Day49_Sonntag/Sunday1Marz09_To Hamburg

To Hamburg by the ME train. Departure time:1028hrs.

*Before the trip to Hamburg, both of us (me and colleague Wan F) had enquired Prof.Brand (who lectures at Hamburg Universitat) about interesting places in Hamburg. Prof. advised us to visit the St.Pauli-Landungsbrucken harbour (which we did), the lake and the River Elbe and some interesting streets like Monckeburystr and Burchandstr. Due to time constraint, we did not go to museums or parks recommended by him...:-(

Waiting for train at Bremen hauptbahnhof/central station to Hamburg.Sitting next to IKA.Train was packed!

Herrn Hans was in Penang a few months back and he said out the price of "Hamburg' baseball cap in Malay "Tiga ringgit sembilan puloh sen" when he overheard I spoke to Wan in Malay.:-)
