Enjoy Toronto - Dining, Traveling and Hotel: Rhine River

Love by the Rhine River 莱茵河波影

Since my gf told me how much she loved her previous trip to Europe, I had been planning for a trip to Germany. It is very difficult to find a good vacation package to Europe. Europe is well-known for packed hotels and expensive transportation.

Dusseldorf turns out to be a very good starting point. The city voted #1 in terms in quality of life is the perfect starting point to visiting other German or European destinations. It is the German centre of fashion, home to a lively restaurant and nightlife scene, and is famous for its history in art and sports - making it a place with lots of things to do and see.

Hilton Dusseldorf is one of the best Hilton hotel. The staffs were extremely professional yet friendly. I guess this is what they call European class of services. The hotel features a luxury executive lounge. There is a wide selection of top quality snacks, pastries, beverages, wines, and of course, Germany beers. There are many near-by attractions:

Taking a cruise at the Rhine river.
Sitting by the Rhine river to inhale the romantic European atmosphere.
Viewing the Rhine river from the Rhine tower. It is a totally different experience.

The patio at the Radisson hotel restaurant was so impressive. Does German eat any sausages? No! Just like Chinese seldom eat any spring roll or chicken ball. The food was good, but what really amazed me were the Creme Brulee and Tirmius. Can't find the same thing anywhere else.

(If flight tickets were transferable, I would have given my business class ticket to my LoPo. LoPo, I will give you the best!) Yes, I got a free business class ticket. The coach ticket price from Toronto to Dusseldorf was like $1,000 CAD comparing to a business class ticket at $4,000 CAD. What does the business class ticket buy you? Access to the airport lounge, shower facilities, LCD TV and internet enabled work area, a better seat that allows you to sleep more horizontally, a decent meal, and Shiraz.
