I had to spend some time last week in Germany, and visit the offices of Serono (now Merck Serono) in Geneva for a few meetings on the integration of the businesses. The offices are really impressive, with everything made of glass. Even the roof opens up.
I didn't get to take any pictures unfortunately. At the end of the week I had another meeting in Mainz, which was really nice. Mainz is a beautiful little town, that has a history going back to the times of the Romans. Many of the buildings still have part of there structures coming from the Roman buildings.
The Friday night we went on a "champagne" tasting, or now sparkling wine. It was at a place directly opposite the hotel called Kupferberg, and is apparently quite famous. We saw the enormous wine cellars and methods of making the "sect" as they call it. The best was tasting the wines (of course...) and we only needed to walk across the road to get to the hotel. Some of the wine cellars here are dated back to Roman times.
Kupferberg
I was only flying back to Seoul on the Saturday evening, so I had the opportunity to look around during the morning. The town was / is a very Catholic town, so there are many churches and cathedrals around which are really beautiful.
The two pictures here are of the main Dome Cathedral in Mainz.
It was really nice to be in a place that wasn't crowded with people, and had some really beautiful old buildings.
