I am with my sweet Brother Abed

Here I should say about him. From the first day I reached Dortmund, Abed (from Jordan) took care of me very well.. he helped me in everything.... Very interesting thing is he prepares good coffee for me.. Sometimes good lunch too.. Since I love coffee he made me happy several time by giving me good coffee. I feel like I am at home with my mother.. nice person...

Here I am with him.. He invited me for the dinner before I come to Porto.. We both enjoyed the dinner so much..

I need to mention one more important thing about him. He is very organised guy.... I need to fix an appointment to go out with him sometime if I need to be.. I was inviting him to go out and see soem cities during the weekend. He never agreed becasue he was with other important works.. But I never stop asking him to give me a company...One day surprisingly he said he will go with me during one weekend. You know one thing he was not feeling well.. the weather was too cold and raining.. Anyway he said he will go wiht me that day.. so i was happy to travel with him.. But I felt bad because he was with fever.. okay.. then we decided the place.. It was Siegen..
to go to this city we need to take two trains.. So we took one train and reached the near by city.. and we were waiitng for the other train.. but unfortunately the train has cancelled then we planend to other city Paderborn.. very nice city too .. we could not see much because it was raining too much...

I am with Abed for the Ramzan Dinner

He invited me for the Ramzan dinner .... he prepared a very tasty chicken with rice.. I loved it..

I am missing him a lot now for everything.. Such a nice caring brother...

Exciting moments with FOOT BALL match

Oh My god. I got a great chance to see the live foot ball match in Signul iduna Park, Dortmund.

It hosted several matches of the 2006 FIFA World Cup national teams of Trinidad & Tobago, Sweden, Germany, Poland, Togo, Switzerland, Japan, Brazil, Ghana and World Cup holders Italy. In the semi-final they were the first to beat Germany in an international match played at Dortmund.

I was living very near to this stadium.. from my window I used to see this stadium and drink my coffee everyday..

Coming to this offer, My friend Rajesh gave me two tickets for watching this match. The match was between Dortmund and Frankfurt i think. I asked many of my friends to give me the company. No one was interested. But I decided to go alone. At last My other friend (prabhakaran) gave me the company.... but he was with the condition .. if he doesnt like we should leave immediatley. .. I agreed and we went to see the match.. you have no idea about the crowd ..... and they had good control of people.. We were really shocked about this.. and I was so excited to see the live match .. because it is the only sport I like the most.. short and sweet..

And My friend started liking the match..(I was so happy that he liked it). so we were sitting and enjoing the same..

here comes the penalty shot..

and the GOAL...
It was raining a lot.. So we decided to go home soon and left the stadium ,discussing all the way about the excitements..

One more unforgettable day in my life..

Myself and Sobhi in Wuppertal- Germany

Wuppertal is one of the cities in North Rhine-Westphalia ,NRW- its the state where I lived in Germany. One of the weekends myself and Sobhi decided to visit this place. I would like to mention here something about this city......

It is a major industrial centre including such industries as: textiles, metallurgy, chemicals, medicine (Bayer), electric, rubber, vehicles and printing equipment. One of the most famous pain-killers, Aspirin, was invented in Wuppertal by Bayer.

Schwebebahn

One of the city’s greatest attractions is the suspended monorail (“Wuppertaler Schwebebahn”), which was established in 1901. The tracks are 8 m above the streets and 12 m above the Wupper river.

The Wuppertal Schwebebahn is a “Eugen Langen Monorail Suspension Railway” (Einschienige Hängebahn System Eugen Langen). Designed by Eugen Langen, who originally planned to build it in Berlin, it was built in 1900, opened in 1901 and is still in use today as a local transport system in the city.

It is the oldest monorail system in the world.

The suspension railway travels along a route 13.3 kilometres long, about 12 metres above the surface of the river Wupper between Oberbarmen and Sonnborner Straße (10 km) and approximately 8 m above the city streets, between Sonnborner Straße and Vohwinkel (3.3 km).At one point the railway crosses the A46 motorway.

We both decided to explore this rail trip.. The entire trip takes about 30 minutes.

We felt very good travelling above the river surface....

I had a good fun with Sobhi in Wuppertal..
