Mini Trip: Konstanz, Germany

Trip date: February 25, 2012
All in attendance: Kristen and Eric

Konstanz is less than 2 hours away by train. Sometimes the SBB office gives you deals on the transportation and admission to various events/museums/parks/etc through their website. This day, we went to see Sealife for 44.10 CHF with return ticket.

Cue: Sea turtles and penguins in sub-par habitats and children pressing their loud faces against the glass. Erie and beautiful jelly fish and so many big sting rays.

And then we have an afternoon of loafing around the cute German town. We stopped at an "asian store" and I bought some sesame oil and ramen noodles. We bought some nice bread loaves at a German bakery (Kürbiskernbrot, of course). We also had vietnamese food for dinner and I finally got my first bowl of pho in months.

Pho is a Vietnamese soup that any person growing up with Vietnamese parents will eat at least once a week. You are never too full for pho. You are never "sick of eating" pho. If you could eat one thing the rest of your life, it might likely be pho. On a side note, it's not pronounced "fo".

It's a shame because now that it's warmer - there's a whole lot of new offers from SBB for cave exploring, cheese themed tours and hiking and I am feeling a bit distressed because I realized today that I only have 4 short months left.
