The children's vacation came again.
France has many vacations. Go to school for six weeks and vacation for two weeks. Combined with two weeks of vacation and two months of summer vacation, there are five vacations per year. That's a total of four months off.
From last December to early January, I had four children a day including snacks, and I went to the kids-oriented field trips and outings. That's a sign that six weeks of time went by.
Children here see the February vacation as a ski vacation.
The cost of learning and riding skis is low from 3-4 years old, and many children go to the Alps or Pyrenees to ski with their parents on vacation.
The children are left to the ski instructors, so adults can enjoy skiing freely, and parents are waiting for the ski vacation.
One of the reasons that sports are hard to enjoy in Korea is cost. When I came to Paris and went to the sporting goods store (Decathlon), I was surprised to find that sports-related clothing and equipment were very cheap. The sturdy soccer shoes are 12 euros and the hydroponic is only 5 euros. I can't wait to see the quality of items related to tennis, soccer, basketball, swimming, skiing, running, yoga, hiking, cycling, and skating at low prices.

The children's friends left for skiing, but my family went to Heidelberg, Germany on a three-night, four-day schedule. Skiing has been delayed by the next year when children will become better at French, but in fact, even parents, we haven't been skiing since we've only skied three or four times.
Then, when he heard of the event that he would like to attend in Heidelberg, he decided to go to Heidelberg.
He traveled on a large tourist bus, which was cheaper than the train, and arrived in Heidelberg in a total of seven hours, including a mandatory rest stop at the rest stop. At the first rest area, I had breakfast with my mother's table sandwich, and at the second rest place, I had lunch with my father's ticket. I saw that I sold a poor sandwich near 10 euros at the rest area, and I thought I was good at preparing sandwiches and yubu sushi.
It was boring to take a break in the middle, but it was not as hard as I thought.

Finally, we arrived at our destination.
Entering Germany, the atmosphere was quite different from France. The houses were also monotonous and seemingly deprived of their strength compared to the houses in Paris.
Maybe it's an old city that opened in the 14th century and a trace of the history of nearly 1000 years.
Heidelberg is a university city built around the city, but he felt something calm and restrained and quiet rather than the youthful and vibrant energy of youth.
Heidelberg University is Germany's first university and the world's leading university with 56 Nobel Prize winners.

The hostel was clean and the room was excellent.
Breakfast is full of various cheeses such as Camembert, Emmental and Cheddar and various sausages and breads with cheese or paprika in red or white circles or squares like sundae and various yofle and fruit drinks. Dinner served German food with a rich salad, mainly pasta, potatoes, smoked meat steaks or roasted meat.
There was a zoo right next to the hostel, where the event organizer arranged a finale of the zoo on the last day. It was an event where only teachers and children participated, so we could not go to the zoo, but the children were very satisfied.
From the back door of the hostel, there is a promenade running along the Neka River. As I walked, I could see the inside of the zoo with animals such as flamingos, raccoons and foxes and playgrounds through the barbed wire.
Strolling in nature while looking at the mountains and the river at the same time, walking in the clear air and sunshine is fascinating everywhere.
Heidelberg is such a beautiful and tranquil city, where mountains, rivers and castles blend together.
If you look at Paris, you can't think of Korea. Looking at the simple mountains here, you can see the beautiful ridges of Mt. Inwang and Mt. Bukhan.
If Paris is a city of brilliant and refined art, Heidelberg was an intelligent and unaffected, noble city. Looking at the bridges of Paris, shining at night, day, and glamorous and elegant, the city's old, boring bridges, which are quietly located at night without any lights, seemed to be interesting.

You have time to tour during the event. We didn't have enough time to leave our children and leave our couple.
It takes only 45 minutes to walk from the youth hostel to Bismarck Square, but since we can only use one minute, we bought an all-day pass (€ 4.85) to the bus driver until 3 am the next day. . In Germany, you just get on the bus without checking your ticket. However, random checkers get on the bus at random to check that the passengers have the right tickets. We also faced the checkers on that day and had the confidence to show the ticket.
The Philosopher's Path (Philosophenweg), a famous philosopher of Kant, Goethe, Hegel, and others, was renowned for its stigmatization and was destroyed by 30 years of religious wars and thunderbolts. I had to be content to see from afar.
The student prison, which is also famous as a tourist attraction, was overlooked with just enough pictures. In this huge Gothic and Baroque church, built as a Heidelberg University church, there was a great deal of conflict and division between Jesuits and Protestants after the religious war. It is now where Protestantism established a wall in the church and worshiped separately, and now it is a Protestant church. However, the history inside the church, where the light is warm enough through stained glass, was so peaceful that this historical fact was so plain.

