After watching this video, Germany will become the next tourist destination you would love to visit!
Amazing attractions and a bunch of fantastic vocabulary for town facilities, means of transport and travelling.
These fantastic scenes depict fantasy and reality, summer and winter and some holy and not so holy images. A day spent in the wonderland lats 50 minutes then the nightlife becomes visibale. The display is controlled by 40 computers and a complex piece of software. There are 260 people working behind the scenes actively creating new worlds and expanding other regions of the miniature world. Well worth a visit if you can!!!
