Trip to Munich!

Last weekend on the first weekend of June - I, Hyun Ji and Ji Yeon took part in an excursion to Munich with other exchange students from Koblenz. Actually it was weird to travel without Em and Lucy because almost all the time we are together, but I really enjoyed getting to know other people from Koblenz. We were such an international group!

We stayed in the Hostel and got always breakfast and lunch (it was great). In the room I stayed with Hyun Ji and Ji Yeon and two more Chinese girls. Actually I felt like living in Asia, because girls were speaking a lot of time in their own language and obviously I could not communicate with them. Anyway it was funny to listen to it.

The main point of the excursion was to see the Munich architecture buildings but we also had free time and could visit places which we wanted. My Highlights were Hofbräuhaus, Schloss Neuschwanstein, Englischer Garten. In the Hofbräuhaus and Englischer Garten you could feel real Bayern Soul: Schweinshaxn, Maß Bier and Brezeln. People really liked to drink beer there!

Munich has two Rathaus’: old one which looks like new and new one which looks like old. I know, it´s such a paradox but this is truth. Anyway the Altstadt is beautiful, I just liked to walk around and watch everything...

Schloss Neuschwanstein is two hours away from Munich, we needed to catch the train and after the bus. We spent all the day there, it was great time, we saw lot of amazing views...But afterwards we missed the bus and the train home. We got back so late to Munich and everyone was so tired, didn‘t even want to go out except me and three more guys! To be honest we were the only who went out to explore the Munich nightlife. I really enjoyed it and we had such a good time!

All in all I am glad that I took a part of this excursion. I had opportunity to meet new people (we are planning to get together one more time), to get to know more about the one of famous Germany’s city – Munich - and to get out of the normal routine!
