10:43PM - Hamburg, Frankfurt my first trip to Europe
A visit to Europe has always been my dream.. The only thing that I could relate to Europe is through media channels. So finally, to visit the flood control event, i have finally step into Europe.
Well this wont be my only trip to Europe.. Its just the beginning....
11 November 09 - After almost 14 hours of flight, super hungryy.. After checking in at Mercure Hamburg,
My first buffet breakfast.. Yummy
From hotel cafe, 
After freshen up, Monica and I decided to take a walk to Hamburg Central... Well, its autumn now and its cold.. 6 degrees ..
Nice shots near the hotel 
Hamburg Central is just 3 train stops away.
When we reached, we saw yummy bread and sausages.... Ooh... how can u resist these yummy sausages..
Mon and I decided to share the yummy fries and sausages... 
After filling our tummy up with the yummy fries and sausages, we started our expedition and took a couple of nice pictures of the architectures...
Well, I have always imagine myself dressed in my warmers and walking in the cool/cold streets of Europe.. At last, dream turns reality..
This does resembles the SMRT buses right :P
After a pretty long exploration, its dinner time!.. We found this nice restaurant to have our dinner
Slurp - Yummy French Onion Soup
I had Turkey and Mushroom with Yummy Baked Potato! while Monica had her steak :P
Smiley faces after a hearty meal
12 November 09 - Visit to the Messe Hamburg event and National History Musuem in Hamburg
Along the way to the congress, we took pictures ...
I simply love the colours of the flora ...
After visiting the show, we had a little time , about an hour to visit the National History Musuem of Hamburg. This museum if I remember correctly was constructed in 1900.. i must say its a little "Creepy" and Monica didnt dare to visit the washroom...:P
Here, the history of Hamburg was told.. how a maritime port transformed into a city over the years... And how some of the early immigrants (Jews) "contributed" to the development. 
13 November - Frankfurt.
Monica and I took a super early flight from Hamburg to Frankfurt for the mtg with VDMA.
I had this super "hard" sandwich and capuccino before catching the flight..
After the mtg at 1pm, we had some time to roam around Frankfurt central before catching an evening flight back home. I do miss home and friends, and of course G :P and with the jet lag.. its really bad!
Mon has been to frankfurt a couple of times and she decided to bring me to this lovely restaurant that serves very good pork knuckles (apparently its not available in Hamburg) 
= infront of the restaurant...
and yummy draft german beer.. (well, i paid EUR2.50 for a 330ml of water ... so its more worth while to drink beer as you can get it for the same price!!) .. This explains why everyone drinks BEERRRRRRRR.
The menu and the real thing
= SUPER YUMMYYYYYYYYYY, Slurp
Oh i must say this waitress is super efficient. Its a one woman show i.e. She is the bartender, cashier, and waitress.. I am IMPREsSED..
Some pictures taken at Frankfurt Central
Before heading to the airport, Mon insisted we must have the "Nutella crepe"
monica next to the crepe cart.
Shiok!!
