Germany

How cool is this? A public alehouse stands at the Viktualienmarkt in Munich. The guy behind the bar draws many pints and 1-liter beer glasses (“Eine Maß”) in advance so that the guests don’t have to wait. A steady come and go, even I did a pint at noon with a portion of weisswurst (“Weißwurst”).

While visiting the Fujitsu Forum in Munich, I also used the time to shoot some photos. The International Congress Center is a top-notch modern building complex, well suited for significant events. It was a high-quality arrangement among others with presentations about blockchain and nex-gen flash storages.

The building on the photo was near the Spree, a river which flows through the city. I was on a hop-on-hop-off boat, where I could get out at the exciting locations. The area with those modern architecture buildings was a must for me. With the Spree river-trip, I had my Leica X2 and Leica D-Lux 5 with me, from time to time I like it, to restrict myself to a specific camera-brand or shooting style.  🙂

What did I like most about Berlin? The architecture and the Currywurst.  🙂  Both went hand in hand, photographing the modern buildings with a Leica X2 camera, eating at a wurst stand and drinking cold beer. That’s Germany!  😎

Attending the Citrix World Conference in Bonn was technically fascinating, but the fun part got not too short. The great attraction was this robot, named NOX. He could walk around, dance to music, speak with people, and had a good time. When he was in full swing with walking, the crowd in front of him cleared very fast. But he was a big guy with an iron heart of gold. 🙂
