A fun and spontaneous trip to Cologne, Germany with some Romanians. The things I liked the most about Cologne were the cathedral, the wurst, the chai latte and the language (apart from the impressive cathedral, nothing was Cologne specific of course - Aachen, or most other German cities could easily offer the same).

Meeting up with Catherine in Summer 2009. Carnaval in 2010.... just to name a few. It is just so close, to Bonn, and even Brussels.
