Cologne, Germany: People have a strange love for clowns

I like this city very much. In fact, the trains, buses or MRT are not really very convenient. People usually still need to walk for a while to get to tourist attractions and cinemas from the station exit (this probably explains why so many people ride bicycles. Besides being cheaper, it is easier to get from point to point and you can take the train). But this is a city where everyone is willing to walk. Compared to the Nordic countries, prices in Germany are very low, and if you have a kitchen, you can buy discounted meat. There are many churches in this city, and street artists often paint on the floor outside the churches. Please donate more if you can. The most famous thing in Cologne is its Cathedral, which is also near the station. No tickets are required, but donations are welcome, as the church is not easy to maintain. This is a Catholic church. We visited during Sunday service. I think their church members are really amazing. They managed to ignore the large group of tourists coming in and out behind us. In addition, Cologne also has an annual clown carnival in November. My friend said that this is because Germans are usually more serious, but they can let themselves go during the carnival. However, you will find clown souvenirs in many places, such as coasters, magnets, medals, etc.
