SEP Munich, Germany – Nice Boss! – Day 2 – 06.05.11

Nothing much today. Went for our German language class but been chased out by the teacher, she said that the class is really full. Well, seems not too full to me though. Anyway, we still have about 5 hours till the time we meet Mr Grassl (yea accommodation again). We intended to have a look at the Museum of Sculpture (it’s called Glyptothek) but failed. Our time was taken away by some random research on internet access.

Glyptothek: Greece and Roma Sculptures. XD

After researching we still left about 3 hours. Visiting Glyptothek might not be a wise decision now and hence we went to wander around the city!

Museum! Just in front of TUM. It's really huge; if I have to say then I'll say that it's even larger than VivoCity + Harbourfront Center! There are people who play soccer on the field in the evening.

We somehow wondered which direction should we go at a cross junction nearby. A very nice madam who just came back from supermarket (I guess) has just approached us, after looking at our innocent face, and asked whether if we are going to Marienplatz! We said we are just wandering around but without hesitation she introduced us another museum nearby, pointed the direction of it and explained the very detailed of how we can actually get there! Oh well, we thanked her (Dank-e!) and continued our wandering.

Newspaper vending machine. We found that most of the machines in Munich are mechanical instead of electrical.

The statue of Franz Xaver Gabelsberger: A famous guy in Germany, but I have no idea about him.

And we went back to meet Mr Grassl at the entrance of TUM, settled our contract.

And our dinner of the day:

Mine - Sandwich with Citrus Juice!

The boss is really a nice and friendly guy. He asked us whether we are Asians and then started to guess which country we are from! Sadly he couldn’t manage to get it right. He kept chatting with us throughout our dinner and asked us some random questions. Just before we go, he gave us 3 sandwiches (those expensive ones) for free! XD
