Another Beautiful Day.

So I’m very tired today and since we spent much of the day visiting German Companies and listening to Presentations, I have a little bit less to talk about. That’s a good thing since I really need some sleep!

This morning, we had the privilege of being spoken to by representatives of the following German / German located companies:

U.S. Commercial Service
Deloitte Consulting
Ketchum
Interbrand

Presentations were thorough and informative. I learned a lot about German people and the German culture. I’ll share more about that in my final thoughts on Munich.

Lunch was at an Italian place… I had a salad with fried fish. I know what your thinking… why go to an Italian restaurant in Germany? Ha ha… just did. That’s were the group went so that’s where I went.

The afternoon as spent at TUV SUV which is a company that specializes in inspecting all kinds of things from motor vehicles to elevators. They’re apparently very big all over the world including the states.



After we returned from the company visit, I went to Saf for Dinner.
To save time and bring sleep more quickly I will just say that I am IN LOVE with this place. The atmosphere was lovely, the music was a very mellow American house mix, and the food was amazing. I found the restaurant on this site: Happy Cow.

I also met a really great Italian (Milano) woman who gave me her contact information and told me to look her up if I’m ever in Milan. It amazed me that she spoke so many languages and knew more about US politics than I did (or at least as much which is still fascinating to me). I shared with her my restaurant find from last night since she mentioned that she too is having trouble finding vegetarian food. We had a lovely conversation about everything under the sun from Politics to the recent news of the US governments decision to bail out Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and how that decision will affect American taxpayers… I plan to e-mail her soon to stay in touch.

My waiter and waitress were really great. Especially about the fact that I don’t know many German words. The menu was completely vegan and mostly raw so I had no problem picking anything on the menu, however they still explained things to me very well. I had the fettuccini Alfredo which was really some kind of vegetable cut into “noodles” with fettuccini sauce. It was fabulous. Also had a house salad and the house dressing was superb! Very pleased.






My waiter had locs so I asked him why I don’t see many people with locs in Munich. He told me that apparently people in Munich aren’t very “colorful” or unique… He’s originally from Berlin. Apparently Berlin and Hamburg are the places to be.

I probably wont be able to post pictures or write much tomorrow because our schedule is packed until at least 11:30 tomorrow evening. I will be posting my final thoughts on Munich at some point though. If not tomorrow then as soon as I get to Prague.

Good night all.
