Heidelberg - Germany

Another random fact:
cars here mount curbs like crazy, cos i think it's a standard rule to mount curb if you wanna park your car. someday i'll take tons of photos and post it up. i laughed like crazy whenever i see cars mounting the curb happily. =D maybe it's a requirement during their driving test to mount a curb correctly. HAHA

our guide told us that people at that time drink wine and beer everyday, so they have huge wine cellars to store all the alcohol. haha! and there's this king who is permanently drunk and super plump i think. =x
