The reason for my long and total absence conjures one full sentence “I’ve been biking in Munich.” Literally. I’ve been biking up and down for days of sightseeing, eating, shopping, and mostly going into quite secluded neighborhoods and into small and “only-locals-know-about” shops. Because that’s what I prefer to do when I travel. I like to act and do everything like a local. I first walked around and sensed the environment. It didn’t take me long to realize that Germans have everything figured out when it comes to sustainable living.   Munich has more bikes on bike-paths taking you everywhere in the city, than cars driving on the streets. God, New Yorkers would be happy to have at least half of those bike-paths.
