The Moments of My Life

Last weekend I spent in Bonn and Cologne with my friend Lucka.The weather was just like created for the sightseeing so we tried to make as much use of time as possible...Saturday we started with the gorgeous breakfast with a BIG milk coffee... Morning had a stroll around the down town in Bonn and afternoon moved to Cologne where we had a walk in the old town and along the river Rhein. Evening we joined Lucka´s German friends for the birthday party and had couple of beers. Sunday we decided to have loong promenade along the river bank in Bonn passed through several parks (including the Japanese garden) and afternoon went to Bonn’s suburb to a small town called Koningswinter where kind of festival took place...Besides sightseeing me and Lucka had various discussion which resulted in the following main conclusions...

• Many people( including myself) are (were) not a big fans of Germany in terms of tourism …Actually I really don’t know where this concept of boring and unimpressive country comes from...So far I have visited just few cities like Munich, Hanover, Bonn, Cologne, Dresden, Frankfurt and I must say non of them were boring neither unspectacular...It’s actually the other way round...Every single city had a respective atmosphere and beauty worth to see...Apart from that me and Lucka agreed on fact the life in Germany is really comfortable regarding the services and the living conditions generally...

• The indicators like: the ratio of time spent in the work /days of leisure time a year, the way how people (nation) balance the days (work/other nonwork related activities), the way how people (nation) enjoy the leisure time, the way of life of retired people truly tells a lot about the forwardness of nation and the country development generally...Compare to Czech republic and Slovakia in Germany you can see a lot more people jogging or walking in the parks, reading a book or newspapers on the benches, hanging out with friends in the nature, having picnic in the park, many more old people promenade, according to statistics people tend to spend in the work exactly 8 hours, people go on holiday regularly and use the official days off...At home (Slovakia or Czech)sometimes I have feeling that people have tendencies to omit the fact the life its not just about the work and career...

Regarding my plans… I am leaving for Anuga the biggest Food and Beverage exhibition in Europe on Friday for a week continuing with EquipAuto (Auto parts exhibition) in Paris till 20th of October...Really looking forward to see and learn again something new...

Tak zatím ciao
