LOL~~~

This is the first 'unexpected' surprise. That man's wearing was so unique that we can't help laughing at him(in the back of him of course). not only us, but also the local Germans laughed at him too.

In case he beat me, i just took the picture in the back.

We were still in Germany...

BTW, Stuttgart is also where the Mercedes-Benz's headquarters locates.

The second 'unexpected' surprise.

Just right before we went for dinner, we saw a few cops arresting a thief! It looks like nowhere is no thieves.

The local's life is peaceful. it was Saturday we visited this city. all citizens went out on to streets for fun.

We had not seen this kinda version of 'S.M.A.R.T' before.

thx! i've just posted half of all....@_@

thx! thx!

这几天考试啊~~~

Next we went to Heidelberg. This old city is famous for its castle & bridge.

On the picture is a glimpse of the Heidelberg Castle, built in the middle of 13th century. This castle was seriously damaged in 1693, now it has been repaired. it combines Gothic(哥特式的), baroque(巴洛克式的) & renaissance(文艺复兴式的) style of architecture.

From another perspective we can see this castle more clear, this old building is the symbol of Heidelberg. Down the hill is the city.

Heidelberg is also famous for its university - Heidelberg University, which is very good at advanced technologies. we saw many college students of it in the city.

Heidelberg City

On the right is the Heidelberg Bridge. Along with the castle, this bridge was very common to be found on many post cards:) we got to there later.

Inside the Heidelberg Castle, scars left by wars(this castle was also 'hurt' during WWII) r everywhere. Not only this castle, many other historic site in Germany did not 'survive' during WWII. In the end of WWII, Germany was bombed by alliance force brutally.

Inside the castle, continued...

We entered the city. Along the river i noticed this tour boat and my eyes were captured by its design.

This pictures shows one of the most ordinary corner of the city. Actually i feel Heidelberg more like a town than a city. These houses don't belong to any 'millionaires', they belong to normal civilians. what's more, most of those houses have a history of over 100 years, and they were handed down from those house keeper's ancestors. like that, they were used generations by generations. U can feel what is tradition.

The narrow roads also reminds me of Florence, they were obviously built before automobiles come out.

Taken at the closest distance of Heidelberg Bridge. Not like the Heidelberg Castle, this bridge was COMPLETELY destroyed in WWII, now what we see here is the one rebuilt according to the original one.
