We got a little burned on Hamburg after a few days and felt like a smaller laid back town would suit us fine.  So we picked bremen, a smaller place on the way to Amsterdam.  Turns out, Bremen was not so small but it turned out to be legit.  We were greeted by a large population of angsty gothic Germans with all sorts of hot topic-esque accessories who were most likely talking about the latest twilight flick.  I should point out though that this was not why Bremen was legit.  It was pretty amazing how similar the city felt to Boise.  It was bigger, but it had a river running through it with a greenbelt and very similar trees.  We walked along the river for a while and found a huge beerfest in session so we joined the fun.  A couple beers later while watching the sun go down over an even larger river, we went and grabbed a kebab for dinner.  The place we ate at had to of been the fanciest kebab shop I’ve ever been to.  The guy made us sit while he meticulously put together a professionaly garnished plate.  The kebab was the size of two large burritos and was only 4 euros so I was pretty sold on the town.  Bremen was awesome for the cheap food, cheap beer, boise feel, and a small hostel run by a nice Greek lady that tried very hard to make us comfortable.  In hindsight I wish we could’ve stayed in that town for a few more days.
