Walking All Day

Dec 4, 2010. My first saturday in Munich kung saan di ako gumala ng malayo or lumabas para mamasyal. I went out this day simply for shopping: buying christmas gifts, souvenirs, "pasalubong".

Start the day by eating breakfast at the hotel and my officemate gave me a slice of cake. He said that it's for me from a colleague whom I met last Sunday. At 10am head out first to BMW(ung isa kc jan nagrequest ng toy from BMW) so I went there first. When I reached the place dun ko narealize that the memories with RS-Munich colleagues will always pop in my mind if I enter this building. Then I watched the exhibition again bago bumili ng toy car.

After that I return to Marienplatz, shopping area ng Munich. Naligaw ako kakahanap ng Maximillianstrasse so ended up asking some locals. Yeah I walked on the opposite way so balik na naman ako. From end to end ng street kakahanap ng pinakamurang brand ng bday/christmas gift for "him".


Next walk to look for Hard Rock Store for souvenirs pero walang nabili. Then I passed by the Christkndl Market, bukas na pala sya ng morning akala ko sa gabi lang yun so uber dami ng tao plus Christmas sale pala. Dun na nagstart ang paglilibot sa mga Christmas stalls at inusisa mga products nila. Ang cucute ng mga stalls kc ung hitsura may miniature ng famous church, palibot ng christmas lights at maraming decorations. Pero super patok talaga ang Gluwein(hot wine) cguro kc malamig ang panahon.

Then nakarating na ako dun sa binilhan ko ng damit last Monday and tinry ko papalitan ng size ung binili ko kc maliit sya, buti na lang pinalitan naman nila. Then I bought some of my gifts there. Dahil sale, nakabili rin ako ng damit for me.

After that, lakad pa rin and I saw this group wearing santa claus costumes so I asked them why they are wearing such outfit. Sabi nila they want to share the true essence of Christmas(catholic group sila giving small booklets about Christmas and Jesus).



So pinicturan ko sila pero bago ko pa napress sabi nung isa sya na lang daw kukuha para kasama ako. Then after that, binigyan nila ako booklet kaso german so di ko naman maiintindihan plus a gift.

Then I continue walking and stopped at LV and other famous brand shops. I bumped with one of my female RS-SG colleague. We went to eat late lunch at KFC and first time ko makakita ng mga pinoy dito. Hehehe! Mga nakapag-asawa daw sila ng german.

Tapos lakad ulit but this time with Weiwei pero naghiwalay din kmi sa isang store kc may bibilhin ako pero sya gusto na nya lumipat sa iba. Lakad lakad ulit pero napapansin ko parami ng parami ang couples on the streets na naghahalikan or kahit sa loob ng stores. hihihi! and of course ang iingay ng mga magbabarkada. Then suddenly namiss ko ang berks, check the time and I know by this time nastart na ang party party ng berks. I was about to call one of them pero mahal baka mapahaba tawagan kc dami nila. hahaha! Then biglang tumunog ang bells. Since magkakalapit churches dun kaya nung tumunog as if they are inviting me to go inside. So bago pa ako ma-emo(nakakaemo kc ung surroundings plus ung tunog) ng tuluyan pumasok na ako sa Church of our Lady. Stay there for few minutes and observed the people inside.

Then naisip ko may di pa ako nabibilhan kaya hanap ulit ng shop kng san makakabili. Then pinakahuling shop na pinuntahan ko is chocolate shop of course. Hahaha! Then dahil sale at malapit na christmas, siksikan kmi sa train. Pagdating sa hotel, microwave yung tinake out kong carbonara na di ko naubos last friday, nood ng MTV pa rin, sort ng pictures sa Salzburg, laruin ang isa sa mga katabi ko sa higaan then tulog.
