Day 2 and 3 and 4 - Munich, Salzburg, Rothernburg and now, Frankfurt

Hey folks...

As promised, am writing again from Deutschland. Am now sitting in a cybercafe near the hotel, trying to get used to this computer keyboard. Damn it! It's so different from the normal English type. Anyway, it's now 10pm and it's only about to get dark. It has been a HOT HOT summer where at one point, when I was in Rothernburg, where my sister is now, the temperature reached it's peak at 38 celcius! Damn it! I could have stayed in KL and get that kind of heat! And here, there's no ABC, cincau, sirap limau to quench my thirst down. I am so wanting to go home... hehe.

Did I tell you that i've lost weight a little? I guess lugging the backpack contributed to it. Thanks Amir! Though I dont get to run with you, at least it keeps me in shape a little. I know I need to play catch up. And you Rizal, stop running so much!

Ok, back to my trip. Of all the four German cities I visited (ok, ok... Salzburg is in Austria... yes abang Jril, it is where the Sound of Music was filmed... hehe), Rothernburg touches my heart most. Quaint little town, I must say with only about 12000 population! Goodness! And everything was so relaxed. Wining (or more like beering for them Germans), eating at the patio, waiting for the cuckoo bird to come out at the town's Big Ben... everyone looks happy! With me practically spending substantial years of my life in the hustle-bustle KL, it was a soothing experience to have to do things at a slower-pace. Honestly, it's nice. It's nice to be able to move slower and to think wisely. Guys, this break makes me think. Really. Off all the things I've done. Especially on why am I so 'gigih' at times. I know Nertasya is smirking.

Alright lah. I gotta go. I need to sleep early tonight. Am visiting a museum tomorrow. Cultured-kan? Hehehe... It's one of the things that I wanted to do. Some of Monet's valuable masterpieces are on display in Frankfurt museum. I dont want to miss them. Got this 2 day Franfurt Am pass that enables me to travel anywhere within Franfurt via train, bus or tram for only Euro 12. And ya... discounts to many museum entrances.

Till then. As the Germans would say, Jooz, Afi da zein!

And oh ya, the Germans are friendly, contrary to the popular belief of them being nasty and arrogant. That's more of the French? No? Wait till I get there.
