I am in Germany this week to attend the World Sales Meeting held in Giessen town (yeah a misnomer to have a World Meeting in a small secondary town in Germany but this is where the factory of my principal is located) for a week. My Sales Manager and I arrived on Saturday and Sunday today we took a nice walk in the Botanischer Garten (Botanical Gardens) ; it is of course nothing compared to the size and scale of Singapore's Botanic Gardens but it was a very pleasant experience indeed.
The many floral and plants there reflect the temperate climate of Germany, and there is the Alpine section which showed plants normally growing from certain latitudes.
The town itself is pretty small, about 80,000 all in all and Giessen has an excellent Engineering University called Justus Lieberg Universitat Giessen and there are many young college students cycling and giving this town a modern and hip feel.
The weather today was perfect, something like 18 - 20 deg C and sunny. excellent for a walk in the park and also for a tour of the Old town (Aldstadt).
