Along the way, the scenery is more beautiful, the population is more sparse, simple and true, and the green is green.
Germany had waged two world wars, the Germans were rigid and serious, and German sinologists despised contemporary Chinese literature. Pingguo, like most Chinese, is not cold to Germany.
The only thing you know is its full name: the Federal Republic of Germany, abbreviated as Germany, commonly known as Deutschland, abbreviated as BRD. It is a parliamentary and federal state located in the middle of Europe, consisting of 16 federal states, with Berlin as its capital and largest city. The form of government of the country is a parliamentary republic. The Federal President is the Head of State. The Federal Government consists of the Federal Chancellor and Federal Ministers, with the Federal Chancellor as the Head of Government.
Now the current court is Chancellor Angela Merkel, a hard-core intellectual woman and a football fan. Look at the look in her eyes when she meets the football coach, it is simply an obsessive intoxication, more than a lover.
Germany was the source and defeat of World War I and World War II, and after World War II, Germany was divided into East and West Germany by the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and France in 1949. In 1990, East and West Germany finally reached German reunification.
The Berlin Wall fell and became a tourist attraction.
On 11 October 1972, the Federal Republic of Germany established diplomatic relations with China.
Because the trip to Germany only passed through the northwest and southwest half of Germany, and there was no chance to cross Berlin, nor could he go to the Berlin Wall to take a souvenir, so Pingguo basically didn't miss this country.
When he entered Germany, Pingguo took many beautiful photos of the countryside through the car window.
I can't imagine that there will be such a beautiful wilderness in such a developed German industrial base.
Under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums, you can leisurely see the charming pastoral scenery of Nanshan.
Entering the University of Bonn, the bus stops.
Mother and daughter walked through the beautiful campus, visiting the Beethoven House, Beethoven Square, the flower and vegetable markets, and the iconic lawns and buildings of the University of Bonn.
After nearly two hours of sightseeing, Pingguo returned to the campus of the University of Bonn, and waited with the separated Ping Hanhan in front of the meeting place.
God is helping, Pingguo actually lowered his head.
I don't know why, but Pingguo did bow his head at this moment.
Pingguo, I saw it, there was a small cloth wallet with a black Mickey Mouse on a white background on the ground, lying horizontally on the square bricks on the side of the campus road, so familiar and kind.
Ping Guo, the moment he picked it up in confusion, he understood, so he asked loudly to Ping Hanhan, who was about twenty meters away behind him: "Huh-the wallet in the backpack is still there? Look, this looks like my wallet!"
Ping Hanhan hurriedly checked the purple backpack on her chest, because she thought that she was carrying such an important wallet, she was afraid that her mother would feel uneasy, and for the sake of her mother's health and photography, since she traveled to Germany, Ping Hanhan often carried the backpack on her body.
In that bag, there was really no small cloth wallet brought by Pingguo - exactly the same as the one Pingguo had picked up.
Pingguo hurriedly opened the wallet he picked up, and when he saw it, it was really her wallet.
Inside, the mother and daughter's passports, ID cards, bank cards, credit cards, subway tickets, air tickets, and a few yuan, dollars, euros, and so on are crowded horizontally.
Immediately, Pingguo's mother and daughter were stunned, and they faced each other in confusion, for a long time.
Recovered. Unbelievable. Importantly, nothing is missing.
Moreover, on the sidewalk of the University of Bonn, for nearly two hours, it was left unattended.
In the eyes of Pingguo's mother and daughter, the wallet that was completely their lifeline was actually lost?
Then, two hours later, Pingguo was picked up again unscathed.
What the hell is going on? Neither mother nor daughter can tell.
Ping Hanhan said: "Originally, in Beethoven's hometown, I wanted to buy a souvenir, but I thought we had to go to several places? I don't think I lost it. Because I didn't open the zipper of my backpack at all after I got out of the car, and I didn't even unzip my backpack. What's going on?"
Previously, Pingo thought that the Germans were rigorous, serious, rigid, and tyrannical because she didn't like them, like being as cruel as Hitler.
However, at the University of Bonn, this encounter may show that the Germans have a feeling of being touched.
This kind of emotion should arise spontaneously.
Because how can such a person with the quality of a civilized country not be the head of the European Community? Look, it is unbelievable that a long-lost wallet can be returned to its original owner without losing anything.
What a mistake - Pingguo reasoned as if Sherlock Holmes "Well, it must have been when she got out of the car, when the princess accidentally took out her purse from the backpack that was carried diagonally on her chest and did not know it."
But Ping Hanhan was still at a loss, and his expression was quite innocent.
