Ulm - 11 March 2011

Today trip is Albert Einstein's birthplace... I was so excited to see the big "Ulmer Münster"...  I read that it was a great example of Gothic architecture and it was the tallest church in the World... I and my group tried to conquer by climbing up to the tallest part of this church... There are three stop of the church... When we arrived at the first stop, I started to feel very cold and freezing... (+_+)... Luckily, I brought a set of shawl, cap, and glove... (^.^)... Until the second stop, I started to feel amaze of the structure... We all started to take picture as memorial that we had ever conquer until that level... \(^o^)/... Once we finished take picture of it, we continued to climb to the top part of this mega-structure... The path way is very small where only one people can pass... We climbed to the top by queuing and our first people would give sign by shouting, "GOT PEOPLE WANT TO GO DOWN... THIS TIME IS BIG SIZE ONE..." or "GOT ONE PERSON GONG DOWN, IT'S A GUY AND HANDSOME..."... That was the funny moment during the journey to climb up to the top part... It made us forget about the tiredness of climbing this mega-structure... Once I reached the top part, I really had nothing to say because every single houses is so small... (O.o)...

Once we finished climbed up this mega-structure, we went in to the cathedral... Inside the cathedral, the situation was more amazing... Once we went inside, the air was cold like in air-con room... The interior of the cathedral was really really really AMAZING... That was the the first time I went in to this kind of cathedral before... I really amazed and started to take out my camera to snapshot every single corner that I felt amazed...

After we appreciate the old and great cathedral, we went to find places to get our lunch... On the way, we saw a lot of nice store around the cathedral; start from the yogurt, chocolate, candy and ice-cream store, until the liquor store... At the end, we found "KEBAB STORE" where the meat was chicken... "KEBAB STORE" usually sell beef or mutton, it made me could not eat it...

Kebab and rice

Once we full up our stomach, we continued our journey by searching store that sold "Albert Einstein" chocolate with his trademark the tongue... At the end, we found a nice liquor shop, from the outside it had my favourite colour which is purple... Inside the store, there was a lot of nice bottle shape...

We end our journey in Ulm by buying chocolate with the Albert Einstein picture on it... Before we left to the bahnhof, we saw something amazing which was a "huge" music box... The old guy will give a candy for anyone who give donation as a thank you...

It's a huge music box where it can't be found in Asia
