That first summer, we finally found a place we could go that was close to the school during our hour and a half lunch break. Nearby there was a cheap pizzeria that we could get small ones for about 2 Euro, and we found some cheap beer in around the corner for about 0,70 Euro. Once we had these things, in the heat of the summer, we'd exit the station and head up to the Platz proper which had a fountain. We didn't know it at the time, but it was a pretty good price for Erdinger from a Convenience store. All we knew was it was pretty cheap and for a couple Euro we could enjoy ourselves.

OFF WITH THE SHOES!

During the heat, this was the best way to stay cool. We'd hangout at lunch or after class was over and sit with our feet in the fountain drinking beers and being silly. The gardens appealed to the girls and the boys had beer. We were content. It was a nice relaxing way to beat the heat. All the businesses and people in the area were super friendly. It was an extremely friendly area. They even had their own old telephone booth that had been converted into a "Public" library of sorts. You could take a book and drop off a book. No one was there to monitor it. It was based on the trust system. There were always plenty of books.

This was the place that I first hung out with some people I would later meet up with at Oktoberfest in München totally unplanned. That was quite an amusing experience and totally unexpected. But that's a story for another time. And what a story.
