Dresden

We went to Dresden on Saturday. Jingwen and I found out about these weekend tickets that allowed traveling all over Germany, on slow trains, for 30 Euros. One ticket is valid for one day and can be used by a group of up to 5 people. Cheap! So we got up early Saturday morning and took a Regional Express to Dresden. The train trip was about 3 hours.

Once we got there, Jingwen's friend took us around the city. He's our year and is also studying civil engineering.

This church that I'm standing next to was rebuilt after World War II. Dresden was very heavily bombed so most of the buildings were either repaired or new. They used some of the original stones in building this church. There is a statue of Martin Luther in front of it. You can see him a lot more clearer in the second picture. We didn't go inside since there was a very long line.
