oh well, so I wasn't worth a call ...

Sorry, I don't have any idea what part of Austria you're from -- nor
do I have a phone number. Being there just four days really
restricted our activities to the bare minimum. Next time, we'll have
to set something up.

I've been there this year for my first time: I entered one entrance
and left about 15 minutes later on the other entrance, down to the
subway, headed away for a couple of stations and went to the German
museum.

I really wanted to see that museum, but see above. There just wasn't
time.

And what was the (new?) perspective you won or learned?

The one thing I discovered (that surprised me) was that I don't
actually hate big cities -- I hate AMERICAN-style big cities.

Because there are no American-style suburbs around Munich, everyone
actually lives in the city -- which turns it into a lively, fun, and
safe place to live. I love the scale of the place (no skyscrapers),
and could truly live in Munich without any trouble -- well, except for
my 7th-grade German.

Sadly, the lack of GA in Germany would kill me. Markus gave us a good
primer of what it's like to fly in Germany, and it was truly
depressing. Yes, it's possible to own and fly your own plane, but the
hassle level (and costs) are truly breathtaking.


God you're an idiot.
