It was a good trip to Munich, work wise at least. We knocked off a lot of the problems with the web services and it was good to meet the team over there. Unfortunately, as normal with these short trips, there wasn’t time to actually see any of the city. It was airport-office-hotel-office-airport. Still from the taxi ride the place looked nice and the people were very helpful. As ever in Europe it was massively embarassing how every German I met knew at least some English, most spoke it pretty much fluently, there is no way the same would happen in England for a visiting German.
So Munich gets added to the list of places that I have to go back and visit properly.
About seven years ago I visited Munich as a day stop while returning from an Austrian ski trip. I hope to return some day as the beer was fantastic and the sights just as interesting. Being an American, I too was grateful for the Germans and Austrians knowing English.
