EVERYTHING is in German!

Ok, we have finally arrived in Munich and the airport was English-friendly and most signs had translations into English. The flight went very smoothly and we arrived in Munich around 4:50pm. I went outside to check on taxi prices and the guy I was talking to barely understood my English. It cost 50 euros to get from the airport to the hotel. It was raining very hard all the way to Munich and the lightning was fantastic! We dropped off all of our luggage to the hotel and set off on our journey through Munich. We found a German beer garden and I don't quite remember the name (also don't know how to spell it). We ate the Munchner Weisswurst Platte (Munich sausage plate) and also had my very first beer in Germany, it was called FRANZISKANER WEISSBIER and was VERY good.

I have seen many german locals but there is also an abundance of middle-eastern people. The restaurants are mainly middle-eastern and the German restaurants are in back alleys (weird). I bet the food is really good further away from the city center. Anyway, we are sitting in our hotel room right now and I am going to post all of the pictures that I haven't been able to on the previous blogs, so go look at the posts from before. So I am going to post all of the pictures that I have been behind on, on this post. If you hold the mouse arrow over the picture (don't click), but hover the arrow over the picture and the name of the picture will show up. Well, we miss you all and we still have one more day in Munich and then we take the train to Zurich. Talk to you all later!

P.S. Oh, and if someone could check and see when I work when I come back (if the schedule is done yet).
