With few friends, we went for an outdoor climbing. It's my second time for this sport, but I was doing ok. :P Since Fede is the expert, I was not worried. It's fun to see how the experts climbed up the rocks with beautiful movements, while I saw no way to get up to those places.
According to the GPS, the place we went to is at
L591 Brochterbecker Straße
49479 Ibbenbüren
Germany
There was one place which we went first. However because of the moss and humidity, it was too slippy to climb. Maybe next time...
K24 Im Bocketal
49545 Tecklenburg
Germany
Since I bought the climbing shoes, I planned to go for indoor climbing every week during this business trip in NL! :)

Germany - Mainz & Frankfurt- 2008/09/13
To deliver the DVD writer for Dany, I visited my RSM colleague Jenny at Mainz. It's a nice and easy weekend. Taking a walk in Mainz was relaxing. Due to my exchange to UT Austin during MBA study, I actually hadn't caught up well with Jenny for a long time. Therefore I like and appreciate this weekend very much.
We went to a bar for a drink after dinner. I think this bar could be my favorite bar so far. First of all, it was a church with relatively huge space. Sitting on the couch with the high ceiling, I felt extremely comfortable. Secondly, since Jenny is a wine expert, we got a nice white wine. I love the cozy feeling over there.
Drinking at the balcony, looking at the full moon, smoking cigar, chatting with friends, somehow we celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival while we are far away from home. On Sunday, after the great breakfast, taking four bottles of nice wine from Jenny, we were on the way back to NL. Thanks for Jenny and Patrick's hospitality!
On the way back to Eindhoven, we visited Frankfurt. The city itself is OK. Walking along the river in a sunny day surprisingly made me to like a big city like Frankfurt a bit. :)

Germany - Dusseldorf - 2008/03/08
The main purpose of this trip is to go to a Japanese restaurant. Waiting in a queue about 40 minutes, my colleagues and I finally got in the restaurant and had the pure la mian. :)
NA NI WA
noodles & soups
Address: Oststr.55, 40211 Dusseldorf, Germany
Phone: 0211-16 17 99
After the late lunch, we walked in the city center, had great Italian ice cream, and watched the crowd drinking on the streets.
Of course we joined them, emptying the dark beers on the street.
Dusseldorf is a city good for shopping, so not really a place for me. However there are many nice restaurants!

Germany - Remagen - 2008/01/12
Remagen (*)
Remagen is a city situated on the River Rhine and used to be the former West-German capital. I thought it would be nice to have a cup of coffee next to the River Rhine. However when I arrived on Saturday, there were only one pharmacy and one supermarket opened. I walked along the River Rhine with some local people with their dogs... seeing the huge boats busy in shipping... but why the color of River Rhine is yellowish brown...
Comparing with other cities, Remagen is relatively small, but with many lovely and well-maintained buildings and churches, even back to sometime 13 or 14 century.
Along the River Rhine, I drove to Bonn, enjoying the views which I used to see in the train two or three years ago. However when the GPS led me to the city center, I could hardly breath... Bonn is a big city which didn't fit my feeling on that day I thought... then I escaped from it... spending two hours driving back to Eindhoven...

Germany - Frankfurt and Cochem - 2006/02/02 ~ 2006/02/08
Invited for a job interview in Germany, I flied to Frankfurt which was paid by the company. After the interview, I stood at the bookstore at the train station and chose Cochem as the destination where I wanted to stay for few days. Because of the low season, I was the only person at my room in the YH in those days. Sometimes when I woke up late, I would have my own small buffet ready with my name on the table. In general, I like the YH in Germany in terms of the cleanness and service.

Germany - 2004/09/23 ~ 2004/10/02
It's the first trip I had before the MBA courses started in Europe. Carrying my backpack, I took the train from Rotterdam. All the way I stayed in the youth hostels to meet people and experience the new culture and country. By the way, I was lucky to visit Munich by chance when they celebrated Oktoberfest. :P
