Guten tag!

Berlin Cathedral, Germany

Germany is home to the largest economy and the highest population of any country in the European Union. Being part German myself, I have always wanted to see where my family originated. The capital city is Berlin, and is home to over 3.5 millions citizens along with historic treasures such as the Berlin Wall from the cold war. The wall has been mostly torn down, but many different artists have decorated what is left over the years. The surrounding areas also hold famous weekly markets that have been around for decades that have supplied the locals with all sorts of goods and delicacies. Frankfurt is the financial capitol of not only Germany, but of the European Union. Another famous detail about this city is the transportation means. It is home to multiple large airport hubs and is the most populated junction of the Deutsche Bahn, or the German railway. The German trade fair is home to many huge fairs ranging from motor vehicles to books.
In Germany, couples will take a lock, and attach it to the bridge's
fence and throw the key into Rhine for love and good luck.
So, all the way across the whole bridge the fence is covered in locks!

  2. I saw that lock fence thing in the movie Hannah, I didn't know it was a real thing though. I'd love to visit Germany at least once in my life
