The Eerie Files (from Munich)

MW complained there's no update to be seen far and wide on my blog. So here you are...

Yesterday, amongst other things I visited BA in Munich. I went there on Wednesday night, and left Smørebrød at the P&R facilities at the new Allianz Arena soccer stadium just out of town. It was lit - a brillant, hovering blue in the dark of the night, with the white and red lights of the highway right next to it. It is immense. During daytime, or when it is not lit, it looks banal. But lit from inside in this eerie blue... wow.

I took the U-Bahn to city centre (and the next day back again, so it cost me EUR 4,70 to leave the car outside of the centre, which is devoid of parking lots).



In the evening, we dined out at an Indian's.




Munich was white. A thin layer of snow covered everything around, and light snow dust was drifting down from the sky.
Outside of Munich, the ground was completely white. For this year, it was the first drive in winter for me.




Oh, and there was a fat cat in a shopwindow facing the street. The shopkeeper will have a hard time reorganizing the ages-old boxes of hair conditioner (oh. This reminds me I still have to get a new bottle of shampoo... a thing I keep forgetting now for a week or so) that the cat toppled over.
