Theres so much to write about that I dont know how to really type it down. I feel myself not being able to concentrate much lately, is it just me? I somehow cant study with music on, not even type/blog about anything.


Probably most of you guys know; I've just got back from Germany on the 23rd of January. To sum most of the stuff up, it have been such a wonderful time, pretty hard to describe in words, how excited, happy, lucky I was being able to visit Germany. Well, I did not go to any other major cities except Munich, Germany and some small towns around Bavaria. Namely Kochel, Starnberg in particular.


Lotsa meaty, pork in particular and land of beer. Bought a really really big mug - One Litre in size, just imagine. I was told that they have it during the Oktoberfest or beer festival where the minimum serving is like one litre of beer straight. woooh.


Day 1:


Landed around 2:15pm at Franz Josef Strauss International Airport . Pretty frustrated since I bought the Financial Times at the airport NOT KNOWING Lufthansa provide them for free together with good business magazines. BAH. Picked up by Jun, and the weather was just amazzzing, so sunny, nice and warm. Its really weird cause in the UK, it can be equally sunny but somehow you wont feel the warmth from the sunray whilst its different in Germany where u actually feel the HEAT. Went up to Olympics Tower having a 360 deg view around Munich especially was amazing while getting a small glance of the alps further south.

Stayed over at Juns house, thanks to his parents, Uncle Ingo and Aunt Yumiko and sister Sayuri which made the stay enjoyable and funny especially during meals.


Day 2:

I was brought around the city, churchs, council buildings and public squares. It was amazing and somehow a really modern, developed country dont actually have a set of tall, offices etc which I use to think most modern countries have them. The buildings were rather nice, better architecture compared to most countries I'd say. Had some pickled/preserved food in olive oil and tasted really good. I took the "spicy" stuff and somehow felt cheated. Not even spicy when they call it spicy, perhaps having alot of spice sounds right. Had a small picnic on the stairs- was good.





Packed pickled/perserved food on the stairs. Getting ready.



Day 3:


Wow, amazing day I have to say, imagine cycyling for perhaps 15km to the city and BACK. hahahah, it was so much fun to do it although tiring but ah well was well worth it especially cycling around the river up the city. Watching people walking their dogs, swans lazing around on a sunny day. Somehow spectacular. Cycled to this lake which was semi frozen, the sides were still not frozen fully but Jun suggested we go ice skating in shoes. WAS HELL FUN, great experience since u actually hear ice cracking. hahahahha, imagine the excitement and the risk. Oh yeah, Im really light so who cares :P. Jun being his usual crazy self tried cycling on ice when the wheels did submerge a lil and I called him to get out. lol.

And meeee :D

Poser Jun. Typical.


Just fooling around near the river. Cycling pitstop.






Outside the governments office.



The bikes we took to the city.



I love this picture. Taken at the park.



Another GOOD picture.



The park behind us. Massive and nice.



The day I fell in love with Leberkäse and given the chance to try the famous Bratwurst. Hung out around the park situated right in the city centre. life.

The some sort of fast food u get in Germany. The menu.


This is the Leberkäse or Leberkäs the germans call.

Outside a greek/german museum



The last few days were spent pretty relaxingly, was seriously tired after each night. Frequently falling asleep in cars and on the couch after all the going around. Visit to Kochel which is a small town near the Alps as mentioned. Starnbergs famous for the huge lake and its amazing as well. Relaxing place where one can seek serenity.


Struggling up to the peak.



Amazing view.

Damn poser. hahaha

Lake Starnberg.




Sunny boys

Feeling at peace.



Not forgetting a really fun day at the Pinakothek Museum of Modern Art. Mixed feelings and emotions potrayed by paintings. They had an exhibition on Alex Beckmann's work - a german who got exiled during Hitler's time.




Find my name (Johnson) and Sayuri's. ps: its based on height.

Find Jun and Ingo!

All around the wall. really cool.




:o

Foooling around. Funn.

I truly did enjoy the trip to Germany tho a really short one. Thanks to the Rentschlers.


The End
