Visits to Stuttgart

Early morning, in the weather about 5 degree celcius, we walked to the train station, bought the ticket and head to Stuttgart. It takes 1 hour 43 minutes to reach Stuttgart train station. Zhang Ley was there waiting for us. She is dl's friend from Stuttgart attending Hope church in Stuttgart. She is a student from China so we communicated with Mandarin and sometimes i don't know what she is talking about because those Mandarin is too deep for me to understand them. Hahhahaa...

Then we head to a chinese restaurant called Mulan to eat, it was really delicious as i could taste the taste that i used to eat in any chinese restaurant back in Malaysia. Zhang Ley is a sweet girl and she talks a lot too.. hehehehe...

After a full meal, we went on to the King Street in Stuttgart. Wow, i tell u, the people there was like ants if look from far. So many ppl walking along a very long street, really a lot of ppl. In Albstadt where dl is staying, it is a very small town and there ain't so many ppl but in King Street, i'm afraid of the crowds... In some smaller road, we have to squeeze ourselves and walk. Basically there are all the shopping centres in King Street that makes it popular.

Zhang Ley brought me into a candies shop and asked me to choose some chocolate, she wants to treat me, oh, so good... i can't do anything but to say yes after rejecting few times. So i choosed 5 chocolates only, hahahaa... i can't take so much because i don't feel good that she have to pay for it and i must control myself not to eat too much chocolate, it will make me fat as my mom said i already put on weight when she sees my photos from this blog. OOooooo.... hard work when i go home, need to start my diet program again... kekkekeeee

Then we continue to walk and saw many kind of dogs, i'm very happy that dl is into dogs nowaday and even memorizing the breed of dogs so as we walk along the street and we will say the breed of the dog together and try to figure out what type of dogs if we didn't seen it before. One of the night, we actually spend time searching for different dogs in the internet. We walked through the park and the lake and saw ducks and swans. Zhang Ley brought me into a necklace shop and bought me a necklace. The same thing, i couldn't reject after trying so much.

Pic 5: A baby rottweiler. The origin of rottweiler is from Rottweil in Germany. That's why Rottweiler is named after the place.

After some walk, dl called another China friend, Zhang Yi and we got to meet because he was around King Street with his mother who came from China for holiday too. Zhang Yi speak cantonese back in his hometown, it was perfect cantonese and i admire the slang of this China cantonese so much... ehehhee. After meeting we went to an ice cream shop to talk and spend some time there.

Before we departed with Zhang Yi and his mother, we saw this group of band playing on the street outside the train station. When Zhang Yi and his mother left, we went near to the band. It was amazing as i like music very much, i enjoyed seeing them play...

Pic 8: This is a Husky mixed according to the master... hhhmmm... does it look like one?

Then we took a train to head to Hope Church trying to meet some of the ppl there because Zhang Ley said there are some meeting going on earlier but when we reach, there isn't anyone there anymore. But i got to see the place that Sally is staying next year when she married there. The church is downstairs and Sally's house will be at the 4th floor.

We continued to walk along the street there and walk back to the train station before we are too late to catch our train and realised that we still have few minutes so we walk up the top of the building and have a look at the busy Stuttgart.

At last, we have to depart with Zhang Ley too, thanks to her for spending her time with us. It was very nice to get to meet her eventhough some of the word that she used was too deep for me, hehehehe...

Once again, we are up in the train, couldn't get any seats so we sit on the stairs at the entrance of the train for a while before we get seats. It took 1 hour 43 minutes again to travel back to Albstadt. On the way, dl actually met his junior in the train heading back to Albstadt too...

It was very cold in Albstadt because it is situated in a hill, its 5 degree celcius and dl got Johannes to pick us from the train station instead of walking back home. Hahahaha.. Good choice and thanks to Johannes for his willingness to fetch us. Otherwise it will be very cold till i can't stand it too eventhough i wanted to try how is it like to be in cold weather. It was too much, so how will it be if it is winter??

We cook our dinner and watch a movie at home while eating, as usual... And went to rest. It was a very tiring trip but it was an eye-opener to me to see what a busy city Stuttgart is. I personally still prefer Albstadt. Just like in Malaysia, KL is a hectic city where there are so many ppl like in rush hour especially during working hour.

Okie, that was my visits to Stuttgart.
