Hostel Life/ Munich 101

So. Many. Teenagers. 4 flights of stairs (with a 50 pound suitcase). Tiny showers, 4 per floor. Shenanigans galore. Trips to Penny Markt (just think of of an average ALDI's, German-ified) for "American water", gummy bears (goldbären) and this awesome German pop called Mezzo Mix. The life, of a typical Youth Hostel kid. It's pretty fantastic.
Like last night. All we did was hangout in our room with about 10 other kids from our group, toss around our soccer ball from the top bunks, and laugh about pointless things. And it was fantastic.
Around the hostel, you can find a park, Subway, an amazing German bakery with pretzels that Brandon Keenan is OBSESSED with, and apartments. It's cute. Not to mention all the attractive Germans. Inside, there are 2 buildings, one with all our rooms in it (I'm on the forth freaking floor) the common room, vending machines and such, and another building where we eat breakfast.
And Munich. Holycrapola. It's dandy. There's so much to do, I feel like I've seen about 1/237 of everything here. We've spent alot of time in the City Center, where the famous Glockenspiel and Rathaus are. Google it. Pretty impressive. And of course, shopping. We've hit up H&M, the apple store, and Saturn (crazy awesome electronics store where I got some glorious over the ear headphones). The public transportation is marvelous. There are street cars, the S-Bahn (trains) and the U-Bahn (subways). We've already conquered the U-Bahn, which has 8 different subways going 16 different directions. I honestly would give up my car to have this kind of public transportation in Kansas. We've also visited the insanely large Deutsches Muesuem, a palace, huge parks, eaten LOTS of food, and bunches of other stuff.
