Hello everybody! And firs of all hello the new “students” of Deutsch Akademie! At the moment I learn deutsch in 1B level, and just now I downloaded electronic book , which is presented by Deutsch Akademie . And I can really recommend you this book! It is really very good, especially for those people who start learning deutsch and want to do it faster! There you will find big useful dictionary with good explanations and also you will find here different questions and also the answers, which you can use NOW in Munich!

Münchner Freiheit is another outstanding example of how creative the engineers can be! In my opinion this racy and full of contrasts structure deserves an engineering Grammy. Both the outer and the underground parts are filled with surprises- the mirror ceiling, the blue columns, which get illuminated by blue LED’s, the ground construction of the tram stop, which looks like an UFO… all these ingredients make the U-Bahn station Münchner Freiheit look very unusual and controversial. I’ve been to Munich for about 2 months and during this time I have seen so many spectacular things, including buildings and architectural masterpieces, that I can say for sure – Munich is a place you can live nice and enjoy your staying!

I took  U-6  and decided  to start my weekend training at Alte- Heide.  I was jogging in the district Milbertshofen am Hart. I was very surprised when I saw a sky-scratcher on my way. I have to admit, that there are not so many things, which can divert me, while I’m jogging. However this was one of them. So I stopped… I took a slow walk around to discover the building. It is amazing and effective picture. It is massive and at the same time very elegant. I think it hangs on the fully glazed mirror- facades and sharp corners, which makes this giant look “slim fit”. Only later at home, when I’ve reached the internet, I found out that it is an office building, called Highlight Towers.Taking into account, that Munich for approximately 80% consists of old buildings, there should be many opponents of this building. Candidly my first reaction was the same. But later I found this building very interesting, unusual and even nice… and it is interesting exactly because of the fact, that all other buildings in Munich are classical and not that “screamy”. I love the irregular architecture!

During the last hot summer days I discoverd my deep passion for the ice cream. There are lots of ice cream stations in Munich, which offer all possible variations of ice cream, including such exclusive tastes like grapefruit, snickers, cookies, litchi, passion fruit, grape, papaya etc. However my favorite taste is mango. It is not that fat as for instance strawberry, tastes like a real mango fruit and is very freshen. You have to try it. It’s delicious!

And living in Munich can give You a chance to do it more often, because by taking a car You can easily reach the mountain area. The route from Munich is about 300 km. I am a big fan of winter sports, especially snowboarding and I am really missing snowy times. I’ve never been in Alps in summer before, so I’ve decided to go in this experience and drive to the Alps. Despite the fact that my walking trip in the mountain area was about 3-4 hours long in each direction. The sights were fantastic! At the hight of about 3000m You are standing at the same level with clouds and birds. The green landscape takes You away from city stress!

The Munich summertime offers a lot of sunshine and positive mood. But sometimes it seems to be tooooo hot! It is so hot, that you even can’t breathe normally and because of the heat you start feeling yourself really upset.  At these moments you would be especially happy to dive into a forest lake or into a swimming pool and after it to have a cocktail in the coconut, like it is usually shown in commercials.  Unfortunately most of us don’t own private pools, don’t film in commercials and all Munich lakes are at least 2 hours away from the city center!However there is a solution and it sounds I-S-A-R !!! The river Isar goes through the heart of Munich and the water coming from Alps is cold enough to cool down everyone who’s been caught by the hot Munich climate!  5- minute – walk away from the S-Bahn station Isartor you will find a popular Isar beach.  It is a nice place by the river and a great opportunity to resist the sun attack. Please be careful and take into account, that the stream is very fast! Only good and very self-confident swimmers or surfers  ,) can enter the water careless.

As You already noticed, one of the most popular  vehicles in Munich is bycicle! Here are thousands of bycicles. And The way, how some people park their transport, makes me really smile. In the attachment You will find a nice example of how creative the people in Munich are :)

Beer Garten it’s a place for the tourists and of course for the inhabitants of Munich, where You can enjoy good weather, beautiful national orchestra music, delicious sausages and of course Beer! In the Beer garten You can take a part in training to prepare yourself for the OCTOBERFEST.

Close to the city centre and is one of the worlds largest urban public parks and contains jogging tracks,bridle-paths and a noudist area. In Englischer Garten You will meet the combination of nature with groomed lawns. A lot of different benches, where you can take a rest after the long walking. One of the most amazing thinga waits for You at the enter into the Englischer Garten. These are the surfers, who are surfing in the heart of Munich. Who could imagine that!!!

I have visited one more place in Munich, which inspired me. It was the Olympia Park, a green, lifeful place, where I had an opportunity to enjoy the fresh air and beautiful sights, as well as to free my mind and reload my energy before the hard upcoming week. I highly recommend to take a walk there and catch your own inspiration.
