Dessau
and Leipzig were awesome cities in Germany that we visited. They were both much
smaller than Berlin so it was definitely a different vibe here. Geographically,
the buildings here were a perfect combo of old and remodeled buildings and you
could definitely see the effects that WWII had on the cities. it was easy to
tell that there was a lot of damage done from the bombings, and lots of the
cities were very new because of the rebuilding. Some of the buildings they
rebuilt back to their original looks which I thought was really cool, because
it is more time consuming.
Academically, attending the Bach museum in Leipzig was my
favorite part of going to these cities. I have a strong music background, and
it was awesome to see so much of Bach’s history. The museum was very
interactive which made it more interesting to me. There were things that made
different music that you could play, a movie room, and lots of historical facts
in the museum. It was fun to see!
I really enjoyed shopping in Leipzig, because there was a
huge mall there! The mall was three floors and had so many nice stores that we
do not have in the States. I would definitely recommend going there, it was a
lot of fun. It was nice to just walk around the inner city of Leipzig, because
it is fairly small, but there is a lot to see. I find the city extremely cute! It
is very old but modern at the same time which makes it unique.
As far as food recommendations, a restaurant in Leipzig
called Riquet was my favorite. I ordered a chicken salad and it was amazing! I was
really impressed with the food there. They also had tons of desserts to choose
from, and I ordered a hazelnut cream c
