My Travels in Germany

Good old Germany...Where to begin! I lived in Germany for almost two years and have been to just about every corner of the country. I've had both good and not so good experiences there, but overall it was a really great experience. From Berlin's crazy Love Parade in July, to Munich's Oktoberfest, and any number of music and beer festivals the people here certainly know how to have a good time.

The second world war destroyed Germany. Most of the old historic architecture and cities were destroyed, with few exceptions. Many buildings have since been re-built but even now you'll find construction sites repairing buildings that were destroyed in the war and of course many buildings which were neglected by the communists in the former Eastern Germany.
