Water buses and Venice
  One of my biggest  attraction  I find living in Germany is the connectivity. Yes, you heard it right. I don't have to travel 7 hours or so, just to reach one part of the same country. In just 4 hours, I find myself in a completely different country, who speak, dress and eat different than the Germans! The best of all - most of the dream locations of any Indian - are closeby or atleast reachable - Switzerland for example - even a layman knows of Swiss beauty.  And the World Wonders. There's Eiffel Tower, Leaning Tower of Pisa ( still, it was a World wonder na?)  Y eah  ofcourse  there ' s  dazzling Taj Mahal  back home in  India. <Brags>        Duh, why're you giving such an essay? Come to the point. So yeah, I had a Bucket List of places to visit - mostly inspired from Foreign-location songs in Indian movies. The first of the list was of course Venice! and Swiss.  This May, my fil and mil had come to Germany for a 18-day vacation.  It turned out to be such a fun...
