Now in Munich

I am now in Munich. Today I went and walked around in the centre of town and checked out main Neuhausen Strasse, the Hofbrauhaus as well as the Viktuahan (sp?) market.

There are a surprising number of people visiting Munich. Surprising because it is a very dark and rainy day and it is over a month since Oktoberfest.

I visited the Hofbrauhaus which is the most famous of the German beer drinking houses. It was mostly full of bloated looking people. I might just be jealous though ... because I did not feel comfortable drinking on my own so I just had a look and took a picture. Perhaps tomorrow, I´ll find someone to go with.

The Viktuahan market was very impressive and a surprise. This market has an amazing selection of tasty things. Tasty things such as all sort of different mushrooms, truffles (the mushroom type), olives, figs, nuts, cheeze, pickles and fresh pasta. I have never seen such a variety of food in such a small place. I think this market would be a major benefit for living here. I was tempted to buy a truffle (the mushroom type) but I wasn´t sure what to do with it. Do you just eat it? It looked like it wanted to be prepared, so I opted for a huge Buffallo Mozzerella ball. Picture someone eating a Mozzeralla like an apple. An apple the size of an orange.

Tomorrow´s plan is to go see their top football team FC Banyern Munchen play and take a walking tour. Football is more German than Hockey, so buying the football ticket made more sense. I hope the weather clears up tho.
