I can't forget that day as we watched the Fasching or Carnival in Velburg, an interesting town in Bavaria, Germany. It was snowing so hard at that time and later it was raining too. That was really fun watching participants of the parade in different attires and costumes. You can also see in the background the Rathaus or Municipal Hall of Velburg with the big watch. This building has nice architecture and I also love the color combination. I guess the snow also add beauty to this picture..I love Fasching festivals in Germany!

I can't forget this day that I first stepped on this beautiful country of Germany. Today is my 6 years in Germany. I am happy to live in this country. At first, it really made me feel sad because I was away from home and my family. But now, I am already use to it and considered this country my new home. It was difficult the first time because I don't know a single word in German. In fact, I just learned the language after more than three years of living here. Late in 2006, I attended the so called Integration course. I have to go to school to learn German language including its history, culture and tradition, its people, politics and most of the things in Germany. After some months of learning German language, every participants are required to take the final exam. I am proud that I did not!

I also learned that health insurance is a must in Germany. There are also different kinds of insurances here. I guess there are private companies that offers cheap term life insurance quotes here. I also have life insurance and other insurances like Accident, liability. This is a good way of investing money too.

I am a German citizen now and I did not regret for being one. For six years of living in this country, I can say that Germany is truly beautiful. I love it here!

Some people might think that Germans are boring people! Not really guys! German people love to have fun also. In fact they have different festivals and celebrations every month in any parts or cities in Germany. Whether it is a Fasching, Volksfest, Sommerfest, Trachtenfest, etc. or the famous of all the Oktoberfest, Germany is a great country full of fun and excitement. That is the reason why I love it here! Here is picture taken during the Fasching Festival in Velburg.

This is already my third visit in the so-called Parthenon in Germany named Walhalla. It is like a Hall of Fame where famous German people like scientists, politicians, martyrs, artists and a lot more are housed inside this neo-classical building. It is located in Donaustauf, a town near Regensburg in Bavaria, Germany. As of now there are around 130 busts of people here.

I know that I don't have the chance to be included here guys..wink! Beside that I might find now the best wrinkle cream to wash away the fine lines that are slowly building on my forehead. I am not growing younger anymore. Anyway enough with this beauty thing. I wish to share more photos next time. Have a wonderful afternoon!

Here is another picture of Kallmuenz. It is a small but beautiful town near our place. That small building in the middle is a memorial for those who died during WW II in this place. Their names were also encrypted inside this memorial. That red building is the old Municipal Hall of this town. Sometimes we go here for grocery shopping but most of the time go walking. It is around 15-20 minutes drive from us.

Today is a very amazing and fantastic day for me. We had the chance to visit one of Europe's biggest festival which is the Landshuter Hochzeit or Landshut wedding. We had a great time going around the place, seeing people dancing on the street wearing the medieval costumes and depicting the early scene in 1475. It was truly a great day today. I will give you more update tomorrow guys ..It's midnight again! have fun viewing the photos here!


the historical medieval costumes wear only every 4 years during the celebration of the Landshut Hochzeit...I got photo with them..I'm so happy! a lot of people were so nice and friendly today.

there were a lot of people from different places in Germany and from other countries too who witnessed the Landshut wedding!! background are the colorful, old but historical buildings in Landshut.

i wish to wear their nice costumes one day...wink!

I need help from the experts about some information of this historical Stone Bridge in Regensburg, Germany. As I searched in the net, I came across the official site of Regensburg and also sharing the information about this great architecture. You can also visit their site for more information.

The bridge's construction was financed by Regensburg's merchants and began in 1136. In 1142, its patronage transferred from the Duke of Bavaria to the King (or Emperor) of Germany. His successors from the Babenberg dynasty, Duke Leopold IV(1139-41) and Duke Heinrich Jasomirgott(1143-56), continued to support the bridge-building project.

It is also an accepted fact that King Konrad III influenced the continuing construction. And last but not least, the residents of Regensburg, foremostly the merchants, were highly interested in the new traffic connection and certainly contributed to its costs. Later, the Free Imperial City of Regensburg was registered as the owner of the bridge, and this is perhaps a indication of the large share held by the residents in its construction. read more here.

I really don't feel like going out yesterday because I was a bit tired..but my feet just get itchy that I need to go somewhere. After we ate our great lunch we decided to visit the Bürgerfest in Regensburg, Bavaria. This is the first time that I attended this festival which takes place every two years...(if I am not mistaken). I have been to this city for more than 20 times but this is first time that I visited this very lively and fantastic celebration. People were everywhere especially around the old city. You can see a lot bands playing their music in every corner of the streets. German festivals will not be happier and merrier without the beer tents and kiosk that sells food, drinks, bratwurst and a lot more.

It seems that the night is getting over again. I will give you more updates about this tomorrow. feel free to visit my other sites...have a great evening to all!

there were people everywhere..even the bridge down under in Steinerne Bruecke also had a lot of people. ..you can see a lot of kiosks and tents where people celebrate. I can't imagine how many thousands of people visited this festival since Friday until it was over last night.

The weather is still not getting better until now. It has been raining since Sunday in Hohenfels. We use to go walking around when the weather is sunny and friendly. You can see in the picture here the very nice walking way that we have. This is where we take time to have some exercise and watching the beauty of nature around. This is also one thing I love about Hohenfels. I hope that the weather will be better soon so that we can go walking again..or else I might force to buy an elliptical to exercise at home. This might be a great alternative. Right guys?
