How to go to Munich?

It was on February 4th, 21, at 8 o'clock in the evening, and the plane landed at Munich airport. It was the first time in my life that I saw such heavy snow. I decided to wait at the railway station for the train leaving for the small town in East Germany at five o'clock the next morning because I couldn't bear to pay hundreds of marks a night in the hotel. At 1 o'clock in the morning, the train station began to rush people to lock the door, so I had to go back to the snowy road. Looking up at the temperature monitor on the street, it's 19 degrees below zero. I think it's warmer to exercise than to stay, so I've been walking on the streets that I'm unfamiliar with. The cold wind whistling in the ear, because the snow is too thick, some of it melts into water and seeps into the shoes, and the ice of the tide is very uncomfortable. I couldn't help laughing and felt like a little match girl. Passing by a 24-hour automatic bank by chance, I suddenly had a brainwave: it would be nice, warm and safe to stay there for a few hours. At that time, there was only one card of China Merchants Bank on me, and I scratched it in the magnetic stripe slot at the door with luck, and it actually opened! I dare not sleep in it, because there are sporadic people coming in to withdraw money in the middle of the night. At that time, I pretended to withdraw money from another machine and deliberately dawdled until that person left, only to feel relieved. When I left in the morning, a security guard just came to open the door, mistakenly thinking that I was a customer who came to withdraw money in the morning, and smiled and asked me good morning.

and when I returned to Munich again, it was already two years later, in March 23. At that time, all the courses and exams in the master's stage had been completed, leaving only the internship and graduation thesis. After successfully obtaining the three-month internship contract of the famous electronics company Infineon's Munich headquarters, I arrived at the main railway station in Munich at 7 o'clock in the morning by overnight train. I took the night train mainly because the contract stipulated that I should report to the company at 8 o'clock that morning, and I haven't found a suitable place to live in Munich. Infineon's contract clearly States that only accommodation subsidies will be paid, and the house will be found by itself. It is humane to attach a list of some housing agencies, through which you can find a house more conveniently.

Munich is the city with the highest wage income in Germany, and correspondingly, the living expenses are also the highest. In the urban area, a private house of about 2 square meters, including water and electricity (in Germany, this is called Warm rent) generally costs more than 3 euros per month. If you have stayed in Germany, you will know how difficult it is to find a house in a big city in Germany, especially for students who can't break a penny into two petals. Before I went to Munich, I was fully prepared and planned to stay in a youth hostel for a while. But I didn't expect that within two hours, I found a suitable place through Studentenwerk of Munich University. The owner, Mrs. Thurner, owns a three-story villa with four bedrooms and one living room, a yard and a large basement in Waldperlach district of Munich. She couldn't live alone, so she rented out two of them. Before I arrived in Munich, I heard many people talk about how arrogant Munich people are, and even other German Renye Fang looked down upon them, not to mention foreigners. I didn't expect Mrs. Thurner to be the best landlord I have ever met. (Author's Note: Studentenwerk, literally translated as the student union, is very different from the student union in domestic universities. In fact, Studentenwek is an autonomous institution in Germany, which is not affiliated to any university. It manages the dormitories and canteens of German universities, and coordinates with local transportation departments to solve a series of issues closely related to students' interests, such as free rides. In many cities in Germany, the supply of student dormitories is in short supply, so Studentenwerk sometimes undertakes the task of providing students with private room information. )

At that time, Mrs. Thurner was 59 years old, but she looked much younger than her actual age. Divorced for 2 years, there is a man, a woman and two children, who are also divorced and live nearby. When she introduced these, she smiled first and said, "Do you think this is like heredity? The divorce rate in Germany is very high now, but it was not like this when our parents were there. For example, my parents were born in the same small village and lived together for 62 years until their death! "

Mrs. p>Thurner is a very fashionable person. After work, she likes to have dinner and go clubbing with friends until midnight. She has a boyfriend, who seems to be over 6 years old, chubby and cute, and has repeatedly mentioned to me that he wants to go to China to eat snake meat. Mrs. Thurner keeps a dog, which is fat for nothing. When I first saw the dog, I thought it was a sheep. I always thought that Mrs. Thurner's dog looked like her boyfriend.

sometimes Mrs. Thurner comes back late at night and sees the light still on in my room. She will bring me a cake baked by herself for supper. Occasionally, I will make them some daily dishes from China. Although I am only the level of a three-legged cat, I also eat them well, which shows how flattering the level of German Chinese restaurants is.

When I left Munich after my internship and returned to Tate, Daams, I was really reluctant to part. Mrs. Thurner not only gave me a beautiful handmade souvenir as a souvenir, but also insisted on returning half a month's rent and told me to visit her next time I was in Munich.

The time in Munich was one of the most enjoyable years in my life. There is a bus from the company gate, which takes 45 minutes to reach the residence gate. Go out at 8 o'clock on weekdays, take a lunch break for two hours, get off work at 17 o'clock, or go around Munich, or go home and get something delicious and then take a walk in the nearby Woods. Sleep late on weekends or visit scenic spots near Munich. I also spent a whole afternoon looking for the automatic bank that took me in the past near the railway station, and there was no trace.

