Hamburg Education

Another very wet and squally day in Hamburg, hence not a great deal of Pics or activities happened today. We started the day by finding a laundrette (yes Germany have them) and doing the washing, I also got a haircuts. Haircuts and laundry are similar to me, every now and then you need to get it done.

We caught the bus and train into town so it was lunchtime when we arrived, hence I had to have hamburger in Hamburg.  After lunch, we went to the centre for Photography in Hamburg, the exhibition was focussed on media images, predominantly  newspapers and advertising. Personally, I thought it was pretty ordinary and could have been much better. A lot of the exhibition wasn't even photography but other forms of images including cartoons and montage. (no photos allowed)

Moving on from there we went to the Hamburg Museum for Kunst and Gewerbe (Art and Trade), which had a very interesting side door and I am sure the primary sex education source for Hamburg School kids. The museum itself's program looked pretty uninteresting and after the failure of the photography exhibition, we decided to give it  a miss.

The rest of the day was spent wandering around the streets of Hamburg, ducking getting drowned by rain. I did not take many pics but there is a music reference from the 70s/80s.

One thing I can say is that Europe has very patchy quality internet service, at many places we have been, the internet service has been crap. In general, China, Tibet and even Mongolia were better quality and faster.

This hotel in Hamburg is particularly bad tonight, hence the delay in posting images.
