Having relatives is a good thing. Not only do you have someone to love on and spend time with, but also you get to do fun stuff with them. Like going to the Landesgartenschau (a garden exhibition which different cities get to host), and for which my family happened to have free tickets so they could take me there. And I got to be with people I care about a lot, while at the same time enjoying the beauty of creation – and of German beer producing culture – all in one day.
