I was the only one that went to school today in our family. The girls had parent-teacher interviews all day, wish we got a day off!! I had to wait at the train station 30 minutes, freaking trains!! Always delayed!!
I came to school late and then left early, the last 2 periods were Latin and English, The English teacher hates me, and anyone that can speak English better than she can (anyone who has been on exchange for at least 3 months). Her example of good English: "This is about Sub-urban children" (quite literally a 1 second gap between sub and urban). Apparently she is not the worst English teacher!!
I took the train into Munich. The German train service is very clean, pretty efficient and it goes almost everywhere, but for that you as a customer have to pay lots of $$$.
The main train station has a lot of dodgy looking people and for about half an hour I felt like I absolutely didn't want to be there. Heading towards Marienplatz on foot I saw many different nationalities, more than what you usually see in Starnberg - German, German, German, German, Turk, German, German, German, you get the picture.
At Marienplatz you really feel like Christmas is alive!! The Christmas Market is about a kilometre long and in some places 10 stalls wide, its amazing and that is not the only Christmas Market in Munich, there are heaps more!
The food is excellent, I found the best poppyseed cake and it wasn't even that expensive, it is basically what Babusia Lena makes, just less dough and heaps more poppyseed, I know which stall I'll be visiting again. I took lots of photos, I will try to upload some to Facebook by Sunday night, get a selection of the approximately 1000 photos I have taken so far!!!
The Apple Store is cooler than the one in Australia, it is bigger and central, two storeys. They have everything you need in any type of shop. Galleria Kaufhof is like David Jones. It has a food hall underneath with international food, top-quality bread and of course, long christmas shopping queues. There are lots of Collins St type shops scattered around the place - eg Tiffany & Co. I visited the "Residenz". Not sure what it is, need to check in my tourist attraction book. They had a small Christmas village there and a man out front playing Christmas tunes, even a proper camera crew came to tape him.
I was really cool and I can't wait to go visit it again, at the latest Tuesday week!
Love Anton
