Hi amiga. Please be aware that Leipzig has had a neo-nazi ressurgence over the last few years. It is a very beautiful and pictoresque town but do be careful and do not walk around to far late alone at night.
I wwas there relatively recently and on this occasion was in a night club with several academics and medics from Europe. They were in silent awe when a beautiful blond lady fixed eyes with mine and walked towards me. She leaned over and spoke in my ear. She then said:
Please be careful here ok. There are a lot of racists that will want to hurt you.
I then saw on TV some time later a documentary which highlighted the increase in the number of attacks on foreign students locally. There is quite a bit on Leipzig and racism on the internet particularly in relation to students and the local football clubs. It is no surprise that many anti-racism meetings/conferences are held there.
