If the u-bahn and I were keeping score, today would have been huge for it. Before getting on the train, I had to purchase my monthly pass (which went just fine), but as I was walking to the train I saw mine pulling into the station and with the possible strike happening, I did not want to miss it. So I ran and was able to catch it just in time. However, I quickly realized that the train I so eagerly ran to catch was in fact not the correct one. Therefore, I had to get off the train at the next stop (Maillingerstr) and walk to the other side completely embarrassed. Then after class I went to do some shopping at Kardstadt (one of the department stores in Munich) as Brad needed an ironing board desperately. I knew I would have to carry it on the train with me, so I decided to go to the one off the central station (Hauptbahnhof) as I would not need to do any transferring with the ironing board. After getting everything I needed, I headed downstairs to the U-bahn, but must have made a wrong turn because all of a sudden I was in the Karlsplatz station instead of Hauptbahnhof. Instead of going back upstairs and trying to figure out where the other one was, I went with it. And after only having to transfer once, I finally made it home with all of my purchases. Note to self, the Karlsplatz and Hauptbahnhof station are extremely close to each other and one wrong turn out of the mall will put you at the opposite one. After going to three markets (Rossmann – Walgreens equivalent, BioMart – Munich’s wholefoods and Edeka – safeway) I came home and made dinner for myself.
Off to watch a movie on our laptop, I cannot wait until our new 42-inch (107 cm) flat screen comes on Thursday!
