| 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. |
