NeighbourhoodHi everyone, I have started an online photo album and the pictures can be found at this site: http://picasaweb.google.com/mannheim08/
It is now 7.54pm in Germany, which is 2.54am in Singapore. I am still suffering from Jetlag actually. The first two days was well... very very tiring although there were lots of things to carry, do and see.
In terms of sightseeing, I spent the 2 days walking around my neighbourhood and in the innercity of Mannheim. Here are some pictures of my neighbourhood, and I liked the botak trees effect, it gives a very nice feeling to the whole thing.
The guy above is Hong Keat, he studies Chem eng and also arrived yesterday from Holland, where he spent 1 semester on exchange there. Now he is in Mannheim on one semester of internship with BASF. He's staying 1 block away from me and so the four of us went out walking within the innercity today.
Fasching (Carnival)
Actually Mannheim is not that ugly as what everyone claims, at least I found the innercity to be quite colourful during this weekend, because of a Carnival and parade that was going on, although it was not as grand as those Carnivals in Köln or Mainz, but still it was not bad after all. At first I thought it was a wedding because of the first pic below, but it turned out to be actually a march-parade. There were also games stations and rides.
Essen (Food)
