Like I said, we visited the Expo 2000, which was a great experience! We visited many different pavilions, smoked a water pipe in the building of Yemen, and of course we had a nice cool Heineken beer in the pavilion of The Netherlands!
CAFÈ CALDO
by Juliet67 about CAFÈ CALDO
The name of this bar may give you a hint about the guests: they are mainly gay. This does not exclude heterosexuals who are always welcome. Together they occasionally celebrate exessive parties. Those who have once submerged in the cosy cafe bar while drinking liters of champaign with ice cream appreciate the atmosphere and the drinks. The motto parties at Cafe Caldo are legend. The team invites for 'Schlampenball' and unforgettable New-Year's-Eve-Parties, which usually cause the team to buy loads of new dishes and glasses afterwards. Well, pieces of broken glass mean good fortune.
A favourite of the guests are hot drinks. Usually they sit there peacefully slurping their drinks away at their bistro tables surrounded by mirrors, green plants and pictures and it's then they get the Cafe Caldo feeling: 'warm uns Herz...'
Specials: 24.11. Early Christmas party, Carnival
Beer: König Pilsener, Budweiser, Kölsch
Favourite Drinks:
Kölsch 0,2 l DM 2,50, Caipirinha DM 11,00

old town
by Lucky79
In the days before the Second World War there was a large old town in the centre of Hannover with narrow lanes and many half-timbered buildings from the Middle Ages. A lot of poor people lived there under bad conditions. Ordinary Hannoverians stayed away from the old town because they also considered it a place of crime and demimonde. The historic value of the picturesque old buildings interested but a few.
After the bombing raids of the Second World War there was almost nothing left of Hannover's old town. Forty old half-timbered buildings remained, twelve thereof in Knochenhauer-, Kramer- and Burgstraße. During the rebuilding of Hannover, parts of the old buildings, mainly the facades, were transferred and concentrated in this area. So today they form a "new old town" in Hannover's oldest part.
Hannover's oldest and most picturesque half—timbered building can be found amidst new buildings, there is Hannover's oldest church, the Kreuzkirche, built in 1333. The interieur was destroyed in the Second World War.
