I am currently in Hamburg.  I have been on the road for 1 week and have 2 more weeks to go.  On this trip I am travelling all over Germany to gain a better understanding of the German educational system.  It's very complex and I've already learned so much in my week in Munich.  I will be going to Hannover for CeBIT as well, and other German cities including Berlin, Neuss, and Karlsruhe.

Germany is experiencing a cold winter.  When I arrived last week there were no clouds in the sky for many days.  While Ash (my business manager who's on this trip with me) and I waited for the train to take us to and from the office, I tried to visualize myself sitting on a beach.

Below is a picture of Ash on the train platform.  Note how clear the sky is!
