Dusseldorf

Very slowly I will write here about my big Italian journey. But firstly I have to mention my first stop that I had in German city Dusseldorf (on my way to Italy I had stop there for 10 hours).

Dusseldorf met me with awful weather, I even didn't want to leave the airport (which is simply amazing). But walking around airport for ten hours didn't attract me, so I bought some worm clothes (because it was +13 and rain outside!) and went to the city. I have to say that while planing going to Italy I didn't think what to do in Dusseldorf, that's why I arrived to city without any Idea where to go or what to do.

What did I see in the city? Buildings, churches, bridges - everything so typical for Germany that I was totally bored with it. But also I didn't see any history in this city, any spirit, what for me very important.

Totally disappointed I decided to do only one stop before going back to the airport : I wanted to see Rein (river).

Maybe weather influents me a lot or for germans historical center and "zentrum" are different places, but when I saw DuDo from the river side I almost fell in love with this city. Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to enjoy that place, but I did have enough time to change my mind about the city.

At the end i understand that Germany isnt "my country". Ive seen 4 different cities and so far liked only Berlin, but Berlin isnt Germany. For me Germany is too right, everything is in the order, is very clean. At least Im russian, i need some mess in the world around me)

Welcome to Berlin

I spent almost three days in berlin and i must say that this city is just amazing! oh god, i already miss it.

To go to berlin i took a bus from Hamburg (45 euro only there and back) - never do it. German people don't know that it must be warm in the car that's why the temperature in the bus was around +4. Than i arrived to the main bus station in berlin - it was quite confusing because i immediately got lost. Thanks god my host was very passioned and kind and told how to get to the subway.  I must say that public transport system is awful here, even worst than in hamburg.

When i finally met my host we went to see some main landmarks of the city. I liked berlin much more than hamburg. Berlin is very bright, there is a lot of space there and weather is better) We saw Reichstags, berlin wall, Brandenburg gates, tv tower, and many other places (you can find all of them in the city tour))
Than we went to my host's place. I didn't expect that it will be a campus))

Next day i spent walking through the city alone - i saw the biggest part of the berlin wall, museum island and museum of modern art which is called Hamburg railway station (weather became worth when i came to this museum))). Everything there was strange but the good thing that i saw original works of Andy Warhol. It is worth of spending some time there. And don't forget to take any prove that you are student - with it you'll have 50% discount in all museums.
When i get home at evening my host told that we are going to CS party or even two)) It was crazy. I met a lot of people from all over the world, we talked about so stuff and drank a lot. I don't remember how but somewhere the the middle of night they asked me to give them a russian lesson (actually a lot of people there spoke russian more or less). Then we went to another party where everyone was drunk already) Some guy from Luxembourg decided to propose me, and german people asked me to teach them rules of drinking vodka))) But when all of them went sleep, me, my host (who lived in russia for more than year) and his friend turned on russian rock music and sang some songs)))
Next day i slept till  2 (for the first time in my life i put on alarm so late)), and went to the main bus station)
Oh, i miss berlin so much...