And then, of course, rejoice.
Really, if it's really lost, there will be endless troubles.
But in an instant, the peaks and loops turned around, and the earth collapsed and devastationed, and it was lost and regained.
You have to know that it is unexpectedly, lost and regained!
Thanksgiving, thanksgiving.
"In the dark, there must be God protecting you. We. Pingguo thought to himself: "I am grateful for the high quality of the Germans, as well as the blessing and discernment of God, hehe." ”
Ping Hanhan sat on the bench by the lawn, and said with palpitations: "Yes, Mom, I have already discovered that there are strange things along the way, dangers along the way, and inexplicable things along the way, all of which are with special people protecting our mother and daughter." Come on, sit down, rest for a while, and drink some water. ”
Pingguo walked over, sat down next to the princess, took the mineral water she handed over, and drank it.
Ping Hanhan pulled her sleeve, next to her neck, and said, "Mom, let me tell you about the characteristics of Bonn, Germany, you drink water slowly."
The ancient city of Bonn, Germany, is located on both sides of the middle reaches of the Rhine, 21 kilometers north of the city of Cologne, choking the throat of the upper mountains and lower plains of the Rhine. When you enter the city of Bonn, you will first get the impression of freshness, cleanliness and tranquility, with lush trees and colorful flowers everywhere.
The city of Bonn has a population of just over 300,000, but the city has more than 1,200 large and small parks and street parks, covering an area of nearly 5 million square meters. The forest covers an area of more than 40 million square meters. Remember to look down on the scene from the plane, the whole city is a sea of green.
Bonn is a famous cultural city in Europe, the University of Bonn was founded in 1786, is one of the oldest institutions of higher learning in Europe, the main building is a palace-like building in the Prussian period, the faculty is abundant, the teaching equipment is complete, the communist advocate Marx and the famous poet Heine have studied here.
Located in the heart of the city, the cathedral was built around 1050 and topped by a 96-metre-high square tower and is considered a symbol of Bonn.
Located on the top of the Goths Hill, Gothenburg is one of Europe's most famous ancient buildings.
Bonn's urban development is characterised by the large number of museums and cultural institutions. Beethoven, a musician, was born here in 1770. It was in that building that Beethoven lived for 22 years. In 1889, the former residence was turned into a museum. Beethoven's manuscripts, documents, and musical instruments are on display.
You've all seen all of this, right? Yes, we've disappeared from each other somewhere.
The Neanderthal skull, which was found in a cave near the Neanderthal River in Düsseldorf in 1856 in the famous Alexander Colin Museum, has been identified as an ancient man between apes and new humans who lived between apes and new humans 1 to 200,000 years ago, and has become an important milestone in the history of human evolution and has extremely high archaeological value.
Mom, did you know that Bonn is also a pilot town in Europe for "no traffic lights".
If you see a pedestrian crossing the road in front of you, the driver will take the initiative to slow down and stop to ensure that the pedestrian passes safely, and many drivers will gesture to the pedestrian with a gesture of invitation, and the pedestrian will return the look with gratitude.
Local police said drivers had undergone "amazing changes" since the traffic lights were lifted.
With no traffic lights to rely on, they had to drive slowly, always keeping an eye out for pedestrians on both sides.
Because the speed of the car has slowed down, the traffic is smoother than before.
It is said that local residents also said that there were too many guardrails on the streets in the past, but now there is no need to worry about them. As long as they are compassionate to each other, vehicles and pedestrians here can share the city's traffic. ”
Pingguo said: "It's great, why doesn't any city in our country dare to cancel the existence of traffic lights?"
Ping Hanhan said: "Don't be in a hurry, when the quality of the personnel is not up to standard, it will cause big trouble if it is canceled." Take your time~"
Pingguo looked at the princess and smiled: Really, grow up, my princess.
In Cologne, Germany, there are world-famous museums, priceless art collections, a vibrant art scene, an internationally renowned art market, and a mecca for ancient and modern art.
The Hohenzollern Bridge is a spacious and beautiful bridge over the Rhine River in Cologne, Germany.
The adjacent Cologne main train station, which is also one of the most important hubs of the German and European rail networks, is a very large building that is an indispensable part of the cityscape of Cologne and the view of Cologne Cathedral.
