The trip to Strasbourg (France) was a pleasant experience. The city was a part of Germany for over three hundred years. Now Strasbourg is a French city and river Rhine seperates it from Germany.
When I arrived at Strasbourg on the 1st of May, the whole town was relaxing and the public local transport was not plying on the streets. As I walked on the street in front of the Main Railway Station I noticed that a small shop that sells cakes and choclates was open. After buying some choclates and cakes, I unsuccessfully tried to buy a tram ticket when I discovered that the machine was out of order. I decided to take the taxi to the hotel but there was no taxi in sight. After a long wait, a taxi came in and three of us, one girl who spoke good english, an old lady and me, drove to our destinations.
The best part of Strasbourg (often compared with Boston)is its lively atmosphere. The river Rhine that flows through the city, the Cathedral(biggest in the world till the end of the ninteenth century), the imposing structures of European Parliament and the European Human Rights Commission make Strasbourg a beautiful place worth visiting.
