Bayern make it into the quarter finals of the Champions League with the fastest goal in Champions League history (11 seconds) from Makkay, and a goal form Lucio off of a corner kick!

6 Years = 6 Minutes
I survived the events from yesterday. The process itself was actually quite painless. We were in the building for maybe 15-20 minutes and the actual thing only took about 6 minutes. It was the most expensive 3 minutes of my life, but it is finished now.
Afterwards I walked around Munich for a while and ended up in the San Francisco Coffee Company at Odeonsplatz Some of you might remember it from after my short walking tour. They have wireless so I went online for awhile and then later went back to where I’m staying to crash for a while.
Later that night I met my friend A from CSB to watch an Israeli movie since it is Israeli film week at the cultural center in Munich, Gasteig Oh, he’s from Israel, that’s why he wanted to go to see the film. It was actually interesting. It was a documentary about a street kid in Jerusalem.
After that we went to a bar that is modeled after the famous Brecht musical called The Threepenny Opera The place is pretty cool because every room is based on a scene from the musical.
So, it was nice to get out and see people. Sitting at home was not an option. Tonight I’m going to dinner with M. Tomorrow I’ll go talk to some hotels about my Oktoberfest trip next fall. Then maybe the Hofbrauhaus…
Steh auf wenn ihr Bayern seid!
One of the highlights of my trip has been that I had the chance to go to an FCBayern game in the new stadium! It was great! It definitely blows away the old olympic stadium. It is really steep so you are right over the field. We were on the upper deck so we had a great view. Unfortunately the game wasn’t that great since no one scored and they The were playing one of the worst teams! It 
ended 0-0. This means Bayern in now in 4th place and out of a position to get in to the champions league. So, the next day they fired the trainer. As you do, I guess.
After the games something a bit scary happened. I went with two Irish guys and a guy from Israel. So, we were all speaking English. On the way out we were in the crowd of people, and I smelled something burning. I turned to the one irish guy and said, “what the heck is burning.” He says, “it’s like it’s following us.” Then he looked at himself, ” It’s not me” Then the other Irish guy yells, “Bryan! It’s you!” I look down and there was smoke pouring out of my jacket pocket! Someone had dropped a cigarette or something in my pocket it is was burning my coat! Now, I have a hole in the bottom of the pocket. It was pretty scary. I guess it was just some idiot playing a trick, but it is odd they picked me the only one from the US. But anyway, nothing happened accept the hole in my pocket. Thank goodness!
What’s the best way to get over JetLag?
I’m staying with a friend of mine. Actually I’m staying at her place and she is staying at her boyfriends. The first day, we were on our way to the Viktualienmarkt for my traditional Bratwurst and Beer. I do this everytime when I arrive and right before I leave Munich. Another friend SG was going to meet us there. When she got there she told me she just got a call from Jerry. Jerry lives in Jersey and he has a company that organizes trips to trade fairs all over the world for companies from the US. He wanted us to come down to Kilians (where I used to work). The funny thing is I haven’t seen him in ages. I seem to only see him in Munich. Even thought he lives less than 2 hours away!
It turns out he and some other guys were going to another friends pub in Straubing (about 1:15 from Munich). Molloy’s Pub So, I still had the same clothes on from the trip over. They talked me in to going with them, but I had to go then there was no time to go change or get a change of clothes. I’m really glad I went though it was a great time and the owners are really cool as well. I was wrecked the next day though, and had to wear the same clothes again. (blah) But, it was definitely worth it. I think I needed a good night like that. Even if that Canadien hockey player does find me. 😉 I’ll definetely have to check it out again next time I’m here.
