Ilm Cycle Path (2015)

Together with my father, I went on a cycling trip along the river Ilm with start in Ilmenau and end in the picturesque and historically important city of Weimar. It was my first visit to the county of Thuringia and I was very impressed by its huge number of castles and its very beautiful landside. There is nothing you can do wrong by picking this cycle paths. The food is delicious and the beer is extraordinary nice – I just don’t know why Köstritzer is just selling their outstanding dark beer in the rest of Germany, when their lager is just as good. By the way, it is a law to order a Thüringer Bratwurst wherever you are in Thuringia. I simply don’t know what they are doing, but their sausages are simply the best!

Hamburg (2015)

I haven’t seen my friend Zainul for a while, therefore I was quite happy when he decided to have a visit in Hamburg while he was working in Portsmouth. As he is from Brunei, there is always a bit of mess when getting a Visa. Nevermind, he took the chance and I was very happy to show him every corner of my current home town. We also took a guided tour with Sandeman’s New Europe, which was absolutely worthwhile doing. Although, it just shows you everything important on the way from the town hall towards the Hafencity, it was a very interesting and informative walk.

2015 was also the year, where I really enjoyed studying at the HAW Hamburg. I met so many new people and we went on some photo hunts together. Therefore, you can also find a lot of pictures from the St. Georg campus, as well as the Hamburg Harbour at night.

Berlin (2014)

As my friend Hauke just started his job training in Berlin, I dicided to give him a visit. After a four hour long coach journey, I arrived at the ZOB right next to the fairground of the Messe Berlin, where Hauke was already waiting. Together we spent the next days exploring the remains of the Spree Park theme park in the eastern part of Berlin, the night life, as well as other attractions of the city. We also saw the musical Hinterm Horizont together, which I can fully recommend to everybody.

During the time Hauke was at work, I also went onto a guided tour by Sandeman’s New Europe, which I can also fully recommend. As always the guides of Sandeman’s New Europe are doing a great job explaning every bit of the 2 1/2 hours walk without being too superficial as other companies often are. Although our walk never guided us to far from the Regierungsviertel, there were many interesting stories to tell.

As the tour ended nearby the cathedral Berliner Dom, I also had a look inside the church. Even if you are not interested in any kinds of religion, a look inside the Berliner Dom is worthwhile. The tour also leads you to the roof of the church, where you have a great 360° view onto the city. It is actually a far cheaper alternative to the Berliner Fernsehturm at Alexanderplatz.
