Nowadays,very few to find this old yellow public telephone box.In the past was under management of Post Office followed post office's color but now it's pink.The color of German Telecom as now they are in charge for public communication needs but very few in the form of box.Mostly are open and this one already running under German Telecom,only they kept the yellow box.I like more this old one form.
This shuttle train is on the way to the chocolate museum and sport museum.You can find it always in front of Roemisch Germanisches Museum right next to the Dom (The Cathedral) or sometimes right in front of the Dom platform and the yellow car is the taxi.FYI,these both museums are next door to each other,so don't get panic when you lost control in chocolate museum as you only need less than 3 minutes walk to the sport museum to get your shape back ;o) I will show you next time the chocolate museum.
This is where you have to buy your ticket to take tram or bus.It is touch screen service in multilingual and you can pay with coin or card.If you're in hurry to catch the tram or bus then you can still find this machine inside the tram and bus.Most of the validation box can be found inside the tram and bus as well.
I have posted in my begun of Cologne DP the inside of an old tram and this is what it looks like from outside.

Here is The Hohenzollern Bridge where I took the last 2 days posted. As you can see at the end right of the bridge, the wall uses by the amateur climber. Also seen in far behind the bridge is a tower where the Cologne's Rhine Park located (remember my 'Blue Sheeps' ;o). On top of the tower is a restaurant and the orange thing on the bridge was supposed to be a 'Fish' sign for the German Evangelical's Day, a kind of World Youth's Day that was held from 6-10 June this year and here one more photo just to show where I stood for yesterday photo.
Have a nice Sunday to all!
Not tried to shot another night scene but when in underground station is always night scene :o) As can see the three are public telephones which are provide by German Telecom. We have still plenty of public telephones in Cologne in this century of Mobile Phones but not all are provide by German Telecom. The man is using an internet service which can be pay with card or coins. This kind is only provide by German Telecom and it's touch screen with web cam attached. It's efficient for tourist or anyone who just need a quick connection to chat live or just a short e-mail but there is also Internet Cafe in Cologne.
Actually,this tube? or box? (please,name it) is for advertising board but became efficient with the toilet service.To be honest,I've never use this public toilet as I feels weird and being watch naked once I finish and step out of the door in totally public view.Usually,I use the toilet in McDonalds, Burger King and Pals ;o) OR in department store.I'm still wonder how is look like inside ;o)
Just pay 50 cent and you can get inside this ATM (Automatic Toilet Machine) are you guys agree with my translation ;o)
On the right is the automatic machine to buy stamp and in multilingual service. You can use this machine for normal postcard and letter or if your envelope is not very heavy and very thick as the stamp price depend on size and weight of the letter. If you can see (click to enlarge photo) above the 'Briefmarken' sign is to measure the letter. The payment is with coins or card but the change money for coins will be as stamp instead of coins. So,when you don't need more stamp than better pay in exact amount as the machine said. When you have still a doubt than you can go to nearest post office and it's common when the queue is long ;o) and the left one is the box where you should drop-in your 'already with stamp stick on letter'. The white board is the schedule to empty the post mail box.
Confuse? how can you get inside? they are too close to each other,right? :-) or they mean to do that so you can still continue your conversation during "your nature calling" as you can see in the back they prepare and it will be a skate board competition;...NO,NO,NO...these public toilets are not ready to use yet as I said they prepare but wait can you find the door?? Something funny also about the name on it,in German if you say 3 times that means you wish someone good luck,just like when you make finger cross but we don't make finger cross instead press your thumb inside your palm and say "Toi,Toi,Toi"
