“Who does
go Siegen?” – A sentence heard from a friend as I told my destination… Yes, I
was going to Siegen. Interesting destination in a way that all way until this
point of this trip I’ve been aware about the location of the place where I was.
This was first time as I knew that I was going to Siegen but if someone would
have given me map of Germany and ask to point out that place, I wouldn’t have
even a clue, and to be honest I still don’t have even that I was there already.
That is the reason why I decided to call it outbacks of Germany especially
after I arrived there by train the train station wasn’t exactly full of people…
But I had a
reason to be there, I was visiting Katharina. There wasn’t much planned besides
going to the city at evening meeting up some of Katharina’s friends. At first I
took my backpack at her new flat which was really nice (especially comparing on
her Irish “flat” – small room which door could barely be opened because lack of
space) and reminded me a little bit of my first flat in Helsinki on its size
and floor plan. There we had
few cups of coffee and had a chat before heading to supermarket get something
for dinner…. Meatballs warmed up in microwave with noodles and bbq sauce, cheap
student meal ;)
When we
finally made our way to the city center, I heard which is a big thing in
Siegen, that separates it from other cities in Germany… They have a deepest
pedestrian walk area on city center in Germany (or at least that’s what they
think)… what a sight! Outbacks indeed :D There we, me surrounded by 10 Germans,
sat down in one bar several hours and enjoying few beers and smoking some
sisha. It seemed to very popular there in Siegen.
After all
it was nice to visit Siegen also and as I said at beginning of my journey, I’m
not going to see places, I’m going to meet friends. It is now 22nd and
last day when my InterRail ticket is valid so last train ride will take me to
Berlin for few days before flying from there back to Finland.
