Words of the day

Making a big life change is pretty scary. But, you know what's even scarier? "Regret" What is regret ? a feeling of sadness, repentance or disapointment over something that has happened or been done. The feeling of sadness and seems no way to overcome. People made mistakes, made wrong decision, denied that regret will come later, but no matter how hard we tried at the end of the day regret is still there and will be the only feeling that remain. So do what you want to do, do what makes you happy, do what you longing to do, say what you wanna say and let the words fall out honesty. And remember, you are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you don't say.                                                                           There's a saying "Money say; earn me, forget everything."

The Rheinaue (Freizeitpark Rheinaue, Bonn- Deutschland), Germany

Image
Bonn, is the 19th largest city in Germany. It is located in Bonn region or Cologne. What I like most about Bonn is it owned large and beautiful leisure park, along with stunning lake. In winter where the temperature about -10°C and above, when there's no rain the lake will be frozen and a lot of people play ice skating on the frozen lake surrounded by the beautiful view of the park. And if the temperature around below -4°C, the ducks and swans swims on the lake and birds flying and playing around the park, It's really breathtaking! The area is located in the geographical heart of Bonn city area on both side of the Rhine, and with the Research Center Caesar and the Post Tower. The area is almost as large as the center of Bonn. In spring and summer time where the flowers bloomed and the trees begun to grow, it gives you the most beautiful view ever. Unfortunately I missed the moment, but here I want to share with all of you the beauty of Rheinaue of Bonn, Germany during winter
