I had something that I wanted to do in Munich Airport since before the departure from Japan. It was to visit Airbräu, the brewery set up in Munich Airport and enjoy the beer just brewed, but I didn't want to go far away alone from the tour members at the same time. I was a transit passenger and wasn't permitted to go out of the airport. I'll do it next time. Munich, along with Frankfurt, has a direct flight from Japan and is very handy as the hub. I was sure to revisit the airport. While wandering in the airport, I found a stall that served Japanese ramen and I tried one. It was nice and a real Japanese ramen.
I'll show you two in-flight meals of ANA. They were delicious and I ordered some bottles of wine. How much wine did I drink during the trip? I enjoyed every one of them. This trip was really nice. The last but one picture was shot from my seat. Could you tell where it was? It is Khabarovsk in Russia and the Amur River, judging from its distinguishing terrain. Covered with snow, it looked cold below and the scenery reminded me of cruel Siberian detention by the USSR. I wondered how many innocent Japanese soldiers were buried around the area?
All of us came back to Japan without major problems. Every one of us enjoyed the travel in Germany and Italy. Thank you for everything we got, specially in Freiburg. I hope I will see people in Freiburg again next Spring in my hometown, Matsuyama City. I know some Freiburgites follow these trip memos. Feel free to write me about what you want to see or try in my city in advance. Spring is the best season to come to my city. Cherry blossoms as well as Matsuyama Citizens will welcome you!
