Updates from Deutschland

I know, I should blog as frequent as possible. But sometimes it takes a little too long for blogspot to upload my pics... And the photo I post here, is different from my FB! :D

Let's start from the Wednesday we went to Wiesbaden to shop and wine festival :)
We took a train there which cost us 4.80 Euro per pax. Gosh! It's a group ticket and god knows why is it so expensive! Whatever, since we are kinda late, we have no choice but to take the fastest way there.

The ticket vending machine and the information machine

The buildings along the stations we passed

The station looked so old

what an old style train. They are still using the whistle to signal it's ok to go!

At Wiesbaden

we went to the wine fest again :) This round we bought some food to eat 

 

This is not as nice as Schloss Vollrads ones

 

The best grape juice I've ever had!

After spending some time in the wine fest, as there were 2 lady sitting beside us telling us stories and stories, we are kinda late for shopping. However, we did go to shop! Zara is having off season sale @ 4.99 euro and above. According to Williams it's a shitty brand in Europe. I wonder why is it so expensive in M'sia. Me and Vivi went to Zara, Mango, H&M, and many other shops to check out. I didn't get anything in the end -_-
So since we were busy shopping, I totally forgot to take any photo at all. That's me.

I nearly bought a pair of boots at the mall near Haupbahnof but the lady told me my Timberland goretex is perfect. So I give up to buy that pair of boots which may costs me 70euro. Then we took a 830pm train back to OW with a transit @ Geisenheim. I was scolded by an Old Fashion German lady in the train coz I on my mp3 in broadcast mode. Niama.

@Geisenheim

When we arrived at OW, it's already kind of dark and we still had to ride our bicycle back! So we decided to ride against the way coz it's dark and we thought that it's safer that way.

On 19 Aug, I went to the local authority office to register myself. The purpose is to tell the ketua kampung that I am staying here. It is located on the hill and I am half dead after riding my bike up there. I did not have a map on my hand, all I rely is the signboard :) Williams and Alan went there earlier without my knowledge. So I got to go there myself after class.

The office was at the end of the road and all I see after the office is unlimited vineyards!

it was a sunny day

I was mesmerized by the scenic view and I rode all the way to get the best view of the vineyards ignoring where I was going actually, coz since as long as going downhill, I'll be able to find my way home :)
And here I present the superb view! Behold for these great sceneries!

Superb ain't it?

Outside a winehouse

I can cycle and take photo at the same time already. haha

Finally I reached the Kran!

me and my bike at the Kran

 

ducky family spotted along River Rhein!

And on the way back, I saw a tree full with apples! I do not dare to pluck it anyway...I'm chicken hearted.

Well, it's a shame that I had to self capture my own photo so cannot deliver a nice pic of myself with the superb view. This is because I like to wander around alone and I'm actually lost when I came down from the vineyards on the hills. Luckily I met Varun and he told me which way to go :P

It's time for bed now. I shall post about Rudesheim Wine Festival on wed. There's a presentation tomorrow, and it's in Deutsch!
