Am Moosfeld Hotel Munich

... center square in town. Here there are a bunch of restaurants, a few street performers, and the old Rathaus (the town hall). We went to eat at a lot of traditional Bavarian restaurants that served Wurst, Sauerkraut, Kartoffelsalat (potato salad), and the best beer in Europe!

One day we all went to the Deutsches Museum, which is full of science, technology, aerospace and engineering. This was so COOL! I think Marek liked it a lot too, as there were a lot of hands-on things to ...

It would have been easy to spend more time in Croatia, but I had to get to Germany for Oktoberfest. I had arranged to meet my friend Nadine from school in Stuttgart and head to Munich for the weekend. Nadine left work to pick me up at the train station (my night train was 4 hours late) and dropped me off at her place, where her cousin Dominique was also staying. We were both exhausted and not feeling like doing much, so ...

Very nice, huge but easily navigated, clean airport. It’s 5:30 a.m. our time (12:30 p.m. here), we’ve had little or no sleep but we’re drinking wine by golly!! Let the games begin....

Had to take a bus from our terminal to our plane ... that was a first for me. When they announced that ...

... the statues representing the city's worst fears: hunger, war, pestilence, and "other religions." There was also a painting of Munich in 1634 that, from a distance, looked relatively "typical." With his trusty pen, Joseph pointed out a hanging, two warring friends cuffed together atop a 9 foot tall "horse" for 3 days (Medieval peer mediation), pickpockets, travellers, and, due to the lack of public "facilities," certain individuals excreting. Rich adds they ...

... Yes, you read correctly; H&M in Munich is like Starbucks in Vancouver. I bought me two of them trippy sweaters for €20. I then went shopping for my family, cause you know, I'm a very nice person (see my halo?). I went to Hirmer, which is this five-floor department store just for men -- a rarity anywhere. I was contemplating whether to buy my dad a nice tie or a nice belt. I went for the belt. :) It was worth my €25. :) I then went to this popular girl ...

Today, I visited the Nymphenburg Palace, which was really nice and beautiful. The palace was the summer residence of the rulers of Bavaria. The Palace is enormous and together, with its park, is one of the most famous sights in Munich. There were many sculptures, but ...

... human beings I met throughout my travels and I enjoyed spending time with both of them. As we walked toward the entrance to the rail station the sun was coming up in the east. Its rays were exploding out of a bank of clouds lying low on the horizon in the most brilliant hues of magenta, orange and yellow. The sky literally looked like it was on fire and I knew it was going to be a good day. I was on my way to the Hauptbahnhof where I would catch a train to Füssen for the day to ...

... every nation it seemed, got drunk and watched the World Cup. We met some Australians that sat with us. Did I mention we got drunk? When I say drunk, I mean this day ended here for us. We all managed to get back to our hotel. I only have a very, very foggy memory of this and apparently we all passed out until the next day. Ya know what, it was damn worth it! Today was Dachau Concentration Camp ...

... more who lived in the 170 villages in the territory of about 150 square miles. *** Being located on the trading route meant that many of the traders had to spend time (and money) in Rothenburg. *** Every citizen was required by law to store grain to last the family a whole year in the event enemies sieged the town. *** The food was stored on the highest floor of the buildings where it was dry and away from the dirty, wet streets and the rats. *** Salt was needed to preserve meat ...
