姆米谷駐台大使館

When we arrived in Frankfurt, it happened to be Goethe's 200-year-old birthday--now you probably know how old I am. The whole city was celebrating and had loads of souvenirs relating to this master, all expensive. Postcards were the only thing I could afford. This saying is "a correct answer is like a loving kiss."

(keine) Lorelei

Well, the real Lorelei (羅蕾萊) is actually a cliff, a rock. This was just a sculpture beside the rock. Since we were in Frankfurt, we dicided the famous Lorelei was a must-see and went there by boat. I chatted on the deck with an old German, listening to his repeated speeches about the vineyards his family owned before the World War II. However, according to some mistaken lag, I missed the cliff! What a shame! That is the joke of the title: keine Lorelei (no Lorelei). Let's hope I'll be rich to visit Germany again in the future, then I'll be able to tell you if Lorelei has such a dangerous charm. :p

Schloss Neuschwanstein (新天鵝堡)

This castle is named after a swan but this swan is a tiny ornament that I almost neglected. How weird. :p What impressed me most was the king's passion for fairy tales and his originality on the design of hot tap water through the castle, which was quite a breakthrough in his time.  The small castle at the distance is Schloss Altschwanstein (舊天鵝堡).
