New Camera and Munich!

So I haven't been posting for a while because I didn't have a camera! I somehow lost it somewhere. RIP camera, it was a great 7 years with you.

I visited my friend in Munich and got a new one and now I'm able to post.

Munich is so different from Berlin! It's very clean!!! The buildings also look very old and historic because Munich is a very conservative city and it was interesting in contrast to Berlin.

Mauerpark!!!

So many people! it's just like the Taiwan night market, but during the day! They also had this huge field where people sat, hung out, barbequed and listened to people sing karaoke.

Can anyone who has heard this music really be a bad person?

From the movie, The Lives of Others,

"Can someone who has heard this music, I mean truly heard it, really be a bad person?"


Kaki King's song "Can anyone who has heard this music really be a bad person?" 

I wonder if the song's inspired by the movie? 

Site Visit & Prinzessinnengarten

So I visited the area where my project is going to be located. It's near Moritzplatz station, so I was able to explore the area a bit.   There was this store called Modular, which is this GIANT art store. I will DEFINITELY return when I have more money.

We also saw this community garden called Princess Garden, where a bunch of people hung out, ate food and drank coffee. All of the benches and buildings were made out of recycled goods. Brilliant! I loved the idea and was sad that I can't use it for my project!

Feasting

Second day of class kind of! We had the morning off so we ate. lots :D

The food was beautifully arranged. I ordered french toast and it came with yogurts, maple syrup and fruits on the side.

In the middle you will see an Apfel Strudel, and in the distance, you will see my friend's very German dish. Forgot what it was called though!

Currywurst is not the worst

One thing that you need to have in Germany is currywurst! it's basically sausage with ketchup-y type stuff and curry powder.

looks kind of bloody

a strawberry tiramisu-y dessert

yuuuum
