Back to munich we went in search of the nice pork knuckles and beer bs talked about. But it was closed! Disappointing. A lot of things has closed on us. So we went further down the road to a more unknown place instead. The food and beer turned out not bad at all and I finally got to enjoy sauerkraut! I tried it once at broitzeit and it was horrible! Too sour. This time it was just right! The pork knuckles were a bit oily but very tasty. So is everything else on the plate! Very full after the meal. I couldn’t button up my pants!
Halfway out of the shop to the metro we met with a whole line of night skaters who blocked the road. At first we thought we will just let them pass first but for a whole 15-20 min the line of skaters did not end! It was madness.
After that the guys decided they wanted to go to Allianz arena to take photo of the stadium. Apparently the whole stadium lights up and it changes colour every half an hour. It will light up in blue white and red and bs was determined to get a photo of it in red. And when we reached there me and py was desperate to pee. Since py is a guy there was no problem. But me! We had to find some secluded staircase so that I can pee. And man was it dark. Luckily I didn’t fall down the stairs. After about half an hour of waiting the lights of the stadium switched off! And we realized we’ve waited in vain. Hahahaha… the walk to the stadium was good for digestion though.
Our late night back to our hostel woke up some of our hostel mates and one of the girls gave a very mean stare. This mean stare continued the next morning when she woke up. One thing I can’t stand about people living in hostels is that they expect 5 star hotel service. Peaceful sleep at night. People to tidy up their room for them. Like that time in Prague when 2 very late check-in guests came they found one of the beds they were supposed to sleep on disheveled and insisted the hostel guy changed it for them. Seeing that I went forward and helped him change and the girl just stood there with no thought of lending a hand. Though bs and py called me hua chi (cos the guy was really quite cute) I just thought it was the right thing to do. You are staying in the hostel! And like the signs they put up in the hostel kitchens you did not bring your mother with you so work! Sheesh… to think they are supposedly backpackers. Alright maybe she’s just tired and cranky like the girl we woke up in the hostel but I really would be better off without your attitude. In any way these people only serve as a lesson than irritants. To NOT be like them.

Today was the start of the Munich leg proper. However, it was first to Salzburg, Austria for a half day tour. Salzburg was pretty much like Hidelburg but it was the land of Mozart. There are numerous “Mozart-related” things – from chocolates to fragrances. Nothing really exciting except for the scenery. Headed back to Munich where the best was waiting for us – pork knuckles. We toured the city centre and the best monument would be the Asam Kirche which was literally filled with gold. Almost every corner was covered with gold. After that (and a few more places), it was dinner time!! BS brought us to this beer hall – Augustiner Bräuhaus. The first was under renovation so we headed down to another branch. I must say the pork knuckles was damn good and the stew meat and roast duck was excellent too. Together with 1 liter of beer, it was a heavenly match. It is difficult to imagine the taste and excellence – head down there yourself!! *drools* Ended the day with a rather useless trip to the Allianz Arena (Bayern Munich’s Stadium). We waited for the exterior lights of the stadium to turn red but it went off!! So I only caught the picture when it was white.
Tomorrow will be Munich again but we’ll be heading out to Dachau and Füssen.
