In the morning we left Enschede to go to Munster in Germany. We began the day with breakfast and then travelled an hour by bus to Munster. In Munster we were given a tour from our tour guide and learned about the city’s rich history.
One thing I noticed about the city’s culture is that they prefer walking or biking as their form of transportation. The streets of the city were very wide, making it very easy and safe to walk or bike around. Biking and walking are much more sustainable forms of transportation compared to cars, as they do not use fossil fuels. Another sustainable aspect I noticed is that the buildings are made out of brick which gives the town an older look. This is because after the city was bombed, old bricks from the destroyed buildings were used to rebuild. The brick also helps by absorbing the sun and regulating temperature.
In Munster we had a nice meal of a traditional German dish, schnitzel. We also tried German pastries like apple strudel. After eating we returned back to the bus to travel 3 and a half hours to Rotterdam, Netherlands, which is where we will stay for the remainder of the Plus3 program.
