Traveling student : Düsseldorf

One of my objectives of my last year of studies was to enjoy the most travels I can do. I started with Germany thanks to its proximity and the interest I have, according to the history of West Germany before the German reunification on 3 October 1990. As a friend of mine has moved to Germany, I seized the opportunity to make a little trip across Nordrhein-Westfalen State during and after Christmas 2015 ;) So one day, I took my car and crossed Begium t reach Düsseldorf and that was the first time I roam 3 countries by car : Belgium, The Netherlands & Germany (I try to break my record ^^).

Some people said to me : "Why do you go to Germany? You do not even speak German, you learnt Dutch for many years!". I agree, but they also speak English and inhabitants of Aache understand Dutch, a good deal to practice that language ^^

Düsseldorf is the capital city of the state of Nordrhein-Westfalen and the 7th most populous city in Germany. Düsseldorf is an international business and financial centre, renowned for its fashion and trade fairs. Weather was good, but cold at night, and I hate when it's freezing like a giant freezer!

 Yeap : wealthy city, big houses and and big cars

 What did I understand with that ticket? "-Ticket! ^^"

 Indoor tram-stations are equipped with vintage ivory signs, an authentic German signature in Düsseldorf

I was very surprised to see that kind of student jobs in Germany! 

 Best place to visit Christmas markets? Germany, all the way!

If the water was not so cold, I would swim to board that boat :p

 If you do not walk on the Rheinpromenade, you did not visit the city, and not else Germany ^^

 I was kinda hypnotized by that giant wheel! But I did not take a ride on it :'(

 Another thing I love with Germany? The authentic "Ivory cabs" ;)

Now I know that Hbf means "Train station" ^^

I know that's too much but it is mandatory to catch it ^^

Once I went outside of the train station, I thought it was a real man standing on this pillar, but it was a statue ^^

 I love the style of those plates, but I understood nothing, except "-rheinstrasse" & "-platz" ^^

Another view of the Rhein, just before the sunset (notice how wide it is, just incredible)

That sunset symbolises the beautiful stay I had in Düsseldorf ;)

Well, that was my first footsteps in Germany, and it is not over yet!

Next stop (here is an easy clue) : Former West Germany capital city ;)
