Munich

 

I came here not because there was anything in particular I wanted to see but mainly to get my flight out of this continent. Got a train from Prague early in the morning, which crossed into Germany without any passport checks. let's just say Czech language sounds better than German. These days the Czech side looks almost as modern as the German side.

I didn't make any reservations so I walked all over town looking for a place to stay for a night. I couldn't believe almost every hostel was full! Since I didn't care too much for Munich, I did have some thought of leaving immediately to Bangkok. Eventually I found a hostel, but the place kinda sucked with poor value for money. Although Sir Toby's in prague was expensive, it was an awesome hostel. Walked around town for a bit but it wasn't anything I haven't seen before. Decided to finally drag myself to go out for the night and went to some clubbing district called Kultfabrik. Turns out only one club out of about 40 was actually open that night! Cover charge was only 1 euro and didn't see too many stunnining women (twisted male/female ratio in this place), so left after midnight.

The next day, I visited the memorial site of the Dachau concentration camp and the site of the botched 1972 Olympic games. Somehow I found this more interesting than castles/old pedestrian streets. Quickly got to the airport at 7 for my 9 o clock flight. Munich airport: Airport modern, amenities not. How can such a modern airport, not have any kind of internet access, never mind free internet access?

Sat next to an Elisha Cuthbert look alike.. If it wasn't for the fact that I have seen Elisha in person before, I could've sworn it was her, albeit with a German acent. She was celebrating her birthday on the plane on her first long distance plane trip. Too bad she was going all the way to Australia rather than Bangkok.
