So me and my German friends decided to go to Munich for Friday and Saturday. Let me just start out by saying that we didn't see close to 40% of the city. It is massive and if you want to visit I suggest 4 to five days. Anyway we left Winterthur and traveled through Austria and then got into Munich at about 1 in the afternoon. We checked into our hostel and then took a train into the heart of the city. Munich is beautiful to say the least. All the buildings are old, there's tons of churches and plazas to see. I got to work on my German skills as well. I am now what I call childlike meaning I can hold small simple conversations. So we walked all through the city and I was amazed how many parks Munich had. They were massive to, not some small plot of land. So we walked around and then went back to the hostel to shower and go see one of my friends buddies at a small German style pub. First off when you enter the pub there are long benches, no individual tables so you just have to walk up and sit down next to some strangers. Took a little getting used to but it wasn't a major concern a
fter about 15 minutes. So we ordered some beers and then my friends suggested I get the Hacksen. It is the piece of meat you see me with in the pic. Jesus skateboarding christ that thing was massive. It also came with some potato looking thing and a sourkraut salad. All that for 13 euros or about 16 dollars. I ate what I could before my stomach ripped in half. Meanwhile we kept drinking beer. Then after dinner we sat around for about 2 hours just drinking some more. Then went out to the club district. It was cool cause they had an old industrial plant/complex that they converted into clubs restuaraunts and bars.

The next day we hit an old palace, saw the stadium where the soccer team plays, toured the local university and then hit the HofBrau Haus. This place is like what you see in the movies. Huge indoor beer hall that serves 1 li
ter beers. Just one big massive party. The food was good as well. My friend remarked that thank god we didn''t come there yesterday like we were thinking about doing because as he put it it would have been mass murder. He was probably right. Come to think of it if I didn't eat an entire pig the night before it probably would have been mass murder as well but anyway. We had some beers there and then went to another bar so my friend could watch his favorite soccer team play. Soccer over here is insane. We were in this small back room packed with other fans. There were about 5 or 6 different games going on at the same time. There were chanting, yelling, laughing you name it. And they were drinking like fish.

All in all a fun trip and I will have to make it back to Munich in the future.
