Leipzig is a nice place in Germany. There's a big monument there called the voelkerschlachtdenkmal, which is why most foreigners just call it the big monument. It's worth a visit anyway, I never knew a monument could be so frightening, the massive spiral staircase with no handrail is quite good for inducing Vertigo. The town also has loads of disused warehouses that have been turned into clubs/pubs/art exhibitions, it's even got a disused mine that's been turned into a lake. Dresden is only a short train ride away, it has lot's of gold statues and the like, got bombed to fuck in the war.
