跨年之旅 08/09 Europe trip part 3


Day 4
We left early morning by train from Frankfurt to Munich, the capital of Bavaria. We had to transit a few times along the way because we bought a budget ticket, and it took us longer time, but save €€€! :)

Once we reached Munich main train station, we kept our luggages in the lockers and started our shopping spree!!! weeeee~
It was 30th December, 1 day more to New year, everywhere you see crowds rushing to shop!!! Of course, I joined in the fun too!!! >.<
Within 3 hours, I got myself a ZARA shirt, a ESPRIT jeans and a pair of C&A boots ^.^ I am all satisfied!

After this, we took some time to stroll around, while hunting for food!
The night view in the platz (aka square?) was magnificent.

In the end, we stopped by this restaurant called 'Tokyo' and had a sushi feast!!! Well, it was all you can eat, and we were not losing out >.<
the plates were stacked up sky high within seconds!!! hahaha...oopz
However, it was not the best sushi I would say, but enough to temporarily ease my crave for japanese food!

While we walked out of the restaurant with happily filled stomach, we stumbled upon this 'fireplace' so called The world's largest burn punch event!!! There was this giant fireplace right in the middle, with a bar selling the HOT gluewine (wine+rum+cinnamon) right underneath it, and surrounded with stalls selling sausages and a big crowd!
We were curious, and thus we got ourselves some wines too! :) and I was glad I tried the wine, it was served hot! (during the winter time, a cup of hot drink is much appreciated!!!) I just love the taste of the wine!!! yummy~


We spent some time there and realised it was soon the time to meet up with our host in Munich – a couple, Jeff and Dennea! :) They were from California, wanting to migrate to germany and currently they are still studying.
We went back to the main train station and met up with Jeff in front of Starbucks. He then led us to another restaurant which was used to be a beer cellar, named Augustiner! He was with another bunch of couchsurfers, having their dinner there; since we had ours, we just had some beers and joined in the fun! :)
The place was spacious, we sat inside the underground tunnel used to store big barrels of beers!!! It was a really cool place! Everything is gigantic inside, giant beer barrel, giant glass of beer, giant benches and tables! :D


Finally, after the dinner, we followed Jeff and Dennea back to their cozy studio apartment where we shared the night with another friend, Michael from Texas. :)
