Hello for the new week! How are you today and did you have a nice weekend? I went to the cinema to watch the 3D movie “Journey to the center of the earth”! Have you seen it before? If not, then please go and check at the cinema or in the internet to see when they will show that movie. I am pretty sure you will like it! With the 3D stereoscopy technique, you will have the feeling as you are a part of that journey, so exciting! Munich is not only a city where you can enjoy a good entertainment or a good place to study, Munich also has many nice, historic places to visit. My best friend showed me some famous place here, and I got really impressed! But I cannot tell you all those places in this blog, so I will choose one of them, but a very impressive one.
English Garden (Müchen, Feb 09)
Have you ever heard about the English Garden in Munich? I think you can see pictures at many places, in newspapers, education brochures, internet, etc. It is one of ten places in Munich people suggest to visit when you have a chance. My friend told me that it is the biggest park in Europe! From the internet I found out some big numbers about this park, such as: around 130 ha is woodland, 186 ha meadows and 16 ha water, over 100 bridges and footbridges, about 50 – 60 species of bird that breed in the English Garden, there are also hedgehogs, squirrels, wild rabbits, hares and foxes, and so on. Bavarian people are very smart when they set the system of the water flow in this huge park. When you walk in the park you have the feeling that there are many rivers around you, but actually it is only one! My friend also told me that the way they built the water system helps to keep the water clean. And it is really true; I can see how clear the water is!
When I went there the first time, the park was covered with a white color from the snow! It was so beautiful! Many people went there to walk, the children played with the snow and dogs loved to run around. Because of the sunny weather it looked like the animals feel the upcoming spring. I even could here from somewhere above me the song from the birds, what a nice time! I had the chance to visit some historic places in the park as well: the Apollo Temple, the Chinese Tower, and the Rumford Hall, etc. And do you know why about 3.5 million people visit the English Garden every year? If you come here one day, you will find out by yourself! If I inspired you about this unique park and you like to know more about English Garden, you can follow this link: http://www.schloesser.bayern.de/englisch/garden/objects/mu_engl.htm… Maybe this weekend? If you know some interesting place in Munich, then please share it with me – I will do the same! I wish we both have a nice week ahead and be successful with our studies – our new language!
Cheers!
