Gruss Gott!  So, I learned today that Munich is Germany's most popular city.  In fact, surveys show that if given a choice (and lots of money...Munich, with its high rents and public transportation costs, is Germany's most expensive city,) half of the German population would live here.  I can totally see why.  This ...

    I arrived in Munich yesterday with my sister Sarah, and our sister Bryn arrived today from England, so the moment we have dreamed of for so long has now become a reality.  We are so happy to be with each other so far from home, and at this special time of year.  Germany really is the land of Christmas, and at times f...

We're here! I should probably call it Oktoberfest, because that's the correct name and German people don't know what you're talking about it if you call it Beerfest. Arrived Friday night on a cheap flight from Standstead. I like Stanstead, it is nicer than Gatwick for some reason but not as big as Heathrow of course. Trudie went to town at the j...

Seeing as it is the 3rd of August we were unfortunately not able to attend Oktoberfest, in the proper place of origin...Munich!

A return trip to...

When we first rocked up in Munich it was late arvo and for the first time the weather is descent upon an arrival at a place - nearly all the time its ra...

After 9 hours on the train we arrived in Munich, Germany for the 2nd time this year.  It was not Oktoberfest relived, but still not so far from it.  We waited at the train station until about 8 or so in the morning.  We were waiting for some of Duong's cousins to show up.  Once they arrived we decided to walk around munich an...
