Germany wins and Munich parties

... Sam and I arrived safely in Munich on Friday after a connecting flight in London. Joerg met us at the train stop close to his work and we came back to his place to relax a bit before going out to a free party with a few of his friends. After sleeping in a bit on Saturday since we came back quite late on Friday, we made our way back to Munich and Sam went sightseeing while Joerg and I met up with Elisabeth for some bier in the bier garten. It was great to see some old friends from Nantes and to walk around in the sun in Munich. We met up with Sam a little later to see the football match between Germany and Sweden (first round action). The game was actually in Munich so there was electricity in the air as kick-off started. We watched Germany convincingly beat Sweden 2-0 and went to the main square in Munich to see the festive Germans chanting their countries name. I even participated in the action tying a German flag on my back. Joerg translated a few of the chants like: "Swedish football players are better at making furniture"... spoof on Ikea, a swedish furniture retailer. We finished the day in a park in a bier garten with some sausage cold salads... a good day :)
