    Heidleberg, Germany

    The romantic town of Heidelberg was our first stop into Germany. It's odd to think with all the traveling we've done that we are only now stepping into Bavaria.

    Primarily, Heidelberg is a University town. Its population of 160K is said to be 1/4 students. This is Germany's oldest University. It has also produced a fairly large IT industry here. SAP is headquartered only 15 minutes from here. The university costs only €186.35 for Germans and foreigners need only spend €1,500 a semester.
