It is said that if you rub the nose on the

creature on the sheild, it will bring you good luck

and as you can see, the black is all rubbed off by those

who walk past. Look at that smile on Gord's face! Thats because

his favorite German rye bread was everywhere!

Munich's New Town Hall that houses a Glockenspiel that

has 32 life size figures reinacting historicial Bavarian events
One can not go to Munich and not make a stop at the most

famous beerhall in the world (the Hofbrauhaus) for beer and giant-sized pretzels

(thats pretzels and coasters for the girls!)

Can't miss this advertising while going under a bridge on the Autobahn

...had to take a picture because it was ginormous!
