winter hütt'n, Neustadt

find me outside drinking plenty of glühwein this season.

As for now, can not wait for the opening of Dresdner striezelmarkt!

Summer calls for good company under the sun, this is the kind of summer I long for all year. I am fortunate enough to meet so many amazing people here in this beautiful city. Summer is so far off to a great start, beers at Alaunpark, endless dancing in the summer sun and into the night, and grill parties at the Elbe.

Packing up my life in Canada was probably one of the best decision I have ever made otherwise I would have not met all these amazing people and experienced the experiences I have so far. I have learned so much about myself in the short four months. There are so much more to learn and see in the world than to sit and think about what you could be doing. I truly encourage you to get out of your comfort zone and experience the unexpected, there isn't a better way of learning about your strengths and weaknesses than while traveling.

We live for the weekend. We live for the summer.

To many more summer fun in the sun. Travel on my friends.

In the day, it is more family orientated involving more local stands selling hand made items. One stand had a lady making flower crowns... the most beautiful flower crown ever. Of course, I couldn't turn it down and ended up waiting in line for about an hour.

However, by night it is truly when BRN starts well in my opinion. Every street is a party, walking by every block it is hard not to stop and dance. I am surprise that the various music don't clash with each other... but instead, you'll be dancing to electro at one block and drum&bass at the other.

So if anyone is ever going to visit Germany, come to Dresden the second week of June to experience this for yourself.

Best schnitzel in the city: Schiller Garten, Laubegast.

Best Currywurst and pommes: Curry & Co, Neustadt

Neustadt when translated it means 'New City' however, it is not new at all. It is rather an older part of the city. Walking along the cobblestones alleyway you will find graffiti all along the walls of the buildings, broken doors and some street art such as the bath tub bench photographed below. Despite being an old part of the city, you find its full of youth where majority of Neustadt are students. Chances are you will find at least one or two vintage boutiques and record shops on the main strips along with numerous bars and cute cafés. By night you will find the streets light up and comes alive, bars welcoming people with open doors and trams full of young adults heading towards this direction.

Kalter Hund cafe, Neustadt



While there, I got a chance to enjoy a latte macchiato at an adorable cafe called Kalter Hund. This cafe was particularly special not just due its home-like atmosphere it conveyed but its overall theme was dachshunds and what can more adorable than that?! Two little dachshunds running around while having coffee...

I'll definitely be back.

See you Neustadt on a brighter and more beautiful day!
