September 18, visit Goethe's former residence

Goethe House is a beautiful luxurious apricot yellow 2-story building, is said to be at the Weimar Grand Duke gave Goethe.

Small building surrounded by half-metre tall ochre color fence surrounding a lush scented garden, an interesting look after the garden with a pool and blue reflection of several strains of dark green pines and a tall Ginkgo, looked deep tranquility, smth.

His father was the Emperor consultants, mother was the daughter of the Mayor of Frankfurt, the Goethe in the 18th century at the time, is one of the elite family of Frankfurt.

Goethe here and spent his childhood and youth. The young Victor troubles "is creation in this four-storey house, at the same time, he also started his" Faust ".

Goethe are closely linked to Frankfort, solely from the city that many to Goethe's building, named the Goethe Street, Goethe Tower, Goethe, and so on, you can find the figures on the profound impact of Frankfurt.

19 September back to Beijing

By plane from Frankfurt, I still fondly remembers the silent deep clean urban, classical and modern feel wonderful fused together, but did not feel awkward.

This trip is a bit of experience and lessons for everyone to refer to the following:

1. Germany's tour, the toilet is a real problem.

If you use a McDonald's in the street, and other fast-food restaurants of the toilet. Germany's Department store in not every floor is equipped with toilets, and generally in the topmost layer of the nearby restaurants. Use the toilets are generally free of charge, but if you have the best cleaners, leaving 50 ohm Division tips, to show my gratitude is also a kind of etiquette. Some of the station's toilet use, if not input 20-50 ohm, the door will not close. Sitting in front of train travel, get off at the first convenient for the car. If you are just passing through large hotel Hotel, you may also wish to put on a pair of guests look openly to the waiter asked "where is the toilet?" Usually on the first floor or ground. In addition, you need to know in Germany some toilet door there will be "00", so as not to worry and could not.

2. the shop's opening hours daily from 9: 00-18: 00, Saturday 5 pm to 14: 00.

Some of the local ordinary to 18: 00, Saturday to 12: 00. To major cities in the big shop-some shops in each month of the first Saturday also opening up to 16: 00 (summer) or 18: 00 (winter). Similarly, the weekly Sunday open until 20: 30 shops. Sunday, holiday, as usual.

3. Germany in autumn there will be rain, often it is difficult to imagine carrying a backpack and then hit the umbrella, so if the rain, a light rain coat will facilitate a lot.

4. Frankfurt has its own unique culinary culture, most special drink is Ebbelwoi (Apple wine), the most unique food is Handkase mit Musik (with music by the hands of cheese), this is immersing in the oil and vinegar and Add onion cheese, when the thick mixture in the human body produces a natural gas and release, this is the so-called part of Musik.

And in addition a special sauce was Goethe's favorite, called Frankfurter Grüne S e o β (Frankfurt green sauce), in fact, it is mixed with many European vegetables with milk and mayonnaise or sour cream modulation of sauce, and potatoes, beef or chicken eggs to eat together. Taste it, a matter of time.
