Marianplatz

Fourth day into my journey
Woke up at 7am today. Looks like i am getting used to the time here already =) Got quite a shock when i woke up and it was bright and sunny outside already, thought i had overslept. Apparently the sun rises at 615 am here. Had my cheapo breakfast (6 pieces of bread from the loaf with my cheapo strawberry jam yesterday). My Landlady offered me a Toaster for my butter bread. It was the most fulfiling breakfast i ever had. Got all the ingredients on my own and making it on my own. hahaha. Headed to school after breakfast, reaching school at 930 sharp! Punktlich wie Deutsche! Figure that out.. Came 2 new classmates, Hidekaso and Tamaro. No need me to tell you from where la ah! Somehow one way or another, he guessed that i am from Singapore at the very first try! Very lovely couple. After class, i decided not to head back home first, thus i walked down the street seeking lunch. Found a nice Cafe which sells italian dishes, tried their Padinida or something, can't remember the name exactly. But it was awesome. One thing about the food here is that although they are expensive, they serve really great food. Didn't take any photo this time, didn't want to look like a tourist cock. Went home after that, got a mission today, to register myself at the KVR so that i can extend my Visa. Chatted with my mummy for a while, she finally found out how to use. haha. Gott sei Dank!

Meeting a Girl =)
Wasting no time, i took my camera and all the documents i have and head south. Took the subway this time. It was just a mere 2 stops away, arriving there, i couldn't be bother to speak german, it is going to take me a whole day of stammering and flipping of my dictionary, so i just asked directly in english. The lady directed me to the student section and thats where i met another SINGAPOREAN!!!! Seriously, what are the chances!! And guess what, shes the same age as me!! She has been here for 1 and a half years studying at T.U.M. (thats where i wanna go too! =( Anyway, how i know? Shes chinese and spoke english with the singapore accent (not singlish), so i asked! Chatted a bit, and after she took down my email address, she disappeared.

Marianplatz Besichtigen (visit)
After successfully registering myself, i headed to MARIANPLATZ. Its in the middle of the city. Do a google earth search and you will spot many many photos there. Pretty touristy area. Many Many Chinaman there. haha. If the weather yesterday was almost perfect, then today would be perfect. Check out the clouds in the picture, imagine the cool air and the glowing evening sky, surrounded by these medieval architecture and walking aimlessly enoying the atmosphere and scenery. Spent 4 hours walking the area, taking the subway back when i got lost, then continue walking and got lost again, then took the subway back again and continue walking again. The Rathaus (city hall) is MAGNIFICIENT. Look at the pictures and you will understand. The shops here are like shopping centers, but very beautiful shopping centers, not like those big ugly malls in singapore. Took alot of photos here, so i think i should forgo the descriptions and let the pictures tell the story. Had McDonalds for dinner, guess how much i spend? 2 eurs!! hahahah. 2 Chicken Burgers at 1 eur each. Its like our McChicken offer, only that they are much smaller. What did you say again???? After 4 hours of walk, my Banglah legs couldn't take it anymore, thus unwillingly headed home. Walked back to the tram stop. When i arrived, there was an announcement, smth about the tram which i was going to take. Couldn't hear it clearly as it was pretty soft, so i checked out this led display. "Verspatungen verkehrunfall" Delayed, Traffic accident! HAHA! Looks like it really happened!! Its only a matter of time that happens judging from they way the peple drive here. Such a lovely day :). The picture below looks like a millipede on its back. hahah. Alright, time for school, Till then. Ciao!
