Arrival at Mannheim

I reached Mannheim on Sunday. Since my direct flight to Frankfurt could not be confirmed, I was routed via Dubai (Dubai airport was almost like India with all the airport officials being desis). That meant 17 hrs of travel instead of 9. I reached Frankfurt 13:45 local time.
We reached Mannheim at about 1500 hrs to a Hotel called Tulip Inn. This place is like a tiny India in Mannheim with mostly SAP employees. As soon as we got here the first thing I had to do was to get a Pass. I must admit that the public transport system here is awesome. The train timings are like 7:29, 7:59, 18:37 and so on. The pass that you buy is valid for buses, trams and trains. The region is divided into zones and you can travel any where within the zones using either the trains, trams or the buses.
The roads are nice. Not very big but sufficient enough for the traffic here. On every street you happen to see rows of Mercedez, BMWs, Wolkswagon, Opels etc. parked.
You can navigate to any end of the city with a Map and the pass.
One more thing is that there is daylight here till about 2130 hrs.
TV programs are all boring. They have some really stupid soaps on TV. Most of them are English movies or serials dubbed in German.
