[@GabrielXDrums]

Why

[@gajustempus]

though you went to Uerige, one of the really good breweries in Düsseldorf, you missed the Füchschen in the Ratinger Strasse - they've also got a wonderful beer, even own ice cream made of beer and some of the best classic german cuisine for an affordable price. Right nearby is the Ratinger Tor - the original "entrance" to the city from the days of Napoleon. That's where he entered the city around 200 years ago. You should also mention the Aquazoo, right next to the Nordpark with a huge japanese garden - maintained by the japanese community in Düsseldorf (the biggest japanese colony in Europe btw.) If you're into skiing - just skip right over the rhine to Neuss and you'll find an indoor skiing track. Or, if you prefer some more historic and classic history lessons, head down to Benrath and visit Schloss Benrath or the museum of nature and history right within the manor. Back in the Altstadt, the best ice cream can be bought at Pia in the Kasernenstrasse, whereas the best hot chocolate or chocolate in general can be obtained at Gut&Gerne at the Burgplatz. And, on the Königsallee, you'll find "Heinemann" - with delicious cake, the world's best champagne truffles. If you're into trying out the different kinds of bread, go and step by at "Hinkel" in the Altstadt. Both of these stores are well-known for their craftmanship and usage of only organic ingredients.

I'm from Scotland, I visited Düsseldorf for the first time this week. I did not like the divide between the super wealthy who shop in the expensive stores while ordinary people could only stare in the window, anyway who needs a 35000 Euro watch or a 2000 Euro Handbag, someone who is vain, arrogant and has a very high opinion of themselves? A person I would avoid. Better to use the clock on your mobile phone. The 25 minute return train to Cologne cost 31.30 Euro which is at least twice what a similar distance would cost in Scotland. Now for the good points I enjoyed the parks, the mixture of old and modern architecture , the Rhine was lovely on a sunny day and the various modes of transportation was was good. The proximity to Cologne was good and affordable accommodation was available, the streets were clean enough and the people were quite friendly. English was widely spoken which helped a lot.

[@MerleTrains]

Normally travelling from Cologne to Düsseldorf is *much* cheaper, it seems to me that you booked a wrong ticket or something. But yes, as a person from Düsseldorf I understand your points. I guess you probably took the IC or ICE train which is meant for longer distances. For this distance I would rather recommend the regional train (RE) which is just 5 minutes slower and has a fixed price of 11.90€ per direction on this trip. (so 23,80€ total).

[@BC_26fhj]

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh, great suggestion! I hope we can next time.

[@MerleTrains]

@@samuelandaudrey Yes please, the (far) north of Düsseldorf has also nice old towns and idyllic landscapes! Basically everything north of the airport thats still part of Düsseldorf is worth seeing. But go further north and you reach Duisburg, which is basically Germany's Detroit^^ (Not all that bad tho) Living in this part of Düsseldorf actually feels like town life, with very good connections to a beautiful city.

[@MerleTrains]

As a local I acutally like the contrast between Düsseldorf and Duisburg (and the rest of the cities in the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan area). I also like the spirit of the mix of huge worn down industrial hubs and new green city development which is happening in the whole region right now.

[@Honeystain]

Wow, the camera quality looks incredible! Is that a new camera or is it because you're shooting mainly still shots?

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! Well, the best worst thing happened when my Olympus broke. It sucks when technology fails randomly but I had my eye on the Panasonic GH5 and getting it a bit earlier than I expected has been a blessing in disguise. I'm really enjoying the colors, contrasts and variable frame rates (slow motion) so far. It has really opened up some new ways for us to film and also it has made me more excited to be shooting.

[@kiriakosnicolaou5783]

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! I got a new camera not too long ago when my Olympus broke and my new camera a Panasonic GH5 has some really cool slow motion frame rates including, 90, 120, 150 and 180. I'm using 180 a lot on a custom dial (the camera has 3 custom dials) meaning I have it preset already to the exact slow motion settings I want and I just have to press the record button and it works like a charm. Honestly, this is by far my favorite camera I've ever owned. I'm really happy with the colors, contrast and slow motion ability. It is such a big upgrade over the camera I used to have. I'd highly recommend it :)
