【Where?】 Heinrich Heine (1797—1856) Where shall I, of wandering weary,
Find my resting-place at last? Under drooping southern palm-trees? Under limes the Rhine sweeps past? &nb |

【Aiden in English】 Today, Mom and I entered France. No, Germany. Ehhhh... France. Maybe Germ- no, no, definitely France. By now, after two world wars, everyone in the city of Strasbourg is tired of switching back and forth between the countries. Luckily, both countries use euros, so whatever nation Strasbourg now falls under will use the same currency. Being one of the largest cities on the roman |

【What is love】 Heinrich Heine (1797—1856) Love is a star shrouded in morning fog Without you Heaven is hell Li River War lovely, subtle shaking This… Shy sweet embrace — On your beautiful lips, I preferred kissing instead of the language My kiss is like the smoke from my heart aflame! Yesterday kissed my happiness, Today has come to naught, I received a sincere love Always the total can not be sustained. Women to men there is a way to be happy; but unfortunately the way to a man trapped in there m |

【Aiden in English】 On the first-day majority of tourists, we ran into were Chinese in Heidelberg. It took a while. For the past few days, our Viking Kavsir has docked give-or-take thirty minutes from the actual destination. Today, moored in the business city of Mannheim on the bank of the Rhine, it used four busses to transport all 187 passages to Heidelberg, standing at the cradle of the German Romantic moveme |

【Life's Journey】 Heinrich Heine (1797—1856) What laughter and singing! The sun’s rays crossing
Each other gleam brightly; the billows are tossing The joyous bark, and there I reclined With friends beloved and lightsome mind.
The bark was presently wreck’d and shatter’d, My friends were poor swimmers, and soon were scatter’d,   |

【My day was serene...】 Heinrich Heine (1797—1856) My day was serene, my night was happy.
My people always shouted for joy when I struck the lyre Of poetry. My song was lust and fire, Has kindled many beautiful clutches.

【Aiden in English】 I guess it isn't possible to go through Europe without seeing castles. Like I've said before, castles are a message of power and wealth. Therefore, anyone with power and wealth had a castle. Marksburg Castle constructed in 1117, was originally a fortress for protection instead of a royal residence. However, going through many years of war, Marksburg had established many defenses, allowing it to escape damage an |

【The Return Home • 60】 Heinrich Heine (1797—1856) Too fragmentary is World and Life;

【Aiden in English】 On the previous Danube Viking Cruise, Mom and I visited many castles and palaces from the Romanesque to Gothic styles. Every other day or so, a new king or rich family would be brought up during the tour, each with another empire and each with a pool of wealth. Usually, they built castles, and most of these aristocrats were German. That is why Germany's countryside is commonly known as a fairy tale. It should more |

【Aiden in English】 River cruises are nothing like the ocean-going voyages that Mom and I go on. They are small, expensive, and made for older folks that aren't as active. However, their itinerary is unique. They can go routes other vessels can't do because of their sizes. Passau is the place where we begin our Danube Castles & Legends with the famous Viking Cruises.

【Aiden in English】 Disneyland has become the face of castles and architectural wonders. Many forget the great European designers and builders who created a lot of Europe's famous staples, like Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower. If there are people who can design these architectures, surely there are those who can build a castle? Oddly, Germany holds the more famous castles in Europe, despite tough competition from Scandinavian countrie |

【The Greatness of the World】 Friedrich Schiller (1759—1805) Through the world which the Spirit creative and kind First formed out of chaos, I fly like the wind, Until on the strand Of its billows I land, My anchor cast forth where the breeze blows no more, And Creation's last boundary stands on the shore.
I saw infant stars into being arisen, For thousands of years to roll on through the skies; I saw them in play Seek their goal far away,-- For a moment my fugitive gaze wandered on,-- I looke |

【Aiden in English】
German culture has seen great changes in modern history. From being the antagonist in so many conflicts, the country has made striding steps toward reform. Ironically, it is the rest of the world that still has not shifted its view on German. Recently, on a separate trip, I experienced a snippet of German culture in Berlin. However, I am back for more, this time a much more personal look at Germany. &n |

Friedrich Schiller (1759—1805) Angel-fair, Walhalla's charms displaying, Fairer than all mortal youths was he; Mild his look, as May-day sunbeams straying Gently o'er the blue and glassy sea.
And his kisses!--what ecstatic feeling! |

【Aiden in English】 I remember the exact project of making paper for people in the first grade. It was a hard project, but we had buddies or older kids to help us. The objective was to build teamwork among the younger kids, but for most, all it proved was frustration. Obviously, no one threw a temper tantrum, luckily. With a few grinding teeth and banging of hands, the entire class got through it without having a single crying student. We |
