Travelog for: Hiro

I went for a walk in Sendlinger Street and visited the Asam Church. It was built by a rich merchant as a private church. Inside the church and a balcony is a door to his former house so he could enter the church from is private rooms. It is really nice, especially if you like lots of gold and ornaments.

since the weekend the Christmas markets have started. I enjoyed strolling through the little alleys and watch all the glittering and stuff at Marienplatz.

After the short tour yesterday evening I took a stroll in day light to see all the beautiful Christmas things on the market.

For the weekend I traveled to Sulzbach-Rosenberg, a little town in the North-East of Bavaria. There is a nice old city center and a small park where I went for a walk.

Hi mom,

wish you a Merry Christmas!

I have a great time here, the Glühwein (mulled wine) tastes great 

During the past days the weather went cold and it snowed. Munich is covered in snow. Therefore I did not go for a long walk but rather did some window shopping in Maximilianstraße. Well, I would have liked to do real shopping but Maximilianstraße is the street where all the posh and expensive designers have their shops (Dior, Armani and such)  ... so, it was only window shopping.
I also saw the opera at one end of the Maximilianstraße.

I also walked around the king's residence. Do you see the little lions? They stand at the side of the gates and all their noses are shining. It is said that it will bring luck if you rub their noses. So that's why they are shiny. Of course I could not resist and rubbed as much as possible 

Opposite the residence is the Theatiner church, it is very nice inside.
And there is also the Feldherrnhalle (hall of military leaders/commanders).

I went for a walk in Englischer Garten (English Garden). On the way I passed the Hofgarten (garden next to the king's residence). Today it is open for everyone, there is a coffee shop there (nice to drink coffee in the sun in summer time), some shops, people go for walks or play boccia.

Today I passed by the Königsplatz (King's square) where several of Munich's museums are located. As it was snowing I did not stay too long.

I leave today and go back home for a little while.

poooh! finally i arrived at miss agi's! silky sent me off a long time ago ... but somehow i was returned home instead of going to germany ... very strange!

well, but i made it! and monkey mono welcomed me warmly! i am sure we will have a great time together!

i barely arrived in bremen - straight away mono and his friend forschi took me on a pub-craw or actually it was a cocktail-lounge night.
to everyones surprise we meet curmit the frog. froschi was very delighted. thus we had a monkey-frog night with plenty of drinks 

woow, the cocktail made me quite tipsy ... so i became very brave ... i climbed up the shelves and wanted to drink more 
at some point mono started to keep me off the drinks 
well, soon i knew why ... 
i am not really used to drinks ... and i got really sick 
but it was a great night out anyway 

After staying at miss agi's for quite a long time it finally was the point to move on. i guess it was very hard for miss agi and mono to let me go - we all became good friends - but in the end of the day: i am a toyvoyager!
mono - my good old monkey buddy - helped me to prepare the envolpe.

so now i am on my way to the usa!
