Munich

• Munich is dirty, but has a great "zentrum."
• St. Michael's Church has a gorgeous Mass, and is a gorgeous building.
• Frauenkirche can kiss my kirche.
• Andecher's am Dom is a fantastic place to eat, drink and be merry!
• Tip the waitress at the Hofbrauhaus -- you and your parents will get hugs and kisses, and you will get a free shot of grain alcohol!

• When boarding a 9hour flight to the United States, it is best to go directly to your seat and deal with others directly (not passive aggressively), otherwise my imperious-self will put you in your place because take-offs and landings make me nervey. Don't mess with me with I'm nervy.
• Germans are nice people.
• Lufthansa is the best way to fly between Germany and the US.
• I really do love me some Moliere and Shaw.
• 8 BELOW is a great movie because of the dogs ... the horrible dialogue of the humans put the silent and evocative motion of the dogs in an interesting perspective.
• 3 liters of beer consumed in 4 hours does not make for a bad hangover ... just a drunken state.
