Ah BMW. One of the many brands of cars I’d like to buy from. Today was a more laid-back day, which was a nice break from the past 2 days. It was great to sleep in till 9, especially on a FLAT bed with pillows and blankets. After breakfast, we all took the subway to [...]

A group of us decided to visit Nymphenburg Palace early this morning, which was the summer residence of former Bavarian rulers. It was a massive estate with beautiful gardens. After that we took the BMW factory tour. Their efficiency in the use of space they have to work with was the most interesting part of [...]

Day 2 - Munich I have learned that beer is not my friend. I had a rough morning and didn’t think I would be able to make the excursions, but I’m glad I did; we saw the Nymphenburg Palace, which was completely beautiful (but a hell of a walk). The BLW factory tour was incredibly [...]

Day 1 - Munich Getting to Europe was a bit of struggle that was entirely worth it. When we started the city tour, I was tired, achey, and just wanted to sleep all day at the hotel - when we started seeing the sights of Munich, however, I was too excited. I’ve never been to [...]

After a long day of travel, it was a relief to finally get to our first hotel. Once we were settled in, the bus tour took us to see many important sites around the city such as Marienplatz, Siegestor (Victory Arch), and the Isator gate. The day was finished with dinner at the historic Hofbräuhaus. [...]

Well, the first day was suddenly an adventure. From being awake for 36+ hours because of being in a different time zone, to the tour of Munich, these day(s) were packed. Our Flight from Indy to Paris took close to eight hours and I’m still getting used to the jet lag and turbulence. Most of [...]

I'ts strange being in Germany and by strange I mean the social norms. I difficult to understand everything you need to know about the society you grew up in, but most of that won't help you when dealing with a different society. Basically be prepared for culture shock the first time you travel yo a [...]

Being my first time in Europe, one of the first things that hit me was the immense differences in architecture and cultural values. Seeing every store closed on Sunday and having people so blatantly meander about the driving lanes almost made me wonder if some of their traffic laws were more traffic 'suggestions' than anything. [...]

I really enjoyed the city tour that we had when we landed to Munich. It was interesting to hear about the building that kept the bullet holes from WW ll. It showed me that even though the building was damaged during the war, they decided to keep the holes to tell others of the events [...]
