1. travelling IS tiring.. no matter how much fun u see us having here.. there are times when u r cold n hungry n ur legs r tired. not to mention the super-ex toilet entry fees u have to pay in Germany... (S$1 per entry!!!) and to think I everytime complain the stupid JB toilets for collecting money.. haiz.. as a result of this.. we often have to train our bladders to tahan alot of excess fluids.. >_<
2. blogging about travelling is juz as tiring.. having to sieve thru thousands (yes.. '000s) of photos and uploading them... (if anyone know a way of mass-uploading.. pls tell me!!!) so sometimes i really pei fu those ppl who can post abt their travels & still write a whole lot of stuff at the same time.. *salute*
so its the 4th of April, we reached Munich the night b4 & checked into the BEST YOUTH HOSTEL we've ever stayed in. Euro Youth Hostel. *number one!* even managed to watch Champions League Match btwn Milan & Bayern... heh...
Next morning, we started our exploration of Munich... its a freaking cold morn as I recall.. no sun at all.. makes everything dull & lifeless..

U might ask : Why take photo with this stupid car?
Answer!Get this car.. and u will never need to parallel park again!
Karolinenplatz
Obelisk dedicated to King Ludwig IIKönigsplatz
