I am a country pumpkin going out to the city.
Everything is new to me especially in Germany. Mr. Gerd Wendlant is driving a car equipped with new technology... one of them is the cutting off of engine while waiting at the traffic light.
He is driving a diesel Volvo, comfortable and spacious. If the waiting at the traffic light is too long, the engine can be cut out ( off ) while other accessories are still running. When traffic light turns green, at an instant, the engine is turn on again go.... (my daughter was telling me about this new technology in UK and I experienced it in Germany).
On the second day, our gracious host ( The Wendlants) prepared a sumptuous German breakfast for us. I loved it and it was the best German breakfast ( western) I ever had. (see pictures to appreciate)
After breakfast, our Top Guide (Gerd) led us to a day tour of famous historical sit es and beautiful palace in Potsdam, a city of national and international notability. One of them is the Potsdam Conference 1945 of Stalin, Truman and Churchill to decide the fate of Eastern Europe.
Places visited:
1. The Glienicke brigde, better known as The Spy Bridge where the Soviet block exchanged spies with the Allied especially the American during the Cold War period.
2. The world famous, UNESCO World Heritage San Sanssouci Park where powerful Frederick dynasty built their palaces.
It was a cloudy and drizzling the whole day but it didn't dampened our happy spirit.
We capped an exciting day with a home-cooked Chinese dinner !

我好像『阿牛』出城，对每样没见过的东西都好奇，特别是在德国。
温特兰（Wendlant）先生驾的是一辆宽敞舒适的豪华(Volvo)房车，配有最新的科技，车的引擎在等候交通灯转绿的时候，可以关掉（死火），但车上其他的设备，仍然正常操作（如冷气，收音机）。
当转绿时，只有脚推一推，引擎马上开动，立刻行驶。这是汽车的新科技，不知在马来西亚，是否有些汽车有装备上。（小女儿告诉我英国已经很流行（新车），但我却在德国体验）。
在德国的第二天，温特兰夫妇一早为我们准备了一顿丰富的德国早餐。这是我平生最丰富的一顿德国（西式）早餐。（有照片为证）
早餐后，我们到邻近的坡斯坦市参观景点。坡斯坦（Potsdam）是德国一个非常著名的历史城市，这里有许多历史遗迹，历史事件，举世闻名。其中最著名事件之一是著名的1945年坡斯坦会议，苏联的史达林，英国的丘吉尔和美国的徒鲁门峰会，决定东欧的命运。
我们今天参观了：
1. 著名的『间谍桥』。这是在共产东德的时候，苏联盟国与欧美盟国交换间谍的地点。
2.这里有世界著名的费德力皇朝所建的宏伟美丽的皇宫。
今天整天都阴天及下雨，但没有干扰到我们快乐出游的心情。
我们以一顿美味丰富的中餐结束这美妙丰富的一天。
