wilkommen in münster

im now writing from the little town of münster, germany ((:
its been a loonngg journey here. 13 hours of plane ride, plus a quick transit to a 4 hour train ride, before getting driven to our home sweet home for the next 3 weeks
the weather here is purrrrfect. who's gonna complain with natural aircon and dry climate?
though a little colder than i expected, due to the stormy weather this week
but temperatures are still tolerable, from about 8-21 deg (:

so the first day in germany was spent mainly traveling from place to place
i've uploaded a few pics for those who've been asking me NONSTOP to do so :P hahahaha
this part of the country is really beautiful. together with the cool weather its just heaven.

we passed many rivers while on the train, including the rhine river, and the aasee river


they were just amazingg.

here're my travel buddies on the train..



finally, my room for the next 3 weeks (:

really very pretty, with internet access and my own private bathroom (:
its cool and cozy

we're staying with familie lührs, and their house is BEAUTIFULLL. seriously.
its a typical german suburban house, that encompasses both modernity and a tinge of country-side style
built completely from scratch by the man of the house (:
including this awesome garden:

i really love it here (:

last but not least, we've been "given" each a bike

which will be our main transportation (other than the car) for the next 3 weeks

during dinner with the family at some really nice arabian restaurant
they told us that, in the small city of only 350,000, there are 700,000 bikes around
guess i'll be biking a lot these few days (: hahaha