Ping Hanhan was full of interest and said: "Mom, it is said that the Roman Germanic Museum has a collection of archaeological finds in the city from prehistoric times to the early Middle Ages. The most famous exhibits are the mosaic of Rome and the reconstructed burial place of Roman legionnaire Poprietius. The world's largest collection of Roman glassware, as well as Roman and early medieval ornaments, are the highlights of the entire exhibition, from which you can learn about the various aspects of the ancient Romans. ”
However, Ping Hanhan continued to say regretfully: "We don't have time to appreciate the taste of grinding. ”
"Mom, this Cologne Cathedral is the most perfect Gothic church in the world, modeled after the Cathedral of Reims and Amiens in France, located on the banks of the Rhine River in the center of Cologne, Germany. The top pillar is 109 meters high, and in the center are two double spires connected with the gate wall, and these two 157.38-meter minarets are like two sharp swords, reaching into the sky.
Today's Cologne Cathedral, built in 1248 and completed in 1880, would never have been completed if it had not been for the retro style of the 19th century that swept Europe.
Mom, think about it, it would have taken seven centuries to build a cathedral without the same faith and perseverance of the builders who built it, and who were absolutely faithful to the original plan.
Consider the sheer scale of the cathedral's work, and thousands of drawings are still preserved today.
The construction period is 632 years long, which is the longest in the world.
In 1248, the French architect Kyle Harriet was invited to design and build Cologne Cathedral, and on August 15, 1248, the Bishop of Cologne, Konrad von Hostaden, laid the foundation stone for the cathedral on the day of the Assumption, marking the beginning of an era. The long-awaited moment for 25,000 citizens arrived, and the construction of a "world's first" cathedral in Germany's largest city at the time was a common aspiration of all – the rich donating money, the poor contributing, artists contributing their wisdom, and the rulers giving their full support.
Of course, it was on a smaller scale at the time, and its architectural form was extremely austere, using the architectural methods of the early Christian era. ”
Pinggo noticed that around the cathedral, there were countless small minarets, and the whole cathedral was black, which was particularly striking among all the buildings in the city.
The window paintings in the cathedral are also exquisite, beautiful, and allow taking pictures, cool photos for a while, enough to be old enough to shake the sleeping chair in front of the idle court, and slowly appreciate the body taste, hehe.
Germans love pork, and the famous German dishes are made of pork products, such as roast pork knuckle, ham and sausages.
The breakfast provided by the hotel is particularly rich in a variety of ham and sausage, but Pingguo loves their black bread and original coffee, and the coffee with milk is also very good.
In order to be full of energy, Pingguo had to drink his three cups of coffee every morning with swollen eyes.
A Chinese female student once laughed at Pingguo for drinking coffee from a teacup, and Pingguo smiled at her, and she really had to laugh at her.
Pingguo knew that if he didn't use a teacup, he would probably have to drink 6 cups.
You'll have to queue up 6 times to get your coffee, otherwise you'll waste time.
Ping Hanhan is very satisfied, eating such authentic pure meat ham, he feels like he has returned to his hometown, entered heaven, or made a lot of money.
Traditional German dishes such as roast pork knuckle and roast pork knee, often served with mashed potatoes and sweet and sour cabbage.
For lunch, stop at the famous restaurant under the cathedral for a Western-style group meal: roast pork knuckle. 20 euros for 1 person.
Seeing that others had non-roast pork knuckle, Pingguo asked the waiter to change it.
This way you can enjoy more delicious food and wine.
So, the waiter not only bought the mother and daughter a plate of grilled sausages, but also gave them a glass of German yellow-orange-orange beer.
Then, he raised his glass and said, "Let's wish you happiness!" Cheers!, in Chinese.
Hehe, mellow. Delicate fragrance. Full of flavor, authentic German beer.
Just look at the rows of bottles on the walls of the hotel bar to see how much beer is in Germany.
Ping Hanhan said: "Germany's beer and wine are also famous all over the world.
The annual consumption ranks second in the world, and the sales of beer ranks first in the world. Beer and wine are essential beverages in Germany, and friends must have wine to cheer them up.
There are dozens of grape growing regions, 60 large plantations, and nearly 3,000 small plantations in the country, mainly concentrated in the southwest and north of Germany on the banks of the Aer River, the Rhine River, the Seven Peaks and the Moser River.
Germany has beautiful mountains and rivers and a pleasant climate. It is said that the largest wine-growing region, neustadt, has 2,000 hectares of vineyards, and the green trellises stretch as far as the eye can see, and the whole air is filled with the enticing aroma of grapes. Mom, imagine what a beautiful view!"
In fact, Pingguo also knows that German beer can be divided into six categories: white beer, clear beer, dark beer, Kosh beer, export beer, and non-alcoholic beer.
Ping Hanhan wanted to ask for another glass of the famous German dark beer for his mother, but Ping Guo refused.
