Flashmob Freeze München: I was there

Today, before heading to the Lowenbräu brewery with the Couch Surfing group, I spent three minutes of my time in a Flashmob Freeze. This is a typical urban event where a group of people stay still while the pedestrians walk amazed through them.

As there is so much evidence about my participation in You Tube, I decided to make it public with this two videos.

Also Monks had their businesses

Monasteries in Germany were not only the religious centre of many regions but also a commercial one. In the case of Andechs, the monks earned a living by brewing a special sort of beer. In those days it was dangerous to drink water from the rivers. So most of the population and even children used to drink beer, which was produced using boiled water, as a way to avoid illnesses.

I'm a member of Couch Surfing and I decided to try my first post. I wanted to do the one hour walk to the monastery, watch the landscape and enjoy a couple of beers at the monastery. Four people joined in and we started a series of visits to breweries in Munich and nearby.
