What is life like in Munich?

[Chandra]

To rock the boat a bit more the option of moving to Munich has come up this week. I know the first thing we would have to do before moving would be to sell DS and pay for a very good German course. But I was wondering what is it like to live overthere, how is it when you have a small child, how is the school system, the property prices, the expat community, is people friendly?

Maybe too basic questions but any clue on that would help us to make out minds will be highly appreciated.

Hey Cod we should meet up over Bier and Wurst one day and compare our dialects. I spent a year in Schwaebia - in the middle of nowhere about halfway between Regensburg and Stuttgart.

Warum ist die banane krum?

Is Regensburg the place with the clock?

do you mean the glockenspiel thing? that's in marienplatz I think

I went somewhere I think was called Regensburg when I was 13 on a school exchange with an odd family. It had a wall around it and a clock that did a panto thing.

My friends always used to rib me about English traditions like "afternoon Tea", and what did they do everyafternoon? Kaffee und Kuchen! Yes, did put on a lot of kilos whilst there.

It was a coach ride away from Stuttgart which was where I was staying. I remember being given a bike with no brakes to ride to school on. I nearly broke my neck.

I au paired for a year in Bavaria too. Like Cod, by the time I left people didn't believe I was English. I obviously wasn't Bavarian, but they assumed I was from somewhre in the north.

Beware of foodstuffs called weiss--- Weissbier - good; Weisswurst - revolting

The kids I au paired for were 12, 10 and 8 when I was there, and the oldest one has a child a year older than my eldest

Thanks for your comments, is definitively making thing look really good. Thanks!
