We wandered through the squares and cafes to the famous Kölner Dom – which is every bit as impressive as when I was a kid. It really is worth going out of your way to see. They have almost finished cleaning off the soot of the area’s 100 years of coal production. As my dad will tell you, most of those factories have been shipped off brick for brick to China to continue their pollution there.
I suppose 4711 is the most famous fragrance from "Cologne" so i took a picture of the headquarters.
As we walked along, I told Jaimey of my plan to get my dad a vest-jacket as a joke and a test. There must be a law that requires every German male, as soon as he turns 60, to buy a vest-jacket with multiple pockets. Nearly every older man wears one and they look like imbeciles. We were speculating what these guys could be thinking as they bought one of these monstrosities, and we concluded, in union, “aber ja, das ist sehr praktisch!” Practical – the rallying cry for all older Germans – especially when it comes to fashion. Let me reiterate: if you like trains that run on time, hang out in Germany, if you want people who look good, go to Italy!
