Holidays...
I’ve completed 6 months here in Germany, as some of you might know, there are lots of holidays in Germany. We have 30 bank days, 6 weeks in total. Well, it’s incredible! Anyway, who am I to complain? Instead, I decided to enjoy a bit the European summer.
I had a friend living in Munich. A Brazilian with a German name, an engineer with a philosophic soul, an artist. Apart from this, there was also Munich, 8 in every 10 Germans elect Munich as their favourite city in Germany, my parents had been there before and they are crazy for the food, beer and specially the people there. I’ve heard enough to be worth it. Let’s go! ... with an unlimited train ticket I was in the railroad.
As I arrived in Munich, there was a grand opening: a Barbecue in the West park. There we could see people from every nationality, Indians, Arabians, and even Germans!!! hehehe
That’s it, such an international place, where everybody can have fun in their stile, but with something in common... (sorry for this cheap humour!!!) Well, the atmosphere was great, we were 10 and one guitar, enough for a great time...
On the next day, everybody had to work and I went to the town centre, the way I like, no plans, fast decisions, there I was in a walking tour, in 2 hours I had seen all the “must see sites” in Munich. The guide was a cool girl: Isa, who was doing it in order to save money and move together with her boyfriend to Australia. Well, if you know me you guess what happened, we were chatting after the tour for around 2 hours. After that I went to the “Viktualien Markt”, as you might think of the name, this market doesn’t have anything of virtuous, it’s a kind of “Mercado Municipal”, a place where you can celebrate the gluttony, where you find all the famous “Wurst und Bier”and more.
Some sausages later, I was in a book shop as I was looking for a gift for Günther’s birthday. I knew he was crazy for Calvin and Hobbes (Actually, that was how we got to know each other!), but I didn´t know what to buy, as I didn´t know what he had already. So I went for a German cartoon, which had a promising name” Nichtlustig” (not funny!). Well, perfect for the situation, as he is longing for his return to Brazil in October and I want to give him a laugh until that.
In the evening we went to a concert at “Olympia Park” The park built for the Olympic Games of 1982. That was a crazy punk concert, but I found the relief on my litter bier mug.
