Day 8: Munich.. fun!! .. Warning: Graphic Images in this Post..

Alvis's friends decided to take us for a short city walk today.. we bought a group ticket for usage on the U-Bahn.. i tink is 15 euros for a group of 5 ppl tickets..

This sign means that there is a U-Bahn station below.. The public transport system of Munich is pretty much the same as that of Berlin.. the U-Bahn is like the MRT of Singapore.. n S-Bahn r trains that go father outskirts..

Old Town Hall in Munich.. At 5pm and 9pm each day, the clock at the top of the town hall will chime n the figures n statues will move abt.. there is one time when everyone saw the statues "fight".. one of the figurines actually stab at another figurine.. according to the Lonely Planet guidebook, some bronze figures will also dance abt on top of the tower ..
