[ENG] Munich Project: Day 1

Groebenzell, Munich Projekt 03.10.2013 – 30.10.2013

Donnerstag, 03.10.2013

We safely arrived in Munich in the morning around 7 am. We had to transit for two times; in Bangkok and in Doha, Qatar. The airline is very good in fact. Unfortunately, 4 people from us were sick and were quite uncomfortable because of the running nose and problem with the pressure. Nevertheless, we are survived and safely arrived here.

            After the flight I was not sleepy at all, which is totally different from my host family. My host partner, Mascha, was there with her father (my host father), Wolfram. Another German who was there at the beginning was Christoph. We greeted each other shortly and were both extremely excited. Mascha and I waited for the other German students for a while and then went home.

            As usual on the Autobahn my host dad drove the car approx. 140-180 km/h.  WOOH :D FASTT We live in Puchheim, which located in the west of Munich. It is around 25 minutes away from the city.

            The house is literally cool. Handmade artworks are everywhere, from woods and other materials. I love that! We had a breakfast together with my host mother, sister and a friend from my host sister. The breakfast was pretzels, bread, jams etc. I really like German breakfast because it is always numerous and delicious. My host parents asked me about the food in Thailand and my host sister (Jule) too. Jule is a model and she seems to like Asian culture very much.

            After the breakfast I had a short break and then went to the Zoo with Mascha. Mascha explained the function of the S-Bahn and U-Bahn to me. It is quite complicated for me, but I will try. I tried to remember the names of the stations and the name of the train. But my problem is the platform. I am not sure which platform should I go because I have never been alone until now. So, maybe after the school I will survey the system a little bit. I am so excited.

            We went to the zoo named Hellabrunn. It is really big with a lot of animals. Later Nohn and Sebastian joined us too. We saw a lot of animals, such as elephants, rhinos, sharks, fishes, flamingos, Erdmaennchen, goats etc. This Zoo located near the Isar River. This river is extremely beautiful. There is a beach where people can grill or picnic. Besides, the river is very clear.

            After the long walk in the zoo we all took the U-Bahn to eat running sushi, which is near the University. It was REALLY good evening. We arrived at the restaurant at 5 pm and the restaurant opens at 5.30 pm. We sit on the steps and waited, say ‘Servous’ and ‘Gruess Gott’ to people who passing by. I find it really funny because Mascha and Sebastian enjoyed and wanted to try the exotic food as much as they can. It cost relatively expensive, therefore we eat, eat, eat and eat. Sebastian ate more than Mascha, Nohn and I together. We talked and made a lot of stupid things together. I feel like we know each other for a long, long time already but in fact it is only the first day. Es war Hammer!
