I came to Germany on the premise of helping the Indian arm of an international company (Diconium -Volkswagen) headquartered in Stuttgart.
My flight AI 125 got delayed by one day as the Bombay - Frankfurt flight left on time and our Bangalore to Bombay flight could not catch it due to heavy monsoon in Mumbai.
The delayed flight gave me a chance to have quick visit to Gateway of India and Marine drive. The view at marine drive was soothing and at GOI building i came to know that it's the place from where the last ship of British army left Mumbai. We reached Frankfurt and left to Stuttgart by ICE bhan. Trains in Germany are punctual and have an average speed of around 200kmph also they cover entire Germany.
We reached Stuttgurt and with the help of Mr. Ulrich Schmach from office we have managed to check in to our hotel room. We are surprised a bit to know there is no lift and the bathroom is shared. I was taken aback and requested my office, back in India to have accommodation changed.
The travel agent in India had other thoughts. He talked to hotel mentioning my name and gave many reasons to convince them for a refund and the hotel owner Danni (Female) was upset as she clearly mentioned the available facilities on website before booking. To make them agreed for refund the agency spoke rudely of them and made her crying.They did all this, thinking she will give refund and they can book another hotel for me within the budget. A mess all in all and i wanted to close this by adjusting in the same hotel.
I did settle down and started moving around Stuttgart and have covered TV tower, first of it's kind in the world. The view is great. Europeans are detail oriented. On the tower i saw every village, town,city and countries visible from the view marked by distance , Just awesome.
Went to Wilhelm, huge zoo which is near by and have gone through a Amazon rain forest replica.I was inspired to have one replicated at my home back at native place. The temperature is maintained by trees and water inside the replica which is really cool.
Went to Porsche museum and have seen the multiple models of Porsche and have clicked few pics, only discouraging thing was the ticket which is 9 euros.
Went to Mercedes Benz museum and have gone through history of auto mobile industry, originated from Stuttgart
I have much to write about German culture and history and why Europe is much advanced in technology and Asian countries more advanced in family relationships.
I cover it in my next post Gutan Tag!
