German is the primary language spoken here, but English is widely used, especially in academic and professional settings. I also regularly hear Greek, Arabic, Turkish, French and other languages, which reflects Munich’s diverse and international population.
Germany uses the euro, which has become part of my daily routines, from buying groceries at a Supermarkt to paying for public transportation.
A small bottle of water typically costs around one euro, though prices vary depending on location.
The best meal this week was a Bavarian-style sandwich I picked up after work. Made with fresh cheese, vegetables, ham and a soft pretzel-like bread roll, it was simple and satisfying. Meals like this highlight how everyday food here (especially bread!) is treated with care and attention.