He walked through the old town and entered his favorite cafe, sharing coffee and cakes against the backdrop of the charming alley, sharing a hearty conversation with the groom.
The bridegroom and I are inclined and polar. Like any couple, she is a ten-year-old couple who has been married after five years of love by the opposite charm. We are both born with fiery energy, and anger is built up in our bodies and on our bodies, thanks to our crooked and uneven home environment. That's why I met them in their early 20's and loved them with all their heat and soul, and after their passion disappeared, they fought like crazy to fight each other. However, I think that such a couple can be a true soulmate so far, not only because they love but also because they continue to talk without giving up after fighting.
Often couples are drawn to each other's differences, but the moment the love temperature cools down, they get tired of each other. Misunderstanding and sadness accumulate because communication is not possible due to differences in environment, inclination, lifestyle, and perception When the pods are peeled off and you become accustomed to yourself, the tension in the relationship disappears. Fights are frequent and affectionate, so you can't afford to embrace each other. Divorce is not possible for many reasons, so most people live their roles, defend their territory, and barely live in partnerships. When you fight and fight, only the deepening hurts, you avoid the deep conversation from the heart. The relationship between marriage and sex has disappeared. Couples who live up close and endure each other for their children while giving up each other are too close to us.
We both had such parents. He grew up under an irresponsible father in a family where marital struggles were commonplace. As a result, such couples had a commitment not to be parents.
But there were also moments of crisis in which our couples were inadvertently breaking down their relationships as if they were ruined by an unexpected raid. However, at such moments, I tried to talk persistently, spitting out small emotions so as not to leave even a small sediment of my heart. There were times when it struck back into fierce fighting, attacking each other's most secret wounds, and at the moment of kneeling and crying and apologizing to each other. Nevertheless, we tried not to leave even the smallest residue of feelings toward each other. As we grew up fighting and talking repeatedly, we grew older. He learned how to recognize and respect each other as they are.
The most important time for us is to have children free of charge and talk. The conversation encourages or comforts each other, reveals angry or sad feelings to each other, seeks advice or argues about things, checks the direction of life together, plans the future, reflects on the past and reflects on them. Sometimes.
We tried to fight hard and communicate persistently. Of course, the past process of matching different languages has been painfully painful. At the stage of disarming all egos and egos in front of each other, they also shed blood tears. Then I realized that you and I are different.
We have learned how inefficient and exhausting our relationship is to immerse ourselves in proving the right of one's arguments by demonstrating the right and legitimacy of their arguments and subduing them. So now, if you see signs of fighting, you can immediately enter the conversation mode, and you have the right to communicate on the premise that you are right and I am right. Of course, there are still times when you can't endure the emotions of the moment but fight with them, but our know-how to fight well and communicate well is increasing.
And try to find out as much as possible of your spouse's hard work, but do not try to satisfy your desire by asking the other person to acknowledge you. It is because man knows that even his own forehead is a feeble being. As a result, we feel that our relationship develops into a relationship that is more than a close friend.
Since we can see phenomena and objects from more different aspects through different things, wisdom is doubled, and we experience a mysterious experience in which each disadvantage is filled with each other's strengths.
Through many conflicts and conversations, what we have come to realize now is the fact that the differences between each other complement each other, creating a great synergy for couples in a team and deepening and deepening relationships.
So I look forward to our 10 years later. My husband's 10-year-olds aren't really good, but her husband is growing up. Ten years later, it is expected to mature into an attractive middle-aged man with a deeper personality.
Germany is famous for its cheap food and daily necessities. It is so cheap that most are less than half the price of France.
I also went to a store called dm and had a huge hoarding. Effervescent Vitamin (0.40), Cold Candy (2.25) and Tea (0.95), Hand Cream (0.90), Hair Loss Shampoo (4.55), Carrot Oil (2.75), Q10 Cream (2.95), Menstrual Cup (9.95), Toothpaste (2.45) ), Organic soap (0.75), cotton (0.80), etc. I bought a lot. Potato chips are also close to 3 euros in Paris, at 0.88 euros. A trolley or haribo jelly is also 0.99 euros. Cookies are also gluten-free, and most seasoned flours such as garlic and onions are natural.
This trip to Heidelberg was a great time for children to make new friends and participate in various programs such as movies, plays, games, and making.
Germany is another European country that we first visited in France. It was a short time, but it was good to be able to feel and experience people's impressions and country atmosphere differently from Paris, France.
The next vacation destination was planned in the Netherlands, where a middle school friend and a junior college student lived, but it is unknown whether the financial situation will be realized.
I'll tighten my belt again.
