Hello again finally found some time for myself in the hostel on a rainy sunday afternoon.
I just got back from a short weekend trip out to Rothenburg ob tauber, a pretty fairytale-like town in Germany. It almost felt like christmas was here. But the magic only happens in the night and early morning before the streets gets flooded with tourists. Really glad I chose to stay the night.
I went there alone this time cos the other exchange students were out to Amsterdam. It felt nice to be on the road alone again. I particularly love riding on trains alone and the german country side is so amazing.
Anyway, here are photos of the medieval walled town. (i've visited a number of medieval towns during this trip to europe but Rothenburg is the cutest imo). So so magical.
The youth hostel that I was staying in
Fall colors...
Rented a bike for a day to ride through the valley outside the walled town
Lovely christmas shop displays
Rothenburg specialty - schneeball! Didn't taste that good though.
On a sidenote, the chocolate/dairy products/desserts/cakes in germany are so much more affordable and look so much more appetizing than in Singapore that you just can't help but give into temptation all the time and we've been stocking up a lot on rittersport and ice cream and yogurt each time we go to the supermarket...
Also, i'm so glad the intensive seminar is over. I don't know if I'll pass (I really hope I do) but I felt so liberated after the final exam that I decided to pamper myself with a 18.95 euros Japanese buffet with Sum on Friday night! (Because we were the only ones left in mannheim... the rest were in amsterdaaaam) Finally legit asian food! No pictures taken except this pathetic photo taken in the dark with my lousy phone camera.
And finally a picture of my campus! (p.s. photo taken by another friend on exchange)
Post more next time!!!
