Good Afternoon! Back from today´s STALAG and the job interview. The job interview did not go well. It was a nice chat in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, but they just don´t have a job for me which they think is up to my level of qualification. Overqualified again! Well, it did not really surprise me, as I was expecting it, but things like this start to hurt. I hope you enjoyed your tour through Cologne today. It is a lively city of about 1 million inhabitants, with lots of activities and points of interest. The cathedral alone is worth a visit, with its golden shrine entombing the relics of the three holy kings. <img src="http://www.viatoura.de/images/fotoalbum/fotoalbum6/02_koeln_dom_schrein.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /> The archbishopric of Cologne is the wealthiest Catholic community in the world, richer than even the Vatican. Tonight we will go a little bar hopping in the St. Martin´s Quarter, listen to some good old time Jazz in the "Streckstromp" bar and enjoy a variety of world food in various little places <img src="http://www.thurgautravel.ch/uploads/pics/Koeln_Martinsviertel_06.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /> One thing you have probably noticed in the pictures posted so far is the absence of high-rise buildings. In Cologne, local zoning laws don´t allow you to erect a building higher than the cathedral. Plans in the 1960´s and 70´s to surround the cathedral by some sky scrapers were voted down in the local parliament, so we can stii enjoy a mostly unobstructed view. Enjoy!