Pingguo said: "Save a little, I don't know if you will need a lot of cash later." ”
Hehe, when it comes to swiping cards or cash, Pingguo has lost his temper.
In Amsterdam, the Netherlands, the street bank went to withdraw 500 euros, but did not withdraw it, and the ATM prompted, NO. After a night, Ping Hanhan told Pingguo: "It may be that the withdrawal limit is set in advance, but under normal circumstances, you can still withdraw 400 euros at a time." ”
Later, Ping Hanhan re-set the limit, and it was successfully processed in front of the ATM of the University of Groningen campus bank.
In Cologne, Germany, at the request of Pingguo, accompanied by a clerk of a famous German knife shop and a young boy who studied in Germany, the mother and daughter finally took out 400 euros again, and the mother and daughter finally had cash again. However, there is still a need for a long stream.
Ping Hanhan smiled and said: "There are more than 1,500 kinds of German sausages, of which there are more than 780 kinds of boiled sausages alone, and the most popular ones are moist sausages, which include shelf-stable sausages and seasoned lean sausages. In addition, the boiled sausage also includes 60 different kinds of liver and flavor specialty sausages.
Sausages must be matched with bread, and German bread can be called the world champion in quality and quantity.
German bread is made with flour, but also with rye, oats, flour and grains. There are more than 1,200 types of fragrant breads, horn breads, figure 8 scones and baguettes baked every day in Germany, as well as more than 300 other types of bread.
Bread is the most important staple food that Germans eat three times a day.
It is said that Germans once ate an average of 81.5 kilograms of bread per person in a single year, the highest among any member of the European Union. Germans do not eat bread on its own, but it is served with a thick layer of cream, with cheese and jam, and sausage or ham.
Moreover, Germans love cheese, with more than 600 varieties, and cheese is a must-have on the German breakfast table.
Fish, sweets, pastries, etc. are also popular foods for Germans. Whether it is canned fish, frozen fish, fresh fish, smoked fish, fish salad, shrimp, fresh shellfish, etc., it is popular among Germans.
Germans have a light taste and like sweet and sour tastes. I love Chinese Lu cuisine, Beijing cuisine, and Huaiyang cuisine. I don't like to eat fish, shrimp and seafood. Do not like to eat greasy and spicy dishes.
Taboo your favorite number 13.

Look, Mom, Germans pay attention to rules and discipline like this, and they are very serious and rigorous in everything they do.
The Germans will consciously abide by whatever is expressly prohibited, and they will never touch anything that is expressly forbidden. That's why they have such a world economic status: the world's fourth largest economy.

The Nobel Prize in Literature has been won by Sédolph Monson, Hertha Müller, and many others.
The sculpture in front of the main building of our University of Sburg is Goethe at the peak of German literature in the 18th century.
Cologne also has a carnival, known as the "Fifth Season", which officially opens at the Old Market at 11:11 on November 11 every year. Second only to the Brazilian Carnival, its protagonists are clowns and madmen, whose grotesque costumes and unbridled manners are considered to be the biggest and craziest carnival in Germany. It will continue until the end of February next year.
The Germans, who have always been strict and rigid, finally went crazy at that time! I haven't had time to appreciate and enjoy it, and when I have the opportunity in the future, Mom, let's go with our mother and daughter, right?"
Looking at the eyes that were so longing, Pingguo smiled and nodded.
Pingguo said: "Tell me about German football. ”
Ping Hanhan laughed and said, "Oh my God, we really cultivated, and we have a good heart, Mom." I've really prepared for this German football issue. I'm afraid what if you ask me. Well, listen carefully.
Around 30 million people in Germany are members of sports clubs, and there are almost 100,000 sports clubs in the country. Football is the most popular sport in Germany, with around 6.3 million members, making it the largest football association in the world.
The German Bundesliga is the highest level of the league. It is the most popular sports league in Germany, second only to the National Football League in terms of average viewership per game.
The German national football team won the 1954, 1974 and 1990 World Cups, and the European Championships in 1972, 1980 and 1996.
Germany hosted the 1974 and 2006 FIFA World Cups and the 1988 European Football Championship.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel gave up Premier Li, who had just flown into Germany, at the critical moment of the 2013 Champions League, and flew to England to support her football club. ”
Pingguo asked, "Do you know who Peter Pan is?"
Ping Hanhan was a little dazed and said, "Mom, you know I don't watch football games." I'm sorry, but I was still asked by you. ”
Ping Guole said: "Peter Pan is Dutch, hehe." ”
