In the morning, we take a tour around Frankfurt. The city is not very big, but is quite clean, perfectly-thought-out. All the buildings are square, bright and clean. Church can be found everywhere. The taxies are BENZ. This is our first impression.
Church is the city's common sight
Along the Main, one tributary of the Rhine, we get to Bonn by bus in the afternoon. Because of the housing shortage in Cologne, a large number of exhibitors have to live in the nearby cities. Bonn is one of them, and also is our temporary resting place for the following days. Bonn is quite famous. It is the capital city of West Germany before Unification and the place where Beethoven born. However, the city only has fifty thousand populations. According to the guide, it is even smaller than our county in China. After the Unification, the East Germany capital city Berlin, now the largest city in Germany, is set as the capital city. So, Bonn's political atmosphere has been gradually faded away and the tourism has become one of the major advantages.

At night, we stay in a four-star hotel in Bonn. The hotel is much smaller than our expectations, and the room is even smaller than that of at domestic three-star hotels. But it is quiet and the city fall into sleep.
