Happy 849th, Munich! 慕尼黑849歲了！

Munich is a very old town - in fact it's celebrating its 849th anniversary this weekend! The city put on a show with typical Bavarian - and sometimes medieval - flair, showcasing a lot of traditional arts and craft as well as food. It wasn't such a big festival this time round, but who knows what is in store when it's the next birthday bash! So next year, there's another good time to visit Munich apart from Oktoberfest - and trust me, the weather in June is generally better than late September (when Oktoberfest takes place)!

相不到慕尼黑已有849年歷史了！本週末市中心便舉行了一個小小慶典，街頭擺賣不少傳統手工藝及食品，頓時充滿巴伐利亞鄉土風采，還有點古時氣息。今年的慶典看來也非特別大規模，大概是要留待明年「大壽」才大搞一番吧！所以要是明年來慕尼黑旅遊的話，不一定等九月杪的啤酒節，這也是一個好的時候——況且六月的天氣一般都較好呢！

Some traditional handicraft ... 傳統手工藝

... and some rather post-modern ones! 也有用現代手法表現古代題材的

How can a Bavarian fest be complete without a beer garden?
傳統巴伐利亞的慶典，怎少得露天啤酒園？

排隊和人潮 Queues and crowds

A restaurant chain well-known in Hong Kong called Tamjai specialising in mixian (a type of rice noodles) has been talking about expanding to Australia for several years. The vision has finally materialised when the first Australian branch was open in Melbourne CBD in 28th November. Wife, baby and I were already keen to try it out on its second day of opening. 說了多年的譚仔米線往澳洲擴張，到11月28日譚仔在澳洲的首家分店終於在墨爾本市區，一家三口在開張第二天便貪新鮮試了。 We waited for 1 1/2 hours since 19:00 before we got a table. Many passers-by were amazed by this queue and a lady even asked what the queue was about and whether it was indeed worth the wait. She said that the length of the queue had not changed since she last walked by 4 hours earlier! 由黃昏7點排隊等了一個半小時才可內進，其間不少行人對人龍嘖嘖稱奇，甚至有西人婦人說人龍跟4小時前一樣長，問我排隊的目的和米線值不值得吃。 Customers can customise their own mixian noodles by choosing the soup base and ingredients. At the base price, 2 ingredients excluding the more expensive, special ones are included. The special ones...

Czech it out (1) 捷克三日遊（1）

My ‘conquest’ to the east continues after spending Easter in Croatia. Over the Pentecost long weekend (10th to 12th May), three other friends and I went for a trip in the neighbouring Czech Republic. Driving was a handy option for the four of us, as the Czech Republic was not that far away (the distance between Prague and Munich is only about 400 km), petrol costs were more reasonable when shared by 4 people, and it gave us much more flexibility with where we wanted to go. 今年是我的旅遊「東進年」，復活節到過克羅地亞後，我和幾個朋友上個長週末（5月10至12日）前往鄰國捷克玩了三天。由於距離不算太遠（首都布拉格離慕尼黑也是400公里左右），四人同行，駕車不但不貴，而且要往其他地方玩玩也更方便。 The 400 km drive was quite bearable as we have chosen to make a few breaks en route. After stopping at the border for money exchange and purchasing a highway sticker, we headed for the city of Plzen and spent 2 or 3 hours there. We had lunch at the famous local brewery of Pilsner Urquell and tried some ‘local cuisine’. It turned out that the food wasn’t too different from the meaty, hearty German fare, but...

When autumn settles 秋高氣爽

Finally the weather has stopped being temperamental in October, and is giving us as many fine days as we ask for. The increasing chilliness in the morning air, however, is a reminder that beautiful autumn days like these don't necessarily last long! The weather was still rather warm for the first few days of the month. On 1st October, my colleagues and I took an early finish at work and went for the Oktoberfest. While it was not as jam-packed and crazy as the opening day , it was still not easy to find a table. We sat outside during the day time and switched indoors in the beer tent after dark. The atmosphere inside was simply infectious. We all entered a state of exhilaration in no time, as we saw a sea of people standing on the benches, dancing and chanting to the music of the band. It finally dawned on me how people could spend a whole day at the Oktoberfest. Beer, it seems, is the best form ecstasy for many people in Western societies! The cooler weather in the following weeken...
