Germany, a country with very short history but probably most influential, positive and negative, to the world in the last century. This country brought to the world the most beautiful mind in the history of science, Einstein, whose theory of General Relativity remains the greatest victory of pure thinking and is part of my research area. I therefore took the advantage of some free time during and after the conference Loops'05 held at the Albert Einstein Institute, Potsdam, to look around and appreciate the spirit of Germany.
