The first three days have been a great success. We landed safely in Sunny Munchen [Munich], where Lukas s brother Mike promptly picked us up. We ve been staying in a tiny room of Mike s friend Jan s. Jan shares the apartment with another German man named Andreas. They re both terrific people. In fact, everyone I ve met on this trip so far has been friendly.
We first got to the apartment in the late afternoon, where we cleaned up our room and went out to a local greek restaurant. Later that night we headed to a party, where I found everyone in Munich speaks English quite well. Most of the people were about ten years my senior, which made for interesting conversation. I slept only a few hours that night.
Day two was the start of Oktoberfest, a festival dedicated almost solely to drinking beer. We poked around the festival, an area with a respectably sized amusement park and about 15 enormous tents that serve as beergardens for about six thousand people each. Every single one was full, so we went back to the apartment for a while and explored the city until evening.
We made it into one of the tents at about 8:30 and stayed until it closed at 11. I slept well that night.
Today we re heading to the cabin in Valdorf. We ll be staying there for at least a month.
I m alive and happy, the trip so far has been a fantastic success. I cant post pictures right now unfortunately; I ll try when we get to the Czech Republic.
