Sightseeing-Tour Munich
As a special friend of mine remarked that she couldn't understand a word Germany my upcoming postings are going to be in English. I hope you'll enjoy reading at anyhow!
From the 24th until the 26th of Mai, Nadine Haase came to visit and explore the city of Munich with me. We had a great on Thursday (“Christi Himmelfahrt”) time although the weather was occasionally some evil enemy instead of a pleasant fellow. Okay, I will come over my little sore throat. At least my environment enjoys the recent silence.
First stop: Marienplatz 
Since I live very central near Leopoldstreet we took a short walk to enter the historic Old Town of Munich. The old as well as the New City Hall are very impressive and two of the most popular tourist attractions. From the top of the Peterskirche we did not only enjoy the wonderful all over Munich but also the turret clock figure’s dancing at the New City Hall at 11 am.
Making our way through a bunch of tourists we were impressed by the two towers of the Frauenkirche, which we entered, too. As it is qu ite chaste the Peterskirche appeared shiny and way more glamorous.
Second stop Viktualienmarkt
All of the town there is a funny smell of sausages and beer which usually gets stronger when you arrive at the Viktualienmarkt. Caused by the holiday the market was closed but in a close market hall I had a Brez’l. It’s great!
Following we we were overwhelmed by the typical Bavarian atmosphere in the “Hofbräuhaus”. Drinking beer, eating Leberkäs’ and Weißwürstl … things we left out this time.
A totally other atmosphere did we experience in front of the Opera (Nationaltheater) that is near to the Residenzmuseum.
Third stop Olympic Park
By underground we arrived quickly the Olympic Park which was originally built for the Olympic Games in 1972 and – since then – is open to the public and worldwide competitions. Nadine (very into sports) and I were astonished by the effort people made for those Games.
We took a decent stroll through the park and found also the Walk of Fame near a little lake.
Not to mention the BMW 4-Zylinder that can be seen from whatever position and gave especially me a blast to look at. Until in 2007 the BMW world will be opened the BMW museum is outplaced in a provisional marquee (round, grey dome).
Fourth stop Castle Nymphenburg 
A real enthusiastic sightseeing team can neither stopped by tiredness nor by rain. Our longest walk for that day started at Rotkreuzplatz where we aimed for the Castle Nymphenburg. Along the way we couldn’t get around two big scones of ice-cream. Never stop the addicted ones!
The beauty of the large frontside of the castle was even topped by the huge garden behind. Visiting such a place in spring the most awesome thing to do! (Besides the ice-cream…)
Fifth stop Fish Market Sendlinger Tor
Rather looking for a short way back home we had an intermediate stop at the Sendlinger Tor, where a Fish Market took place. The funny mountebanks, all varieties of fish and the party atmosphere came up as our “dot on the i”.
With a cracked voice but a bunch full of great memories we took the underground back to our residence. What will be next?

FIFA World Championship 2006
between Germany and Costa Rica I was chased to the match Ghana-Italy and caught some enthusiasm about it.
