I have just arrived a few minutes ago here in Germany. Since the weather here is very similar to the weather in Chicago, I packed things that I would normally wear in Chicago. I brought my coat, long-sleeved shirts, shirts, hoodies, and pants. I checked the weather and it supposed to be cold (30s and 40s all week). My room is pretty nice because...

I woke up this morning to find out that the hotel had free complimentary breakfasts. So, I saved some money there. I took some pictures of the hotel so you may see how it looks. After I got ready to go to Neues Schloss (New Castle). I went to the lobby and luckily they had these things called "ten-journey" tickets which is a ticket that I can us...

For my last day, I decided to first attempt to talk to someone in the hotel. When I went downstairs to get some breakfast I had a conversation with someone, IN GERMAN! We said hello to each other. Then t...

After staying in Stuttgart these past few days, I decided that I would go out of town for the day. I found a city called Karlsruhe which had a few interesting places to go to. With the little time I had, I decided to go to the Karlsruhe Natural History Museum which has been there for more than 200 years. The museum was the city's first Renaissan...
