Germany Postcard


Postcard from the land of beer/wine/alcohol
The stamps below look so cheerful. It certainly brightened up my day :)


The postcard shows various views of seascapes, monuments and large sailboats.
Okay, the first thing about Germany that came to my mind was alcohol.
Having watched Travel Living Channel, the hosts and travellers often enter pubs, clubs, even chocolatier shops where they do use and consume quite a bit of alcohol. And also not forgetting,
the Berlin Wall. A symbol of backwardness.
Of a mentality that oppresses people.
I'm glad the wall has fallen.
And also, I'm reminded about Nazism and the man who started it all.



So its time to view Germany with optimism and on the happening things on-going in Germany.
A little googling magic led me to www.germany-tourism.de
What I found out had my mouth hanging in the air.
There's much to be seen.
Art and culture
Land of music (Beethoven was form there)
UNESCO World Heritage Sites
Of Course, the Berlin Wall
Sports and Hiking
Castles

The list is endless.
I quote 

Experience new things, have fun and relax.Vibrant cities with amazing architecture, fabulous shopping and pulsating nightlife. Enchanting medieval villages and traditional wine villages with friendly festivals and regional specialities. Picturesque countryside which is perfect for walking or simply relaxing in. Castles, palaces and abbeys that are the epitome of German romanticism. Fun & sport, wellness & relaxation. A land of a thousand possibilities."


To Clara, Thank you for the postcard:)
