Sunday in Hanover

After dinner in Berlin on Saturday night, we drove and stayed overnight at Hanover, again at a hotel nearby to the motorway. Hanover is only a 2-hour drive from Berlin. A world expo was held here in 2000 (German's first) and since then this place has been the venue of lots of exhibitions.

On Sunday the clock got forwarded by an hour to offset the 1-hour daylight saving during the winter. That means 1 hour less sleep. Also Maghrib is now around 8.15 pm and Isha close to 10 pm.

On Sunday, we drove to the Hanover city centre to have lunch. We found from the internet a very nice Turkish restaurant in town called Urfa. The workers are actually mixed between Iraqis and Turkishs. Outside the restaurant, one could see a large mural drawing showing a scene from the middle East. Normally this sort of things are always a target for some racist, anti-Islamic or graffiti attacks, but apparently not in this case.

Here’s a short video I took showing how a bread filled with meat called Pide is made. The shop owner was also in the middle shooting a commercial for his shop.
