Germany Day 1.

I'm so exited! I landed yesterday in the Munich airport, or "Münchener Flughaufen" as the Germans call it. I went to the car rental area, and I was shocked. They have BMW's and Mercedes' as normal rental cars! I pulled out on to the Autobahn, and it was wild. In the cities, there were speed limits, but out in the country, you could go as fast as your car would take you! More then once, I would see a Porsche zoom by me at about 250 kmh (kilometers per hour) which is about 155 mph! Legally! The hotel I'm staying at is nice. It's called the Hotel Olympia, and it's right near an S-Bahn, the local commuter train. There's a really good traditional German restaurant, locally called a Biergarten, and I went there for dinner. I had Wiener Schnitzel, breaded and fried veal, and potato salad. I also ordered an Apfelsaft Schorle, or sparkling apple juice. Man, I was full after that, so I went straight to bed. This morning I went to the Deutches Museum, the local science museum, situated on the river that flows through town, the Isar. I decided to take the S-Bahn to it since it has its own stop. It was HUGE. There were at least 25 exhibits that you could go to, some of them with English signs, and some of them only in German. Lucky I know a bit of German. There was a plane exhibit, a car exhibit, a boat exhibit, as well as things like waterworks exhibits and energy and chemistry exhibits. Also, This place had the best museum food I have ever had anywhere. In the front they had a smallish box with a computer screen inside, that had about 10 seats. It would play a race on the screen, and would rock side to side, as if you were in it. They also had what looked like a hamster wheel atatched to an arm. The arm would go around in a citcle. and the person inside the "hamster wheel" would have to walk around it to stop from falling over. By the time I got out of the museum, it was like, 4:30 so I went to check out the main city. First, I went to the Marienplatz, and got there right at five, when the giant cuckoo clock go off. Then I went to the Frauenkirche, one of the biggest churches I have ever seen. Finally I went back to the hotel for the night. This is a really interesting city, I've got to say. Marienplatz with the old town hall The Isar, the river that runs through Munich.
