From Abroad

On Friday our agenda was to attend a university lecture, visit the triangle where the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany meet, and watch a German movie.

To get to her lecture we rode bikes (so Europe- I love it.) and after a 15 ride through the countryside we came across this massive fortress. I stood, jaw dropped, in awe of the building she calls her classroom lecture hall.

The place was MASSIVE and looked so techno-savy, like it was copied from a sci-fi movie. Everything was modern. The inside had escelators, sculputures, and clear signage.

The architecture was so magnificant. Surly this was built in the last 5-10 years, right?!
Imagine my shock when Sonja told me it was built in the 70?s.

For this exact reason, Germany intimidates me. It?s so far ahead of its time.
Recycling bins are all over the city.
Everyone I met was bilingual.
It has a woman in its highest political position.
It takes a stance against war and has efficient public transportation.

No wonder Germans love to travel so much. Everywhere they go they travel back in time.
