We had 2 days of spare time, in our Munich Trip as the Training got over on Thursday, and we had planned to come back on Sunday. So it was planned, by Sandhya & Manu to visit the castles on day one ( Friday) & Salz burg on Day 2 i.e Saturday. The Castle Trip : The castle was in Fussen, for which we had take train from Munich to a junction and then change the train and head to Fussen. The interesting thing was we changed the train within 3 minutes at the junction. The trains were calm as usual with less people on it. There were many tourists mostly Chinese on the way. It was a pleasant trip and we landed on Fussen. We had to take the bus from there, and went in reached the destination standing in Indian style(not on foot-board !!!). The Neuschwanstein Castle & Hohenschwangau castle are the twin castles standing on top of the small mountain across. They looked beautiful and majestic. We went to the ticket section and got to know its mandatory to ticket the 'guide' wit...
During my first day in Munich,one of my colleagues accompanied us as the city guide. After showing some buildings which were destroyed and reconstructed post World War,he then said some words which I sum it up in the below way: "The world war II was fought in Europe mainly and Germany was the center stage. Many people died in the war but because of Hitler and the extermination (Holocaust) carried over by then Nazi German, we felt the guilt. We were ashamed of Germany and we dint show our Passport to any one. Our parents instructed us to speak in low voice and maintain low profile." This was the most interesting thing I encountered in the entire trip. To accept the mistake done by previous generation and live with that is not an easy thing. We as Indians never take any mistake on us rather we think the other way. We always say India was a very great country and it has a history of more than 5000 years. We say that India was a rich country, with great intellectual value...
