Bremen - A Short Background

My first few days here consisted of a., hanging out with my incredibly sweet host sister Martina, b., wandering the town of Bremen, and c., making friends from all over the world.

Bremen is relatively small in comparison to Hamburg, it's closest biggest city. It has 500-600,000 inhabitants. It is the home of Beck's Brewery and a very good Futbol (Soccer) Team.

Bremen, a 1,200 year-old Hanseatic (Port-trading-town), puts itself on the map as the pulsating, multifaceted heart of North West Germany. A popular hive of heritage, science, high technology and space industry keeps up breathtakingly pacy innovations.
