so then we drove to Munich, which is actually called "munchen" but again, we can't say it right so we bastardize it with Munich. anyways we drove to bavarian beer country. ok wait random, so in czech republic they have a beer called "budwieser" and it's the original budwieser. so during communism they were not allowed to sell it internationally but now that the country is a democracy they are trying ot sell it around the world but america's bud is suening them. well come to find that czech bud has been brewed for like 500 years so actually american bud should change their name. random. anyways i saw lots of hops fields throughout bavaria. and then we drove into munich and i saw this!! another accenture building!
this one was pretty centrally located too.
we got to our hotel which was part of a chain of hotels called "novotel" it was pretty cool and had really nice funky decor. i recommend it. it's mainly business oriented so they have interent, a big plus. not my super cute organge purse i bought on the streets of lugano switzerland.
this was downtown munich and if you look really close you can find me up in front. i'll give you a hint, look for that mangy little blue hat. oh there i am! My mom and i ate a brat which was fucking amazing. we had to go back to split another because it was that good. then that night we went to a haufbrahauss. it's basically a beer hall and they have an oompa band and stuff. it's suuuuper cheesy and touristy but this time it was done in the right way.
apparently hitler used to hang out here. totally creepy. in fact alot of the buildings when they rebuilt them all over the city they left the bottom parts messed up to remind people of the horros of war.
so here was our waiter carrying over big steins of beer.
no serioulsy they were huge.
I put it next to my head so you could get some understanding of how huge it was.
and also i decided i kind of like german beer. pretty tasty and all that for 6 euro! eeemagine how drunk you could get on 12 bucks.
it was the end of the trip so in honor of being a tourist i decided to do an homage to the greatest tourists in the world. the japanese...this buds for you guys. Actually interesting story that this girl on the tour told me. this coudl be a lie but i choose to believe it. so i was wondering why asian tourists always do the peace sign. do they really want peace in the world? are they trying to spread love? well according to this girl it started because of the obsession with hello kitty. girls would put up their two fingers on both hands and hold each hadn up to their cheeks so it looked liek whiskers, hello kitty whiskers. anyways this got shortened and became the one handed whisker which we mistake for the peace sign. do you think this is true? i do.
i found this picture later on my mom's computer and i dont 'even know when she had time ot sit with a bunch of german men in leiderhousen. so random.
in the back they had these racks with locks where regualrs could rent out a spot for their stein. taht way when they come in they get to use their own glass and they drink beer from their glass. So basically that was all i did in munich, drink and eat. not much more to tell.
