Afterwork drinks over Munich

I don't know why it's taken me so long to attend one of these, but Susi, Toni, and I went to Skylounge at the Telekom Towers to drink, dance and take in the view.

Unfortunately my photos of the view really showed that I don't hold still enough for night mode to work on my phone

And let's dance!

Now I am Bavarian

Caro dropped me off at Hohenzollernplatz and there was a mini Bavarian market going on that was selling local sausages, cheese etc. And then there was the stall that was selling things with comments written in Bavarian dialect. Despite being in Bavaria for the last few years, I won't say that I can really understand the language, but I can figure things out, especially when they're said out loud. And so I definitely had to invest in this bag.

Translation: my other bag is a Louis Vuitton (it's only really funny if you understand how Bavarian sounds though)

Munich Academy end of year art exhibition

The Munich Academy has a notable list of former students, particularly of modern artists. So when I was told about the exhibition featuring students works, I was keen to go - who knows, maybe I'd be seeing pieces from the next Kandinsky! 

There were many pieces but my favourite two were found on the upper floors. I can't remember the names but they were

An exhibit featuring photographs of typical German scenes with atypical comments. For example, Munich is widely regarded as a very safe city. However, this comment says, "Munich is a dangerous city. Police are everywhere at night."

And a room full of various oversized things, like this lebkuchen herz

And this delicious looking cake!

German toys

I was in Obletter the other day when I saw these toys

I feel that only in Germany can you buy a plush currywurst!

And also a plush Wiener schnitzel with fries!

And a roast chicken that can be taken apart into the relevant sections!

I'm not dead!

I was just really busy! Here's a basic summary of what (I think) had been going on in the past few months...

November - My wisdom teeth finally came out.

The surgery was kind of brutal with many people amazed at both the extent of bruising post-surgery but also the speed of my recovery.

December - Miss Pooky came to visit for Xmas! She was an epic series of Christkindlmarkt visits where I made her try out different sausages and she met Dr. Pfft to prove to her that not all Germans are sooooo bad.

I roasted an epic chicken for Xmas dinner.

After she left, the snow came down like how!

January - Okay, I really have no idea what the hell I was doing in January. I was probably working like hell because in February...

February - I went back to Melbs with stopovers in Bali and Singapore.

Relaxing on the beach in Seminyak

Relaxing in the pool in Singapore

Hanging out with Cookie Monster in Melbs

March - I've also got no idea what I was doing in March, probably because it was Starkbierfest and sickness swept through the campus. *Cough*

April - I finally managed to visit Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, and Strasbourg.

While in Strasbourg I somehow conducted a conversation with a shopguy in 3 languages - French, German, and English. YAAAAASSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

May - This month was insane.

First off, I went to Lisbon with my German Wolfpack

. 

Next, due to the fire at Fiumicino airport a planned weekend trip to Rome turned into a crazy 12 hour trip to Rome to celebrate the end of Riz's posting. 

Then I spent a weekend raving.

I went back to Italy the following with my International Hangover girls. And finally, I rested.

June - The Third Annual Suit Up Birthday Party!

And now it's July. I can't promise that I'll be as stringent a writer as before, but I'll try!!!!
