Marienplutz

First, a note on Bavarian accents. When you get on the U-Bahn there are several stops with the name '---platz,' but in Bavaria, Platz = Plutz. Hence, the name of this post is the Bavarian version of 'Marienplatz.'
The good news is, I'm allowed to stay here now that I have successfully obtained residency permit and I don't have to go back to the KVR for a while (yay!). Also, the sun came out for the second time since I've been here and it's about 70 :)

The bad news is, I have to go apply for my German tax confirmation form, or, as they say in German, a Lohnsteuerersatzbeschienigung. Not kidding, that is the word for it. This means another fun-filled trip to a government building in the wee hours of the morning (ok, like 7:30 am, but for an MIT student, that is asking a lot).

In other news, my friend from MIT arrived yesterday and we went to a German restaurant in the Marienplatz to get some authentic German food and beer! I didn't get any pictures at the time, since it was cloudy and getting dark, but I plan to go back and make sure I get some good photos of the Rathaus.

Here I am with Rostbratwurst and Sauerkraut with a 'Radler'
