(New!) Munich museums (最新版)慕尼黑的博物館

Looking for something to do in Munich City on Sunday? When Bayern-Munich football team is not playing in town, the City is much quieter and there aren't too many things left (shops are closed on Sundays everywhere on Sundays), so museums are a good choice. Besides, museum entrance fees are only 1 euro compared to 9 euros on other days - that's a pretty good bargain! So prospective visitors, you know how to plan your time in Munich and don't complain that there's nothing to do on Sundays!

星期日在慕尼黑有何可幹?遇上拜仁慕尼黑作客,所有商鋪都關門休息(全德國亦然),街道便格外冷清,唯有博物館仍開放可以逛逛,而且入場費由平時9歐元減至1歐元,當然是超值之消閑活動!如果他日來慕尼黑,記得好好安排時間,免得星期日悶呆!

Now you know why so many people were waiting to enter!
怪不得等入場時大排長龍了。

























Antikensammlungen (Antiques Collection Museum)
古代文物博物館

German archeologists worked hard and unearthed many ancient Greek handicraft items that are now housed in this Museum. There are also sculptures but they are mainly replicas from other museums (mainly Rome and Athens).

館內不少古希臘手工藝品,皆由德國考古學家發掘,雕塑大多是由羅馬和雅典的博物館複製。

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...

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...

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...
