Germany - Heidelberg and Munster

This is the view from the top of the castle in Heidelberg. We took a laborious climb (for xueli and i) and took a long time to catch our breath. however, i think the climb was worth it, coz we can see most part of the town area! the new friends we made in Heidelberg acted as our guide. In the last photo, i had a weird expression cause while the photo was taken, i was being molested.

This is the place we stayed in in heidelberg. The hosts were friendly and we were their first couchsurfers! I think the place is very well decorated! and i would kill to have an attic like that. Though i walked into the ceilings multiple times and the sun will shine into my face at 7am daily, it felt very homely and comfy! And there's xuelun trying to act like a scene from some play.

xueli and i making ourselves VERY confortable on the couch. It was freezing outside, hence our polar bear suits were out in full force.

Top: Xueli and I ejoying a nice COOL glass of alt bier. Its actually dark beer with peaches! Surprisingly, the zest in the beer adds to the flavour of the peaches and vice-versa! Bottom: The lady in the centre is Claudia, whom hosted us in Munster. She's one of my favourites because she's very pleasant to talk to and somehow i feel very confortable with her. She also introduced us to many of her friends and we spent lots of time chatting. According to her, she's one of the shortest among her friends..hmmm...

We had a nice meal at this lady's home. She was wenqi and xuelun's "mama" when they had the emersion programme a few years back. She made Spargel (which is actually white asparagus) for us and it was so delicious, everyone had seconds!
