMore nice jumping shots.

Lüneburg

Welcome to Lüneburg this time round, this is my favourite city of all cities that I have been in Lower Saxony. Beautiful city! That is me across the busy main street.The Rathaus of Lüneburg. Many gather and sit around to chill mainly because of the cool and low humidity weather. If it were in Singapore, you will never get such a sight.
This is me at the top of the water tower overlooking the whole of Lüneburg.
I told you I suck at jumping shots. My friends are better.
The churches here are beautiful. Take a look at their ceiling. They have posters of this picture selling at €8. I had it for free with my semi-dslr. Candles makes peaceful artifacts for pictures.
Nice pictures in the churches. Flowers too make beautiful scenery around the world. Lucky I was around there during spring. I am so loving Spring. I shall visit Europe again in Spring.

Some pictures that I though have beautiful contrast with colours.

Bremen

Welcome to Bremen this time. This is a place where my doctor is dying to go.
That is me at the Haup bahnhof. Me at the bridge connecting to the city centre. And this is doctor happy with his box of chinese noddles.
Then again, this city like many other cities, has many beautiful structures. The picture
with the animals stacking on top of each other is the main sight for Bremen. Within the church are also beautiful. A picture of kids giving their offerings. This is one of my best take away picture in the church. Germany in general has very beautiful garden. This is one of those beautiful ones you will get to see in Bremen.
This is where Doctor found some of his friends of Werder Bremen.
