In a typical German raining day my host
was driving me to her hometown: Königsbrunn, just about 15km from Augsburg.
The trip was really short; in the highway I could see just the station of FC
Augsburg, the soccer club from the area.
Arriving, there was
basically one main avenue and some streets around connecting. I was reaching my
goal in an accurate level. Enjoying more these experiences than in other places
that I was just walking around big cities hunting for attractions, taking some
pictures and going back home with social medias full of likes. This city with
30 thousand inhabitants allowed me to see the culture of the place in a local
scale. Probably most of the people that were live there, they are from there or
spent most of the time of their life they were there. I like multicultural
cities with people from everywhere. It's one way how to see the world adapted
in different habitat. On the other hand I like to see cities like Königsbrunn
that make me feel really immersed in their culture, mainly having a host that's
from there.
There was
everything that I needed. A good bakery, a post office, a supermarket and a ATM
machine. All right it sounds silly, but I needed food and wow, the german
bakeries for me are the best, sorry for the French, but there is no breads that
I ever tried as good as the German ones.
Supermarket,
obvious to buy something to eat in the dinner.
A post office
because I really needed to send a letter of my work contract that I got in
Luxembourg and the ATM machine because I didn't have any cash left. Anyway, I
was happy enough :D
Arriving in her
place I had the same situation as my first in Tettingen. It was her first
experience as host, she already used Couchsurfing a lot as guest, but once she
lived with her parents it was a bit complicated to convince them to receive
travelers. As I said in the another post, I completely understand it, I would
have to work really hard to convince my parents to do the same.
In the Couchsurfing
request that I sent she told me a "maybe" initially, once she needed
to convince her parents. I don't what she said to them, but it worked the
answer was a "yes". Gute!
We just arrived in
her place and her mom was really friendly with me and her father afterwards was
nice as well. The house was really cool with two floors, but one exclusive for
her, with 2 rooms, a big living room, kitchen and bathroom. It was an
interesting conception, that you live with your parents, but you have your
completely private space. I stayed in a private room and I have to say that it
was the best room that I had from Couchsurfing in this trip.
I don't really mind
about comfort when I'm traveling. I'm really easy going about the place to
sleep. However when I had comfort I really appreciated it, sometimes more than
I needed
Well, once we did
shopping I could cook Jambalaya, my favorite American dish, if you don't know
it, Google it. She said that she liked and I believe that it was true :D.
Ending up the great day we just had one of my favorite German beers:
Franziskaner. It sounds cliché, a commercial beer, but I love it anyway. We had
the chance to exchange a lot of travel experiences that we had in the life. I
remembered really well her passion of New Zealand that made me excited to go
there one day.
I also introduced
her the series black mirror. We watched a episode of this creep series, that
it's one of my favorite ones, just brilliant. Just check it, maybe you're going
to like it.
Danke und bis zum nächsten Kapitel.
Tschüß wieder!
