I remember that I was so excited to go to Germany, to get the possibility to speak my language and actually be able to understand everything! Also Kehl is situated in Baden- Württemberg, in the south of Germany where I've never been before. The people I spoke to (a policeman and a bypasser) sounded strange to me because of their funny little south-accent. When we finally arrived at the townhall, everyone was so excited about the modern building, and in front of my inner eye the picture of Château town-hall appeared, so I could understand the others excitement. The bretzel (and this is how you write it!) was good and Germans do drink also mineralwater .
After the nice greeting we went shopping in Kehl. It was a shame that we didn't had more time but I enjoyed it very much. We returned to France passing the famous French-German-friendship bridge which connects Kehl and Strasbourg. Of course, we stopped and took a group picture. My friend and me were laughing about a jogger who was crossing the bridge from France to Germany, obviously he felt like taking a short trip to the neighbour-country. It's really great that there are no borders anymore and that you can cross a bridge and find yourself in another country. No borders between countries and above all no borders between "those people there" and "us", that is what being European is about.
