First Few Hours in Munich

 First observation of Germany...... this is a cafe near the main street and all the seats are single file and are in rows, all facing the same direction.  I know not why..???  First we thought something must be going on in the square ahead and everyone was sitting waiting for it to happen, but it turns out, they just like the order.




Next we head for the Laundromat in our very ethnic neighbourhood to get some rather needed washing done.  I am uncertain as to the reason for the colour chosen for the laundromat interior design.  It was electric and the signs were in German, (obviously), Arabic, Chinese and English, so it shows it must be an incredibly mixed place, much like all of Europe.  We think about immigration in NZ as a local problem, but it is clearly world wide and in Europe, has been for 1000's of years. 

The laundry took some time and we were pretty tired, so bright green silliness became the order of the day.
 And finally, when is a fake clearly a fake? 

When someone wears their Gucci slip on shoes to the Laundromat, with their socks.  To me, that doesn't scream "these shoes are genuine!!!"

More to come from Germany...... tomorrow.
