Munich

So we waved goodbye to Tokyo's vending machines with a tear in our eye and headed for Munich. A 12 hour flight i though might be a little bit painful and to be honest it had a lot stacking up against it, the movies were 'Speed racer' and 'Made of honor' a chick flick with that McDreamy guy in it (Josh and i figured out he has stepped into roles that Richard Gere would've done if he were a bit younger. i think its a fair point) considering it was a kinda long flight it went pretty quickly but it was funny when the food came around, josh and i were dying for some 'normal' food so we ordered so we ordered sausages and sour crou. i think most of the people on board did too because everybody seemed to use the toilet all at the same time. damn you sour crou!!

Our first impressions of Munich weren't that great the customs officer was evil i think he thought Australia was a third world country because i don't think he wanted to let me in. and our other bad experience was the lady at the train ticket office who was not helpful at all! and when we asked her to repeat where we had to go and where to change trains she had a tanty... anyway it looked up from there, we got the train and headed to Munich central station to catch our trains.

we had 2 weeks to go until Oktoberfest so we thought we would go elsewhere for a couple of weeks. Josh chose to catch a train to Rome and meet up with people and I decided to head to Amsterdam to meet up with my good mates from Brisbane, Gabe and Anna. The train ride went over night and i shared a room with a couple of older guys. I didn't get much sleep because it was quite loud but i eventually got a few broken minutes. its funny, i didn't really talk to the guys in the whole train trip but then i pulled out a Beatles book i was reading and suddenly they wouldnt shut up about the Beatles. it was pretty cool talking to them about them. maybe they should give books on the Beatles to the UN to encourage world peace.

anyway more on Munich when i head there for Oktoberfest. I'm looking forward to it!
