| entrance to the chocolate factory |
There were many tourist in this chocolate factory, so I paid 14.50euros for the entrance and walked up to the 2nd floor to start the museum walk. At the start of the museum walk, the front desk man will check your ticket and there was a bowl of chocolates - which he pointed go ahead but this German tourist lady gave me a stare when I took 2. I am not sure why German women are so curt, rude and unfriendly.
