), so I was wondering, which foreign countries did you guys visit, and what were your experiences?I've been to Germany (Berlin) and UK (London). (I've also lived in the US, but that wasn't traveling so it's a completely different topic)
I loved Germany. Berlin is so beautiful, so much history for a WW2/Cold War buff like me, the public transport is fantastic, and many people spoke English, so it was easy getting around.
I loved the palace complex in Potsdam (it's right next to Berlin so I'm not counting it as a different city visited
), the Brandenburg gate was magnificent, and the Pergamon Museum was breath taking (yes, I went to Germany to see Greek ruins. Also the Babylon gate was really impressive and stole the show for me, too bad when they took a picture of me with the Babylonian wall art, they were shaking the camera....all 3 times).Of course my favorite museum visited was at Checkpoint Charlie I was really amazed what people thought of to get to the other side. Of course what amazed me most, was how that guy was stupid enough to try to get his wife through the border by having her in the passenger's seat covered with a blanket. Though what really amazed me was that it worked. How dumb were the guards? Oh well, good for the couple
.And my favorite part about my trip to Germany, German food (insert homer simpson sound of thinking about food).
What seamed strange to me, was how many places were selling parts of the Berlin wall....for ridiculous amounts of money (can't remember right, but I think it was 10€ for a rock?). No idea what was stopping people from going and breaking off a part from the wall itself
Hardly a work of art, that humanity is going to miss.I fell in love with Berlin. I'd move there, if I could stand the German language
. Saying Ich liebe dich to women just doesn't sound "cute" I'll later add my experiences in London
.So, where have you traveled abroad, and how was it?
