Paul's visit- Germany (Munich)

Paul and i went to Germany for a few days between Christmas and New Years. We took an overnight bus from Paris to Munich which was like 14 hours or something. Turns out this wasnt the smartest idea ever. We thought we were really going to be saving money but its not worth it. You have to basically sleep sitting and you have no where to rest your head aside from straight back.. there isnt enough leg room so you cant stretch out your legs and people around you are talking and laughing anyways so even if you were completely comfortable, it was loud. Paul and I were huge geeks on the bus because we were the only ones with our lights on and reading. Once again (surprise surprise) we didnt really talk to each other. So, we arrived in Munich early in the morning. Turns out the bus station, unlike in Canada, is in the middle of nowhere. We had to somehow manage to get ourselves to the touristy part of Munich which was pretty easy for anyone who could speak German. Neither Paul or I could (just to say yes-ja, no-nein, cheers-prost) so it was fairly difficult. We had to figure out the metro ticket machine which of course was all in German. We actually didnt even really need a ticket anyways because the metro runs basically on the honor system as no one really goes around and checks tickets. So, we got to downtown Munich and went to the tourist office and they told us there was a hostel around the corner so we went there. We stayed at Wombats. Now, this hostel was amazing. It was fairly cheap, had a bar, a pool table, nice rooms, lockers and tons of people. It was fantastic.
