So,
the hostel doesn’t provide coffee-making facilities (hrmphs) so today started
with a brisk walk towards Munich center to get coffee. Afterwards, I wandered
through a few stores and ended up at the Stadtmuseum (City Museum). It’s
amazing!
Once
exhibit was mainly on the history of Munich. And included lots of models of
buildings and the city and churches and cool things!
Another
was all about the history of protest in Munich, up until present day. I do
sometimes wonder about the stuff that activists call art and its actual
purpose, but, you know, do each their own. There was a lot of German in that
exhibit so I went to look at puppets next because my brain was fried and
puppets don’t require German to be appreciated.
(Dad
will probably know who I think this is and what I think he’s holding).
The
final exhibit was all about 70s fashion in Munich, also really awesome. Some of
the clothing was clothing I would totally wear and some was so absurd I couldn’t
imagine anyone wearing ever. Also, apparently the 70s was the beginning of when
companies started marketing children’s clothing and considering children a
target audience…meaning children’s clothing became a lot more exciting at that
time, at least in Munich.
I
had lunch at the Viktualienmarkt – a really huge open air market for food near
Munich center. It rained during lunch (in Munich, it alternates about every
half hour between rain and beautiful sunshine) and was rather pretty (I was
sitting outside under an awning). It felt almost like rainbow weather.
I
spent the rest of the day wandering around Marienplatz, the city square-like-thing.
I explored some clothing stores, and a book store. Also, there was a really
good klezmer band playing the middle in the square at one point.
And
that’s it for today. Yeah no, I pretty much went back to the hostel and ate and
am now internetting. But, all in all, an exciting day and a good start
for Munich.
