Stadtspaziergang

The "City-Walk" tour is in German! Imagine, isn't it an overdose of German? Lol, but I can manage it by now. Everytime I got out of my hostel I'm cruelly reminded that I'm in Germany, coz you would be immediately eavesdropping on a conversation in German. Anyway, back to the tour. Very very nice. I hadn't had time to tour the city centre yet coz I have no mind to do so during the lost-luggage period, but I'm definitely up to it now.

We walked pass the Sendlinger Tor, then visited the Asamkirche, which its interior was BREATHTAKING. It's a church (kirche = church), so I didn't scream "WOW!" in there. We walked pass the Neues Rathaus, Viktualienmarkt and the Max-Joseph-Platz, where the Residenz stands. Oh wow. Residenz. I plan to visit there for their operas. Okay, for your information, the Residenz was the former residence of the royal family of Munich in the past. In the present, it has been transformed into more than three museums, a treasury, and an opera house. So imagine how huge it was. Then the Theatinerkirche, which I find a tat too yellow, ahaha. I think I missed out a lot of the other places, but these are the ones more worth mentioning. The city center is too huge! The weather, however, was the party-pooper. Imagine: ten seconds of sun. then another few minutes of rain. Followed by fine weather but no sun. The heavens totally cannot make up their mind, lol.

And there was a period of time when I couldn't even feel my fingers. It was that cold even though I was clad in a shirt, overcoat, scarf and long pants. Brrrrrr weatherrrrrr...
