Aiyah, really lazy to write so much lah. This will be a picture blog only.
Reach BMW!!
I think the policemen there use this bike.

More BMW...
After a while, I get bored. I mean BMW is nice, but it's a car which none of us (normal white collar workers) can ever afford here in Malaysia. Even if you drive one, it's either you loan max for 9 years or it's a recon car, which still costs a bomb.
Nevertheless, I still pay money to go in here to "look" at the cars, might as well leave my fingerprints around to show that I was there.
After visiting Spielzeugmuseum, it's nearly time for dinner. With growing stomach (Since walking for one whole day) we walked around to scout for nice and not too expensive food. :)
Was walking around the center of Munich, saw some very nice yet dunno-what-is-the-building -name building. Such as the building below.
Then finally we spotted the Subway. It's a name that my colleague was mentioning on the first day we arrived Erfurt. However, I do not have the chance to eat it at Erfurt nor Dresden. So I'm really lucky to be able to eat it at Munich.
Subway has 5 different types of bread for you to choose from. I choose the honey oat flavour. It's really nice, and a bit sweet due to the honey.
And, you can even choose the length of the bread you want to eat. Haha.. The left side is half foot, around 6 inches, and the right side is the one inch sandwich.
This is me munching away while exclaiming loudly to my travel-mates how nice the sandwich is. I mean it's so worth it. Not only it's less expensive than normal meal in Germany, it's also very tasty. At least I can now cross out "Trying subway" from my to-do-list.
After visiting Oktoberfest, we went walked around Marienplatz and saw this museum, Spielzeug and Teddymuseum. Door fee is EURO3 and you are free to roam the 5 floors of toys.
The "thing" that attracts us to go in is because it was written at it's billboard, it's barbie doll 50 years old birthday. Apparently barbie doll was created or born at the year 1949.
We went up and down the building using a super small lift. I think the building was build maybe during 40-50 years ago. So it's kind of scary when I went into the small lift.
At every different floor, there was different type of toys available. And it provides explanation both in German and English. You can get a very good idea what does children in 1950s had as toys.
Old fashioned doll house
Old fashioned barbie dolls. lol...
A lot of teddy bears...
Popeyes. haha...
I like this one, ferris wheels. Must be rich family children's toy
However, contrary to the normal norm that Oktoberfest is celebrated during the month of October, in Germany (Where oktoberfest was originated), the celebration was celebrated during 2nd week of September until the beginning of October.
And I am (damn) proud to mention that I have the (rarest) opportunity to be in Munich to celebrate Oktoberfest this year!!! Hooray (x 1000 to myself)...
At Munich, Oktoberfest was celebrated at a big park called Theresiewiese. I extended my business trip for 4 days and my last stop is to enjoy oktoberfest at Munich. (Sorry, cut queue because october-fest is such a hot topic right now.)
Contrary to what other people thought that it's just beer drinking, the park is actually filled with stalls selling souvenirs, foods, and different type of games. It's more or less like Kuching festival, only the area is like 100 times bigger. And the games is 100 times more dangerous + adrenaline rushing than those in Kuching during fun fair.
I regretted not buying this handbag.
The famous ginger bread
Oktoberfest hat
I actually saw ppl wearing this around their neck like a necklace.
And big barn was scattered around the park where ppl will go in and enjoy a pint of beer listen to jolly songs and talk on top of their lungs and have a hearty laugh, because after a glass of beer (BIG beer), all strangers will become your best friend. ;)
Fully seated. it's how hot this festival is in Munich. Even the lousy 2.5 stars hotel that I stayed overnight cost me a hefty 266 EURO, which is equivalent to RM 1080 one night.
People mountain people sea. Surprisingly the weather in Munich is not cold at all, at 20 degree celcius which is just nice.
The BMW Musuem
The first old BMW greeting us
At the counter buying ticket
Alright! I paid and got my ticket to go in and look at all the old cars to my content.
