Snow! And I mean snow snow. Not Vancouver snow, but the real stuff. I was born and raised in Alberta, so I know snow when I see it and I am pretty sure this is it. Here is a timelapse of the train ride from Paris to Munich taken from my instagram.
Munich is awesome. I love the food and the people are very nice. We met some people at the Höfbrauhaus and they taught me that three litres of beer is too many litres and that we do pretzels way wrong in Canada.
We heard the New Years Eve fireworks were something else here and we found out where best vantage point was. When we got to this tall hill, we realized that it was less of a city organized fireworks show and more of a BYOFW (bring your own fireworks) kind of thing. Everyone was lighting fireworks everywhere. It was chaos. The sound was so loud, you could feel it in your chest. There was no way to tell where the next explosion was going to come from. It went on for a long time, it was wild and amazing. Something that would never happen in Canada because we would be worried someone would lose an eye or something.
The snow adds an interesting dimension to the city, but I would definitely like to return in the summer. Take a look at some photos that I took. Click them to make them bigger and to read some captions.
