10.27.10, Munich: Longest Day of Our Lives!

Today I had my first Business English class at 9 am with Professor Deiderich again. It's the usual English class except instead of discussing research papers, bibliographies and such we just really speak in English but use more business-y words... Easy as pie. HAHA! Then I had Deutsch A1 again with my favorite teacher at the University! Mrs. Susanne Wagner!

We hastily packed our bags the moment we got home and by 3 pm we were on a train to Munich already! Yay!

We went to the Euraid booth and then this man here below promptly processed our Eurail 2-month Global passes. Super worth it! This was a glorious moment in our lives!!! We picked also our train for Brussels already. It leaves at 3 am so we had a looooong ass wait in Munich(in retrospect we realized we could've gone home to Ingolstadt and could've taken the train from there... Bobo... HAHA)!

Interesting graffiti on our day lockers at the station

We then ate at KFC at around 7 pm... Got the same meal! Super comforting to eat something that tastes like what we have back in the Philippines!!! But their gravy sucks and their fries are different! Whatever. This is as good as it gets.

My yummy food!

We met a Filipino in KFC also who was living in Koln(Cologne) but is now studying Philosophy in Munich. He was Bisaya so I talked to him a bit also. He told us he was being sponsored by someone from back home. REALLY. LUCKY. Sarap makakita ng Pinoy! as Butch said(or didn't he?) 

Since we had around 6 more hours to kill(we left KFC at around 9 na!), we decided to go to a bar first - the only thing that'd be open in European cities/towns that didn't require you to eat a meal. When the people from France visited Munich a month ago, I took them to this bar called Americanos. Since it was near KFC(It was a coooold night! We dreaded being in the cold for too long!) and the Marienplatz subway(convenient for going to the Munich HBF/Main station), I brought the two there na lang. We met a weird mixture of people: some really nice locals, some super kulit guy from Ingolstadt also and this middle aged guy who kept on talking to me in vain. We enjoyed the music and our drinks til around 12 midnight. SUPER EXHAUSTING TO HAVE TO WAIT!

We then went to the HBF to wait there naman. We were in the lounge for around 2 more hours and then we finally decided to just wait and sleep in the train. REALLY TIRED NA AT AROUND THIS TIME!!! Our only consolation was that we were arriving in Brussels - a different city in a different country - in some hours!!! 


The train!

The longest longest day of our lives!!!

Tschuss!!!
