Bundesrepublik Deutschland: Day 3½: On the way

This must be a unique title to everyone I'll say confidently.

Why day 3.5? 3½? Three and a half?

Well well, it's because I just feel that this is so significant and wanna put this as part of this travel blog as well.

Finally we get a quite good location, a train, where we can spend a night in by sleeping quite soundly, and NOT by sleeping somewhere in the airport, hence saving a few euros as well! Thanks to Kenny's effort!

In the night, Kenny and I get the 3rd level - the highest, which turns out to be quite fun as well, as we get the biggest storage space at the top! L.O.V.E!!!

Then after spending the whole night, I wake up, kind of quite early, the next morning, which is the morning of our Day Four =)

Train is still running slowly over the land of Germany, and we pass through so many green grasses, which means that environment is still preserved and conserved somewhere in this developed country of Germany. Well, amazement is the summary, really!

As I see the sunrise in the train, I feel a new hope after this Germany trip.

Anyway, may be the pictures will explain my feelings better. Enjoy!

The elegant night at the Munich station =)

Nyiao...

That's me! And this taken at the following morning =)

Sunrise

(Sonnenaufgang)

Sunrise in Germany, over the window of the train

Can you see some dirt over the window?

Hofbräuhaus

The Staatliches Hofbräuhaus in München

The Hofbräuhaus in Munich inspired the song "oans, zwoa, g'suffa"

Outside the brewery.

The live band in this special brewery.
I think the most painful fact to know is that  you are surrounded
by beers but just cannot have a single drop of them! Grrr..........

At the entrance.

Final destination: Berlin, the capital of Germany!
