Augsburg 2007

Finally I am back. Sorry for disappearing for so long. Better finish up this series of blogs before I forget the details.
3Jan07. Augsburg. Once a major trading center due to its strategic location on the trade routes to Italy. There were nothing much to see, only the Fuggerei was standout. It is a small district built by the rich Fugger family way back in 1516 to house the needy citizens of Augsburg. Incredibly, until today the houses there are still rented to needy Augsburg people with an unbelievable annual rent of 0.88 Euro together with prayers three times a day for the Fugger family.
