- St Barbara is the patron saint of armourers
- Bavarian food is rather better than I had assumed it would be.
- Dachau is almost a suburb of Munich
- I learnt how to programme the sat nav system in a VW people carrier from a standing start that was in German without the aid of instructions or the back seat navigators sat in the back of the van.
- I may have forgotten most of my schoolgirl German but I had more of the language than any of my British based colleagues with me.
- Abfall is the German for rubbish or litter.
- I remembered that the Germans do have a sense of humour and a funny one at that.
- German TV leaves a lot to be desired.
- South Park in German is wrong.
- Bavaria is beautiful and has lots of churches.

Just Got Back From Germany
Today, well yesterday now. It was fun tiring and informative, it was also work so I didn't have to pay for it. But let me tell you about some of the random things I have learnt, relearnt or been reminded of over the last two days.

You didn't happen to wander around the Wies'n while you were there?
ReplyDeleteDachau is a nice place but I would not consider it a suburb of Munich... It does have a lot of good pubs and Chinese restaurants. Just a shame that all it's remembered for is the KL.
I kinda miss Germany...
At least you didn't mention the war. I mentioned it once but I think I might have got away with it.
ReplyDeleteJust so long as you didn't try the "delicacy" that isn't, the raw sausage meat. Andy & I are STILL ill. We went to Munich over a year ago.
ReplyDeleteGraeme no we didn't get a chance it was almost a straight in and out. We stopped at a place called Schrobenhausen and only saw quite a bit of the countryside on the way back as we didn't know the diverted routes out.
ReplyDeleteSelina - Nope we were very good.
Charlee - Didn't have any sausage at all :(