I believe that I have been to more German cities than 9% Germans, and Munich is one of my favorite cities. Although it is not a famous historical city, it has an inexplicable attraction to me. I like to walk through clean streets in sunny afternoons, and there are people sitting in twos and threes in roadside cafes or Biergarten (literally translated as beer garden, German open-air beer house), old and young, with smiles on their faces. Under the sun, it gives people a feeling of being carefree forever. Munich people are not as arrogant as many people have rumored, at least most of the people I meet are polite and friendly. Mrs. Thurner has a wonderful theory about this: we Munich people are a little exclusive, but this refers to Germans outside Munich, not foreigners.

sometimes Mrs. Thurner will go out for a long vacation for a week or two, and then I will be left alone in the whole villa. One night, I was lying on the living room sofa watching TV until I fell asleep in the middle of the night. When I woke up in the morning, I found that the sun was quietly shining into the window and shining on the beautiful small garden outside the window. I really didn't know if I was dreaming or had woken up.

The internship in Infineon is also a very pleasant experience. Infineon Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 1999, and its parent company is Siemens. Its semiconductor business was separated and formed an independent legal entity. Now Infineon has about 36, employees around the world. In fiscal year 24, the company's turnover reached 7.19 billion euros, making it one of the top 5 companies in the world and the fifth largest semiconductor company in the world. The main business is to provide advanced semiconductor products and complete system solutions for wired and wireless communication, automobile and industrial electronics, memory, computer security and chip card market.

Mr. Tideya Kella, the engineer in charge of taking me, is also known before, a smart, friendly and humorous Cameroonian. I remember the first day when I saw him, he was wearing a black leather jacket, wearing a beret askew and chewing gum. My first reaction was: the United States Marine Corps.

The task he assigned me is basically half of the workload that I can complete with all my efforts. The company is still flexible in the management of engineers, and can adjust the working hours according to their own needs every day on the premise of completing the assigned tasks. This is especially true for our interns. For example, today I am in good condition and can work continuously for 1 hours. Tomorrow I have something to leave early, or I can only work for 4 hours, as long as the working hours per week reach the 35 hours stipulated in the contract. On average, I have two days of paid leave every month, just like regular employees.

recently, I contacted some recruitment groups from China, and I found that a common misunderstanding is: if I pay you a high salary, you will bring me immediate results. In fact, this is unrealistic. Personally, I feel that German enterprises and even the whole country are machines that operate in a sound and coordinated manner. When taken apart, each component may not be the most outstanding, but it is absolutely qualified. When chatting with several Chinese engineers who have worked in Germany for many years, they once sighed with the same sigh. Companies like Siemens, Infineon and SAP will not be fatally hit even if one-third of their engineers resign at the same time. Recruit a group of qualified college graduates, and after a short training, they will return to normal immediately. It is rare for many domestic enterprises to rise overnight because of some people or things, and to die overnight because of some people or things. What we should learn is such an advanced system, and we should not pin our hopes on digging one or two cattle people.

In the future, Munich will be my first choice if possible. From Munich to Munich, I have been in this first circle for two years, and I don't know how many more years I will be in this second circle.

Marion Platz

Marion Platz is the center of the old city of Munich. Every morning at 1l, Marion Square must be crowded with tourists in order to see the performance of the Glockenspiel on the bell tower of the New Town Hall. The wall clock performance, built in 194, tells the story of a marquis's wedding in l568. The traditional Munich lunch here includes white sausage (Weisswurst) with sweet mustard sauce and Brezel bread (locally known as Brezn, a kind of knotted bread with fine salt on it). Author's Note: China students often call it eight-character bread, why?).

Neues Rathaus

The new town hall, which was built in 198 from 1867, is a neo-German style building. There is an active musical puppet performance on the bell tower, which is life-size. The performance time is 11: and 12: every day (except November 1st). Visitors can also take the elevator to the top of the tower, which is 85 meters high.

Fraukirche

This Goethe-style church * * * has two towers with a height of 98 meters and a height of 1 meters, which are similar to half an onion, and has become the symbol of the center of Munich.

Hofbruehaus

Go east from AlterHof and you can walk to a square called Platzl. This is also the favorite gathering place for tourists, perhaps second only to Marion Square! So some people call it Little Square. One of the reasons why it is popular with tourists here is the Royal Beer House.

The beer house has been popular since 1644, and it is still famous for its beer, dishes, tourists, authentic music, binge drinking atmosphere and Lederhosen worn by local people. The Royal Beer House is very famous. Compared with ordinary German restaurants, it is full of the feeling of southern generosity and enthusiasm because of the noisy and crowded people. It is said that Hitler launched a beer house riot here.

Olympic Park

This is the venue of the 1972 Olympic Games. The architectural design is very modern, and its main hall can accommodate 8, spectators (opening hours are from 9: to 16: 3, free access around the park, and the cost of visiting the stadium is about 1.5 yuan). (Author's Note: It is recommended to climb the TV tower in the park, so that you can not only get a panoramic view of Munich, but also see the huge BMW logo on the roof of the BMW headquarters next to it, and you can also see the Alps only a few hundred kilometers away from Munich when the weather is good)

BMW Museum

The headquarters of BMW is located next to the Olympic venue, and its museum is located next to it, which is very worth visiting. Visitors can better understand the development history and scientific and technological level of this famous automobile factory.

The content of the exhibition is very rich, including more than 3 items such as mining field exploration and starry world, which is dizzying. (The opening time is from 9: to 17: from Monday to Sunday, and the cost is about 6 euros)

(Author's note: I highly recommend it, and I have never seen such a fun museum. Unlike the Louvre and the British Museum, the Deutschland Museum is an interactive museum that shows you the history and present situation of all walks of life. I spent two weekends in it, but I still have a lot to say.)

Schloss Nymphenburg

Located at the northwest end of the city, it was built from 1664 to 1728.
