Munich



I had no idea how easy it was going to be to adjust to the 6 hour time change! Plane left at 9:45pm on 10/30 we arrived at noon on 10/31. Basically slept a few hours on the plane, then forced myself to stay awake until 10pm. The plane had all of the bathrooms downstairs which was really neat. Across the street from the hostel I am staying at the is best pizza I have in a 2 months. Yeah says a lot about the pizza I found in Chicago. Today, is a German holiday so everything is closed including school. Sort of a free day.. I am going with a few classmate on a walking tour and we will figure out how to make our way to school. (no one told us how to get from point a to point b. I have a feeling it might not be as easy as it was in Chicago, but there are many public transportation options.

  1. The German holiday is not actually just a German Holiday. Its All Saints Day. There is a large Catholic population.

  3. German's celebrate all the religious holidays even if they don't attend church. Most of their holidays are religious ones, it's a government thing from a long time ago.
    Enjoy every minute you are there. Have you see the Glockenspiel at the Marienplatz in Munich yet?
