One Month in Hamburg
It has been exactly one month for me living in hamburg and I thought that let me share with you all my experiences in Hamburg.
Let me start with the flight to frankfurt from chennai and it was the most boring 10 hours of my life, the best thing abt the lufthansa flight is that they gave the best Pongal that I have ever tasted.That was the only good thing abt the flight.The plane landed at frankfurt airport half an hour early and i had to wait for my connecting flight for two hours in one of the busiest airports.Frankfurt has nothing interesting other than lufthansa office and tall buildings and nothing is there for tourists.The hamburg flight was a better experience than the frankfurt one and i succesfully reached hamburg fuhsbuttel airport.
When i came outside the weather was a shocker, the sun was shinging but it was cold.They tell me that hamburg has the second worst weather after london.It rains here evey other day and it can also be called as the windy city but they call chicago as one.Hamburg has the second biggest port in europe after rotterdam in the netherlands.It is commercially number 2 after frankfurt and it is the newspaper as well as the night capital of germany.
There is no such thing as a typical german food but here people eat mostly meat and vegetarians are very rare and i find it very difficult to eat outside bcoz almost everything is served with meat.Here there are many doner shops which are run by turkish people and its a good place to eat good food.unfortunately the indian restaurants here are few and its very expensive.The food here is not at all spicy and i got a super hot chilly sauce which was not as spicy as chilly sauce in india.
The best thing abt hamburg is the transport.Everything is on time.The ferry ride is really good and the lake is the best place for adventure activities.
There are two temples here one is the Afghan Hindu temple and the other is the Iskcon temple and i haven,t yet been there.
Well thats all for now.
to be contd.........
