Mrupupup went to Germany and the Black Forest region in the area. The most memorable part of the Germany trip was the trek in the Black Forest region in early morning hours of 6am just to see sun rise and the Cologne Cathedral! Amazing that a group of people would wake up so early in the freezing cold of the morning. Do check out the photos of Germany.

Bought these two sweets from Hokkaido, Japan. Very nice. 1) Milk Sweets from Hokkaido, Hakodate, Japan. Beautiful place with many Russian Orthodox churches and tree lined streets. Thats why the sweet packaging got church design. Nice harbour area also. 2) This strawberry flavour sweet from the Hokkaido country side region which has a population of brown bears. Nice!
