My Dream Holiday
My dream holiday will be a taking a trip to Germany. A land filled with culture and history, i have always wanted to go to Germany since I was in secondary school, in which I was deeply immersed into the history of that country.
Why Germany?
Well, one of my favorite bands is a German Metal band called, Rammstein.
I began to like the language itself and how the words are being pronounced are just simply astounding. I haven't met any German friends before, therefore going to Germany will not only be to enjoy the sights, but also educating myself of the culture of the German people. And I might catch Rammstein's Live performance!
Talking about the sights in Germany,
we can also mesmerize ourselves with the architecture in Germany.
Other than old gothic churches such as this, Germany also house early modernist masterpieces of the Bauhaus movement. As an architectural student, it brings me great honor laying my eyes on these architectural beauties.
Other than what you see,
you can also experience the wonderful tastes in Germany.
German sausages!
Germans from the capital city of Berlin eat potatoes with bacon and spicy sausage. Sauerbraten is a large roast made of pork, beef, or veal that is popular throughout Germany, and is flavored in different ways depending on the region. For example, in the Rhine River area, it is flavored with raisins, but is usually cooked with a variety of savory spices and vinegar.
Lastly,
before I leave Germany, I would visit...
The Jewish Museum in Berlin
One of my favorite buildings in the world, the Jewish Museum. The jewish museum was designed by Daniel Libeskind, an architect that I adored since the day design became part of mu life. Visiting this marvelous building of emotions would be a dream come true.
At every corner of the building lays the emotions and feelings that was experienced by the Jewish people of Germany, and during the holocaust.
Every plane, at every glance, houses deep meanings behind it. Experiencing it first hand would further educate me on how architecture and emotions come together to form something magnificent.
