Derag Hotel Max Emanuel 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!<br><br>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 ...

... let alone 5. After the second lap a waitress ask us if we are looking for a seat. She finds a table in her section that looks completely full and somehow squeezes five of us into it. We are crammed in with a bunch of Welsh guys on their third day of 9am starts but are in surprisingly good condition for having 4+ hours on us. <br><br>We all had some liter beers (including Jen - although I had to finish it), sang, chatted with our new friends and people ...

Munich.. were to start? It became my second home really. I arrived there after going through Paris(ugh) and fell instantly inlove with the city, its people.. and most importantly its beer!<br><br>After a couple weeks of bumming around i ended up finding a job working for Insomniacs Night Life tour and the SunSet DJ lounge.. it was awesome. <br>

... most of the time. Overall, the weather is alot like in Seattle. My favorite visit was to the Englischer Garten where I walked from the Southern end to the end of the lake in the Nothern end. I took alot of photos here. There is alot of hiking area and park area. Streams run thoughout the park area which leads to the lake. There are also a few Bier Gartens. I also enjoyed the ...

... made it through. It was here we had our first test of the "Real or Replica" game, where we had to decide if the building was real or a replica. There are two indicators - smoke damage and bullet holes. If a building is blackened and has bullet holes in it, it is real. Pretty easy, even for an American! (My overseas friends will chuckle at this I'm sure.) We stayed outside and at 11 a.m. watched the ...

... Chapel.That evening, I enjoyed a wonderful time at the Hofbrau Haus, the most famous beer hall in all of Munich. I paid a three dollar admission fee. I met some wonderful people, listened to authentic German music, and enjoyed a meal of Schnitzel mitt Knodel for fifteen dollars. I headed back to my hotel for a well needed rest. Day ...

Munich, Germany - September 20th to 24th, 2007 Oktoberfest has been one of my most eagerly anticipated adventures. Especially as I am quite partial to a nice cold beer. My friends organised everything for the Oktoberfest adventure which was really nice. Bit of a change not having to do anything as compared to travelling by myself in South America. Well after a quick flight from London we arrived late in the evening to Munich ...

... around that morning, Pia took the three of us to the Oktoberfest. First off, I should mention, I wasn't quite prepared for the size of this event. I thought it might be like the MN State fair or something. Ahh, no. In addition to the, what was it 14 main beer tents, there was a full-on carnival midway, amusement park rides, festival halls and showrooms displaying God knows what. I mean, this thing was big! And the people... I don't know if I've ever seen crowds like this. Not at ...

... to show what tipping 10 Euros to your guide on a free walking tour can get ya!). Anyhoo, the whole place was seriously creepy and I did have the constant thought that people had been brutally tortured and murdered and endured indescribable things in that place the WHOLE time I was there...but I´m so glad we went there. The whole place is kinda grey - grey buildings, grey walls, grey gravel...and it was even a grey overcast day today. And there´s an undeniable eeriness ...

... town the Griswalds went to in Germany when they thought they were staying with their long-lost relatives - "my wife and I are looking for sex". We found a small family brewery that made a beer called Pabst. We wanted to go inside and take a look but it looked closed so we didn't bother. Too bad, that would've been cool. After spending a few hours tooling around town, we were very happy with how things had worked out as the town was great and the B&B was very nice with a delish ...
