If I ever make it back to Epcot to do the whole "Drinking around the World"
thing (I'm a light weight so I'd have to take a whole day to complete the
achievement) I'd really look forward to my time in Germany with some great
German beer.
The Rhine River Cruise ride for Germany came a lot closer than any of the
other planned rides for the World Showcase to actually happening as the
building for it was constructed at the back of the pavilion. It's
remains are now part of the Biergarten restaurant and the rest us used for
storage and other backstage things.
Next up it's time to venture back to the Orient as we visit China.
The centerpiece of the China Pavilion is a recreation of the Taoist Temple
of Heaven that was built in 1406 in Beijing by the Emperor Yongle who was
also responsible for building China's Forbidden City.
