Lion statue
There was a lion statue on the Residenz street. A part of the statue, a small lion's face under the shield, had a good shine. It was because people believed touching the small lion's face brought good fortune! I really hoped I could drink many kinds of good beer in Germany and I touched it slightly.

Feldherrnhalle(Field Marshal's hall) on Odeonsplatz
Odeonsplatz was located very close to Marienplatz and it was a large pedestrian square surrounded by tourist attractions. One of the eye-catching buildings was the Field Marshal's hall with two Bayern lions at the entrance. It was built to honor the German military heroes.

Theatinerkirche(Theatine Church)
A mustard colored building next to the Field Marshal's hall was Theatine Church. The design of the church was based on Italian baroque style.
There were a lot of impressive architectures in gothic style, baroque style and rococo style in the city. However, it was hard to explain the difference because I didn't know much about western architecture. The only thing I could say for a fact was that everything was intricate and gorgeous!!
center, right: Of course, the German police car was a German vehicle! BMW! Cool!

Hofgarten(Court Garden)
Was a park located on the east of the Field Marshal's hall. You can get a good view of the Theatine Church in the distance and you can also see the back of Residenz.

A small building with a green roof was in the center of the park. I heard that the park was very beautiful in summer and it was a good place for a walk.

Inside of the building was decolated by mosaic tiles with seashell. If you are lucky, you can hear local plays and traditional music which adds to the atmosphere.

St. Michaelskirche(St. Michael Church)
Was another of the most beautiful churches in the city. It was almost destroyed during World War II and it was rebuilt afterward like most of the buildings in Germany. It was easy to find the church when you strolled along the shopping street.
On our way to get to the church, we met another Korean. Minki-san, he was traveling around Europe alone and he joined our private guided tour and our party became large!

Japanese restaurant
Once two Koreans and I parted company with Norbert, we went to a Japanese restaurant. According to a Korean guidebook which Cho-san was using, it was well-known for its "Kimchi Ramen(Kimchi is Korean pickles and Ramen is Japanese style Chinese-noodle)". It was a strange feeling to eat such an Asian food with German beer in Germany!

Believe it or not, we weren't drunk!!

Nobert and his friend joined us and we headed for a beer hall. His friend, Minsu-san was Korean and now there was one German, 3 Koreans and one Japanese in our group. It was a strange party!
