Munich

I got a stomach bug from something I ate in Zurich, so my first two days in Munich were quite painful.  I at least got to learn the pharmacy system in Germany!  You tell your symptoms to the pharmacist, and they bring you a recommended medication.  None of this self-selection in the US.

There's a big marketplace in the city center where people sell foods from all over.  Plus a lot of international produce (Thai fruit!).  To the north of the city, I saw the location of the Olympic games in the 70s.

The city is pretty small, and I couldn't find much more to do outside of the city center, so I went to the Deutsches Museum, housing a lot of human's technological progress throughout the ages.  Sailing, flight, astronomy, mathematics, etc. were all well-represented (environmentalism not so much, but it's a more recent scientific focus).  I'm honestly pretty jealous of a lot of the scientists who were working on these projects.
