"If we get up now, we can catch the afternoon"

This'll be short, but I wanted to make another little post.

I slept until 4:00 or so on Sunday and took it easy for most of the time after that. Later that evening I went up to hang out with Ben Schmitz, this German guy I've hung out with a couple times. His English is a not great but that means I speak German with him most of the time. I need to speak more German here.

He gave me some German music that has so far been pretty good. I particularly like this band, Juli:



Ben is a music student here in Munich and, as he was telling me, the music school here occupies the building previously used in 1938 for the Munich appeasement conference, before the outbreak of World War II. Below this building there is a network of tunnels and bunkers Hitler had built in case he were in Munich and needed to take refuge from a gas attack. The tunnels apparently span much of the city and, as the story goes, people have gotten lost in there in the past and died. Freaky. Anyway, because they want to keep out all the Neo-Nazis only musical school students are allowed into the depths of the building but Ben was going to see about showing me around in a weekend or two. Sounds pretty cool. Apparently Hitler's bedroom is still intact down there somewhere along with some engraved graffiti made by Allied soldiers while occupying the city. I'm looking forward to it.

I thought I'd write that down quickly. Sorry about no pictures but I did at least leave a song.
