MUNICH

"Deutsches Museum" is a popular museum of science and technology.

Really big pretzels!  The woman is also wearing very traditional German clothes from Bavaria.

Hofbräuhaus, Munich's very well-known bar, restaurant, and beer brewery.

This past week I was with my exchange program's organization for our "half-way" seminar in Munich!  Munich is in the far south of Germany in the Bavaria province.  Bavaria attracts the largest attention of tourists world-wide because it's where the very typical German traditions began.  Munich is the city with the third largest population in Germany, and is known as the beer capital of the world.  I took the "bullet" ICE train from Duesseldorf for about 7 hours.  They travel around 139 miles per hour!
