5 things to do in Cologne:
Sunset by the Rhein River
- Visit the Dom. The big humungous imposing giant cathedral that's hard to be missed if you come from the train station.
- Drink Koelsch. This beer is served in small glass. One gulp and it's gone. It's hard to get drunk with this refreshing beer!
- Walk along the Rhein river while watching the boats passing
- Get yourself lost in the "Gay Bermuda Triangle" : BarFlo-Rudolphplatz-ExCorner Bar
- Dressed up for the Carnaval in February/March where Koelsch becomes the breakfast, lunch and dinner. Collect as many candies and chocolate from the parade. And sing along with the lousy German Schlager songs.

BarFlo (Cafe), Friesenwall (off Rudolphplatz)
ExCorner (Bar), Schaafenstrasse
Clip (Club), Marsilstein (near Schaafenstrasse)
Meet Markus! An architect turned into a 3-D Animator. German studied in Italy, now living in Berlin. Yes, he speaks fluent Italian. He loves Italian food and Asian men (and the other way around) *wink wink* but he cooks delicious italian pasta. Into Chill-out lounge music.
