Have To Admit It's Getting Better

marienplatz

 Within 3 hours of arriving in Munich I knew that I wanted to stay forever. After arriving at the hostel, the first hostel I've ever stayed in, we left to take a bike tour. We had an Australian guide, Chris, who gave us quite the tour, and we ended up going out with him that night.

Bratwurst, Sauerkraut, boiled potatoes, and beer

The tour was not what made me love Munich. It's so different from Berlin in that it is more laid back. People are not rushing everywhere, and even though the person who served me food at the bike tour beer garden was rude, that was the only bad encounter I have had with anyone here so far.

River surfing-on the ride back from the beer garden we saw people surfing in a river!

So here is my plan for living in Munchen with my best friend Samantha, a.ka. "Pet," I am going to play the flute as a street performer and Pet is going to be a gypsy. We'll live in a tent and collect bottles in times of desperation for some food. I'll keep you updated with further plans.

Group Funf Torte: "Work hard, twerk harder"

Our entire Munich Maymester group decided to go out on Thursday night for a little "twerk sesh." After arriving at the end of the U train line, we came to a crowded deck-like area with 2 convenience /food stores facing each other.There were a lot of young people just hanging around talking and casually sipping beer. It was still too early to go to the club--an appropriate time to go in Berlin is around 1am. After having a few beers ourselves the group emigrated to the club where after entering we immediately started jumping up and down and dancing. Of few of us, including myself, made our way to a stage where we continued dancing. It was one of the most fun nights I've had in my life. The atmosphere in the club was unlike any other I had been to. Everyone was loving life, drinking, dancing, and we were all getting along so well. The compatibility of our group is incredible, since we're all such different people, with the exception of all being in journalism. In the words of Kurt Vonnegut, "Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt." Truly a night of bliss. I also met at lovely Scottish boy that I intend to marry. I'll keep you updated on how that goes.
