Where I am from: Saarland

Where I live now: Munich
The Oktoberfest will start in about a month *hicks*

Lifestyle
Residents of Munich enjoy a high quality of life. Mercer HR Consulting consistently rates the city among the top 10 cities with highest quality of life worldwide. The 2005 survey rated Munich as 5th. Munich enjoys a thriving economy - principally information technology, biotechnology, and publishing. Environmental pollution is low, although currently the city is concerned about levels of fine dust in the air. The public transport is extremely efficient, although delays on the S-Bahn (light commuter trains) often cause frustration during extreme winter weather. The crime rate is very low and personal safety is high. This high quality of life and safety has caused the city to be nicknamed a "Toytown" - particularly amongst the English speaking residents.

Nightlife is thriving. There are over 6,000 licensed establishments in the city. Cafe culture is strong in Munich, especially during the summer of course. There are many restaurants accommodating all preferences of cuisine. And possibly the most important free time activity during the summer: the beer gardens. There are around 20 major beer gardens with four of the most famous and popular being located in the Englischer Garten - the largest city park in Europe.

cos its ****ing small! it has like... the capital HQ mega building.. and a few hotels and a few restraunts. it has nothing. god is it boring. everyone there is living in 1970 in regards to clothes, music, hair and choice of automobile too. the boring side of the 1970s, not the funky side.
