Magical

Cologne is once one of the most magnificent cities in Germany. After the WWII, it lost its power to be a great city. Now Cologne is a product of WWII. I traveled there by ICE paying less than I thought so for a 4 hours train ride from Berlin. I was welcomed firstly by the great cathedral which apparently still stand still after the WWII. To me, Cologne is an ugly city. There aren't any leftover old medieval buildings but just some plain modern buildings.

When I was planning to the train ride back to wonderful Berlin, I was surprised when a group of orchestra next to the cathedral was playing this classical piece of art:



It was a magical moment, I was vowed by the music while looking across the cathedral.
