I am going to be living in heidelberg for 4 months to study there and i will have weekends to travel, as well as about 10 days when i first arrive. i would love to spend the weekends travelling around germany, especially the moselle river (vinyards), rhine river (castles). I would also like to travel to Amsterdam for a few days before classes start. I looked online and a Train will cost about $160, is there a cheaper way to get around? Maybe busses? Is there a web site anyone can reccomend?

Can anyone recommend places to see, eat, shop and so forth in and around heidelberg? I will be living there for 16 weeks while i go to school to learn the language, and would love to know where the locals go!!

I will be living in germany (heidelberg) for 4 months to study, and i want to buy a cheap cell phone to use while there, can they be bought or rented there inexpensively?

i see several people have gotten all the magical fish on fish tycoon - bu i am wondering if anyone has gotten it on the free ontine version?? and how long did it take?
