The city most worth living in

Just about when I decided to leave the city I like so much to find some adventure somewhere else, the London “Monocle Magazine” found out that Munich is the city with the highest quality of life! It even shakes off competitors like Copenhagen and Zurich! Is it sarcasm that a London magazine shows me the superior standing of my city just when I want to try my luck in London, the metropolis which didn’t even made it among Top 20?
Well, mostly you realize the worth of something when you lost it. But luckily I have always been aware of Munich's beauty: Unique beer gardens, green spaces, riding your bike, the Alps and Italy near by. Hundreds of crystal clear lakes, lots of sun and a café culture as you only find it in Italy! Surfers on the Isar river and a damn strange language… I will come back, that’s for sure!

Feeling home

For someone who comes around quite much it is hard to say where home is. Is it where you come from, where you currently live or where your friends are? Or is it where you feel comfortable?
Recently I felt what home means to me. It is the warm comfortable wind on my skin while riding my bike through a summer night in Munich. The streets are almost empty and only the little rabbits on the lawn close to my house are interested in my nightly journey. Shining stars in the dark sky and some smooth jazz in my ear. I was all alone but I felt to be in the right place. Home!

And where else other than in Munich you can ride your bike to a fancy club? Taking a cab? Can do everybody!

Age indicator

It is always good to meet up with your friends and enjoy some good wine. Not just for socialising but also to get informed about your good friend who happens to have a lunch date with one of her supervisors.
Sitting together in our bar, she and her colleague could not agree on the age of the guy.
“I guess he is about 50 +/-.”
“No way! I would say 40 +.”
“Come on, you just want to whitewash the situation!”
Being not really involved, all of a sudden I became the leading lady in the age guessing game!
“We just send Peggy. If he approaches her we know it for sure: He is 50+!”
Oh great, my attraction for old men beyond the Viagra free manliness is finally helpful for once!
