Long overdue. From Germany

This post really should have been written two weeks ago.Don't ask me what happened. In fact, now that I am here and writing, I am actually wondering why this post also happens to be the first post for this year. Gahhh. Let's just blame the laziness for it, shall we?!

Soo, 2012 is here! Will this be the last year that mankind will witness? Nah. I don't think so.

Another year in the making and what a wonderful start to this year and this post, from Germany. The fascinating land of Germans is hard to describe in a few lines. In fact, I don't know how to. I am actually at a loss of words. Yes, this is how I am. Confused, mostly but somehow I find my way around things.

The first thing I noticed about this place, as soon as I got out of the airport was how freaking cold it was. I am still trying to get used to the layers and layers of clothes. But I like it. A welcome change from the humid and tropical weather. I am so glad that it ain't humid. 

It is such a visual treat everyday. The place has amazing architecture. Sometimes I just stand there and admire how beautiful the buildings and the churches are.

This is a picture of a church that happens to be on my way to work. I love the art that I am surrounded by.
More than that, I love how all this architecture appears the way it does because a lot of it was reconstructed after World War 2. Oh and this tiny little city of Nürnberg happens to have about 30 museums! I have to and I soo need to visit each and every one of them.

I haven't really started travelling and going around that much but the list is ready! Excitement, I tell you! The weather happens to be so cold that the first opportunity I get, I sleep. Don't judge me. Come here and experience the -21 degrees and you'll know what I mean. But I try and absorb as much as I can when I get the opportunity to. :) Soon, it shall be in full swing!

Oh and I just have to mention this. The inner city is full of amazing artists. The saxophones and the violins just make me feel as if I am living my very own version of a fairy tale. I haven't had the guts to stand there and take a video of the performances.I really really want to. But I get conscious. I walk as slowly as I can, so that I hear as much as I can. Standing isn't the most comfortable choice. Trust me! For the chirpy, out-there person that I am, I never thought I would be hesitant. But turns out, I am. Will overcome it soon. The traveler in me, nudges me to!
