** This past weekend was the last weekend to travel and me and my four friends decided to make a compact trip to Germany and Prague two really amazing travel destinations!
We flew into Munich Friday morning. I had been here once before in the airport. This time I was staying for one night. I also took two years of German in high school so I was prepared Haha but I'm sad to say I did not retain much. We ventured into the city right away because the Christmas markets they have there which are world renowned. It was on our Friday off but the city center was crowded for Christmas time. They types of buildings that lined Munich's skyline were like nothing I had ever seen before. I would almost classify them as Dutch! They had mulled cider at almost every stall it was very festive. For dinner we ventured to a authentic German restaurant! I got spatzil it was so good! The hostel we stayed at was clean and convenient but the crowds were loud at night and we needed to wake up early the next day for our bus! Because my last names German I also felt right at home aside from the fact I didn't speak the language. Also Side note: the people here weren't very litter conscious in my opinion because they would let stuff fall on the ground and not pick it up. It's just very interesting how cultures vary. I will have to make it back to Germany one day and stay for a longer time. I would really love to drive on the autobahn!
