Things that Bonn is famous for (in no particular order)
gummy bears (est. 1922)
Birthdplace of Beethoven, Bonn's most beloved son
Been a city for 2000 years (bit of history round the place)
Old capital of West Germany
Home of the world dance championships, the German equine championships, and the annual foil fencing world cup - which means that the Bonn equivalent of the EGOT* is the EFFD. I wonder how many people have been EFFD in Bonn? Probably not very many...
*EGOT= Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony (thank you 30Rock)
Things I have seen in Bonn already:
Harajuku girls (Germans... so wasn't sure if they were harajuku or just up to some Bavarian badassry, but the panda eyes and hello kitty accessories confirmed their allegiance to at least Gwen Stefani)
polite punk rockers with green mohawks
sauerkraut on everything
WELL most punk rockers are inherently polite - rudeness is generally the side-effect of a boozed-up dare-for-laughs scenario. didn't i teach you anything? ;) haha! Dee.
