Hi all,

Well, it has been a pretty quiet week (went to Oktoberfest a couple of times, did another couple of things but not much really), and most of my time has been spent getting ready for the next 26 days when i travel to Sweden, Switzerland, Italy and Austria.

However, as i now only have 1 full day left in Munich before i return home (October 31), it may be a good time to reflect on the time i have spent here. I guess the main thing i have noticed is that now i pretty much now know how the city runs-i know which trains to catch to get where, i know when shops open and close, and i know my way around the city well enough to not need any directions at all. It is strange to think that 2 months ago i knew none of this information, as it all seems entirely natural now that i know all of it. I think it would be quite easy for me to be able to stay here on my own and find my way around and do things without any trouble at all, whereas when i got here i knew absolutely nothing about the city at all.

Well, i better go, off to Malmo in Sweden tomorrow (where the temperatures will no doubt be colder, it is STILL shorts and t-shirts stuff here), so will hopefully write from there about Malmo and nearby Copenhagen.
