In Cologne, I found myself accidentally. Last week we have a young municipal deputy Maxim Katz got tickets to Helsinki. We had to visit a very well respected expert on the tram for to discuss his visit to Moscow. In Helsinki, we had to go by train, as the youngest member is afraid to travel and loves to sleep. From there we took the ticket to Düsseldorf, where he was expected to meet with a highly respected expert on transport matters. As they say, there were no signs of trouble ... but the enemy was more insidious than we thought. Katz was struck by an unprecedented disease and he fell ill.
Since Katz is very economical, we bought the cheapest tickets which was impossible to pass. In the end I decided to go alone, so tickets are not disappearing. In Helsinki, I went and changed the tickets immediately in Duesseldorf. Of course, this time of year is nothing to do here. Terrible weather - drizzle of rain, all gray and dirty, wind, people hiding in their homes.
I flew to Düsseldorf, go to the station to buy tickets. Here comes some guy and said, "You do not accidentally Cologne want? And then I have an extra ticket, will give for Euro 6 "... I do not know what came over me, but I said that I had it in Cologne. We ran a train and in 5 minutes I was driving a high-speed ICE to Cologne at 120 km.h just 6 euros. So yesterday I unexpectedly ended up in Cologne.

Disputes about such an unusual stained glass was a lot. Interestingly, the location of these pixels were computer-generated. According to Richter, the artist's non-interference in the process of placement of colored squares on the layout of stained glass, it symbolizes the divine will, which determines how the product will look like.
12. And in Cologne finish building a new grand mosque. Today, 12% of the population of Cologne, which is approximately 120 thousand inhabitants, Muslims, mostly Turks. The project of the mosque designed by local architect Paul Böhm.
13. disputes and protests over the mosque there were many. "For me it is clear that the Muslims should be a worthy place for prayer - says the mayor of Cologne, Fritz Schramm. - I'm much stronger concern is that people over 35 years living in Germany, do not know a word of German. " Personally, I am more confused form of the building. Pay attention to the roof, there sits a bunch of pigeons.
