Grüne Woche


Duetschland Room
One of many Bier Gardens
Lev and I in the Ukraine room, apparently this is common?
Last week I went to whats called "Grüne Woche" or "Green Week."  I assumed Grüne Woche was some organic vegetable market where I could pick up some nice green vegetables...but I was overjoyed to see that Grüne Woche was in this massive convention center where almost every room represented one country who exhibited products from their countries.  I got amazing samples and really unique products! I got Swiss chocolate and sample fondue from Switzerland, a ton of cheese from almost every station, flax seed oil from Germany, a purse from Kirghistan, and tulips from the Netherlands.  Additionally, they had many Bier Gardens that made you feel like you were outside in this elaborate wooden Bier Garden! I had such a great time and almost got a heart attack because I consumed so much cheese! They also had a couple of rooms devoted to displaying Germany's great agriculture. They had horses in stables and cantoring in an indoor rink, cows, sheep, tractors on display, botany tools and a huge in door flower garden!
Me, Josh, Lauren
