Located on the River Isar, north of the Bavarian Alps, Munich is the capital city of Bavaria in Germany and the country's third largest city. Considered the most desirable city to live in by the Germans, this popular tourist destination is an elegant city that is a bustling media and high-tech centre that combines its sophistication with its rustic charm and small-town feel with its museums, gardens, bars and restaurants. The city is home to magnificent neo-baroque buildings that contrast with modern glass and steel buildings. Street performers entertain crowds at Marienplatz in the city centre. The city, home to the Olympics in 1972, is best known for its festival held every September -- Oktoberfest, the Fasching carnival, and its many beer cellars, and the Residenz, the former royal palace on Odeonplatz.

Another one of my co-workers is leaving to move back to America in a few days, so I went to his going away party last night. He decided to have it at club AIR in Daikanyama, near Shibuya. It was my first time going there, and the place took forever to find. It was tucked away off a side street, and looked like a restaurant from outside. As I stood around trying to figure out what to do, one of the staff came up and asked me if I was looking for AIR. I said, “Yeah,” and he told me to...

Today officially opens the Fasching celebration in Munich. You may not think of Munich as a place for Carnival, but the festivites actually take over the city. For the next few weeks, you will see amazing costumes, great private parties, and the locals going out of their way to show off the spirit of Carnival. We spent the day at the Crazy Knight Parade, which was a strange mix of tractor and farmers, an odd collection of witches, and of course the standard partying band. Here's one of the...

One of the great things about Munich is finding some of the endless little details that make up much of its character. I have come across these shutter locks in several places around Munich. This one was in one of the outer burroughs of Munich (un-officially known as the subburbs) called Ramersdorf-Perlach, on an inn called the Wagnerhof, built in 1826. I looked the building up, and it seems it's just like 10 others historical buildings in the little village; and the village is just like...

Mention Munich to many British people and two events will come to mind: the Munich Agreement of 1938 and the Munich air disaster of 1958. The latter happened 52 years ago today.An aircraft carrying the Manchester United football team back from a game in Belgrade had landed at Munich's airport (that's the old airport at Riem) to refuel. After two aborted attempts to taake of again the pilot decided to have one more go. By the time the plane was ready to go the third time snow had started falling...

I'm not entirely certain how to go about writing the past 4 months... but I will start at the beginning.We opted away from traveling anywhere that is theoretically accessible for a long weekend, or as a short trip, in favor of further destinations. We could have easily spent 4 months in one country, but our curiosity got the best of us and we wanted to see as much as possible. There were plenty of things that we had to consider, as well as what to pack, and if we had the proper vaccinations...

It's been so hard not to share this, but we're moving! Things progressed much quicker than we expected, but we are thrilled. I'd love to tell you that we are setting up home in Paris or Tokyo... but we're staying put here, in the little village that could - Munich (at least for now - who knows what the future holds).Our beautiful new apartment is an alt-bau (old building) with tons of character, creaky wooden floors, spacious rooms with high ceilings, and a beautiful little balcony off the...
