Found some old pictures of the Cathedral in Cologne, Germany and thought I would share it with you. No one goes to Germany without stopping at the cathedral in Cologne, that was what my co-worker had said to me.. and when i complained that I had seen enough of Cathedral around Europe.. he was quite adamant that i go to this one. So i said.. alright.. and went.. and boy..!! was it magnificient..! Look at how intricate the architectural details.. and taking a closer look, you can actually feel gothic.. like the Adams family kinda gothic. It also made me wonder in awe about how much talent these people had. It’s a different kind of feeling from the cathedrals that i saw in Spain.
My co-worker told me that this was the pride of Cologne and this cathedral is a World Heritage Site. This is the most famous landmark in Cologne and one of the world’s largest church. It is opened daily to anyone and they even have a tour of the church for just 4 pounds.. but we were there when they were having some sort of special service, so we couldn’t go in.. and i was kinda disappointed. I had meant to come again another day.. but i didn’t make it back.
I honestly wished i had gone back.. and now looking back and hearing some of the magnificent statues and painting others see inside the cathedral.. i could really smack myself.. for being so lazy.. and complacent at that time. I don’t know when I will be able to go back to Germany.. but if i do .. you know where to find me.

September is round the corner .. and it definitely reminds me of OcktoberFest In Munich, Germany. It was all about drinking beer .. eating pretzels.. and fun.. loads of fun..! If you are in Munich .. during the fest.. you should go early. The tents are filled up really quick.
Look at the people waiting to get in.

Berlin Cathedral

It is an awesome sight.. the Berlin Cathedral. Yes.. it almost seems like i look out for these places to go to. But what can one do.. when you have a boss.. who thinks .. he was Michaelangelo in his last life. The building was nearing a 100th years old.. when i visited it. The history of the Berlin cathedral reaches back to the Middle Age.
Of course, Berlin is more than just the cathedral, it is afterall the heart of modern Germany, the old and the new seems to merge. The grand public buildings and museums that we went to were very awesome. We had many good evenings in the urban restaurants.. and ended up the night in pubs and we even visited some nightclubs with our clients. The city that is forever changing .. that was what one of my co-worker had said to me.. when were were there.
