econd Home by The Alps... during my time working in Augsburg, I spent a lot of time in
Munich, either with my girlfriend, whom lived there; or with a number of
friends, some of whom lived in the city, or if not, just travelled in for a day
or night out. Basically I would spend the working week in Augsburg, and my free
weekends in Munich. I had some terrific times there, and some wild nights out
too. Hopefully we will see those day's again!
