Sina Michael Marriage

Recently I had a chance to attend my best German friend, Michael’s wedding in Petersdorf in the north of Hamburg. It happens to be very important wedding invitation to me simply because he was my first German friend when I came to Germany and remains still to be my best German buddy. It was a time when I was completely new to Germany, hardly spoke any German language and very difficult to understand the culture as well. The role he played to help me to integrate in to the society is something I would never forget it especially during my difficult times.

It was a good feeling to drive with my car to a place around 100 kms from my place with my honey with well dressed suit. Around 100 people came for the function and for an Indian 100 is a very small number in marriage function :D. The dinner was perfect with typical German dishes and Michael’s dad gave a presentation about Michael and Sina’s childhood days. After that came party where lot of songs from Köln and Football club Köln were played. It was a day to remember.

Thanks a lot Herr. Kitzelmann. We were delighted to be part of your important day and I wish you guys happy and prosperous married life. I still remember the sentence which Michi told, "In whichever part of the globe you are, whenever you want to visit me, my door is opened for you". Friendship with Micha is something which I really cherished during my good old days in Germany.

Cheers,
Sathish & Anita.

Serengeti National Park, Wildlife Safari in Germany

I never even imagined that one could do a safari ride in Germany by sitting in car as it was pretty common in Africa. The Serengeti National Park in Hogenhagen, Niedersachsen gives a great possibility to explore the wild life by sitting in car. It was indeed a great experience to sit in the car and see lions, tigers and other carnivore’s animals wandering in the forest as opposed to animals enslaved to the cage in Zoos.

Besides exploring the animals in the forest, the park offers various rides like in theme park. Most interesting part is, the driver of the car gets a free ticket to explore the park. It’s a lovely feeling when Giraffe, Camels, Zebras just peek in to the car windows. Hats off to the park which created a virtual set up of a forest like in Africa. Certainly a great place to visit in Germany. A day to remember!
