My sister was shopping for some flipflops. It is funny while analyzing how European fashion differs from North-American fashion.

We also decided to pay a visit to the Beer Museum. They even had old beer bottles from before the war. It was pretty cool to see the evolution of beer and bottles throughout the decades.
