Days 11-13a: Winging It

We cut it even closer this time. It wasn't until we were already on the train that we received confirmation that we had a place to sleep in Munich. On the first night, we stayed with a Turkish guy named Baran. He is a business student at the University of Munich. We dropped our bags at his flat an he took us around the city. For only living in Munich for a year, he knew a surprising amount about the history of the city. We eventually had dinner in the most touristy place in town: The Hofbräuhaus. Whatever, it was fun. They had shows consisting of Bavarian dancers and instruments along with traditional Bavarian food. The beers only come in full liters which were almost more expensive then my actual meal.

A lot of old buildings in Munich, like most of Europe, had to be rebuilt because of WWII

Our host for the following night was a true Bavarian. He had Amanda order the drinks in Bavarian - not German - and also treated us to a traditional Bavarian breakfast the following day. Breakfast consisted of fresh sausage, pretzels, and, of course, weissbier (wheat beer). Bavarian culture is really where all the fun German culture comes from. Think Oktoberfest.
