May (Munich)

What a wonderful month of May with many cultural events in Munich:
Stroke Urban Art Fair (Praterinsel): Absolutely impressive is the black light artwork of Lukas Fertsch "Jenseits unserer Tage"

Aaber Award (Stiglmaierplatz)

Nice installation for events or parties is  Juri Gottschall´s "push the button" Fotobox / Photobooth.

2012 UEFA Champions League Final in Munich:Even weeks before this important match the ambiance in Munich was already amazing! Everybody was looking forward to this historic "Finale dahoam". 

And then... Oh quel blamage! No Bayern fan wants to talk about this horrible result anymore... :-( It was so hard to believe that Bayern lost this match! When I cycled home, everywhere, the atmosphere was like in a funeral! 3times the second place! I think that´s the best motivation for the next season!

Fan party at the Theresienwiese

Now I have this T-shirt at home,
and I think I´ll never use it again...

Apart from that, I had a lot of administration stuff to do (employment center, finance office, get an health insurance, etc.). Leaving a country, isn´t easy at all! 
I´m still waiting for a special form of the French employment center... (since April!!!). To get an health insurance in Germany, I needed also a special form called E104. Many emails, calls, direct visits... So boring!!!
To compensate these uninteresting things, I started Jogging (3 times a week).

Cinema:

Bel Ami: HORRIBLE!
Dark Shadows: Fun
21 Jump Street: Incredible good! I was expecting a very bad movie, and really surprised that I couldn´t stop loughing!
What a pity that only a few cinemas in Munich are showing movies in their originial version! I miss UGC and MK2 and espacially my old card UGC illimité 2 persons!!! 

My favorite places:

Restaurants:
Pardis (Schwabing): Delicious Turkish-Mediterranean food!
Pepe-Nero (Neuhausen): Very cheap but good Italian specialities.

Bars:
Barroom (Haidhausen): Very tasteful and lovely decorated cocktails! 
Schall & Rauch, Sehnsucht (Maxvorstadt)

Clubs:
Atomic Café (Altstadt): Since years my favorite club in Munich
Charlie (Untergiesing): very stylish people, bar lights/decoration and "happiest bar in town"
Sauna (Maxvorstadt): Hot hot hot! I like this wooden design concept with swinging lights and cult tv commercials in the restroom.
