Arrived at the central train station (hauptbahnhof) and have no idea how can I get to the dorm.
Lost in the central area and with no idea how the city operates, where should I wait for the bus (even Google Maps can’t help me 😰). And to make things worse, my 30kg suitcase 🧳 malfunctioned (the wheels broke).
But anyway, I am still here after all that because I got help from a friend who guide me back to the dorm (and only then I realized the dorm is pretty far from the city centre).

Maybe it won’t be as exciting as big/touristy city but who know you will have some exclusive memories for your own that barely any traveller ever have, a story that you can tell years to come.
