best place 4 farewell party (abschiedsfeier) in munich? airport brewery ;-)

well, our eldest daughter moved for an internship to kuala lumpur / malaysia  for seven months, we will miss her sooooo much ...

anyway, the small familiar farawell party took place at a very funny place, the world's only airport brewery, the airbräu at munich's airport. so, munich is not only the home city of oktoberfest + hofbräuhaus, munich also has an airport brewery? what a lovely BEER CITY, wouldn't you say?

airports are usually infamous for overpriced food + drinks + souvenirs and bad bad bad currency exchange rates, aren't they? not so in munich! there is a grocery chain 'edeka' which sells its products for almost usual city prices and there is AIRBRÄU, the brewery restaurant :-). folks, a 0.5 liter fresh brewed beer for 2.40 €uros? it's insane, that's the cheapest beer i got in regular pubs in munich for years, even cheaper than at the #OccupyMunich meeting place One World House where a beer costs only 2.80 euros. only in some 'illegal' student run bars and not registered semi-private event locations or stolen is cheaper, believe me :-). you have to pay above 3 €uros for beer in munich, in my dear trader's treff hilton hotel it costs 4,50 and at oktoberfest 10 €uros (at oktoberfest you should get 1 liter beer for that price, but at a looong evening you probably get only 0.8 liter in an 1 liter glass, my dear ;-)

btw, the remaining stuff @ airbräu costs the usual restaurant prices and of course don't change any money at munich's airport. and yes. there is one more nice issue regarding airbräu, my dears. any ideas out there? no? c'mon, try again .... folks, u can actually park for free @ the very very central airport parking garage 'P20' => a damn good place 2 be, u know?

just in case u gonna visit munich for the very 1st time, don't start your 'sightseeing' at the airport brewery by drinking toooooo much beer, u could miss the rest of munich completely ;-)

few more farewell pics? here we go. btw, my youngest daughter censored the selection, so all 'people' pictures are gone ;-()

GOOD LUCK, MONI, GOOD LUCK 

stupid €uro-peans, indeed ;-(

why are we europe-ans that stuuuuupid? why dont we (as a group) have own judgement, values, brave hearts etc? why do we always track what has asia, AMERICA, ... done before we decide? why the hell do we 'need' the american rating agencies, FED, government, USD and all other 'imports' to direct our way? why are especially we germans that stupid that we finance the whole 'old' continent without exerting any control / influence or at least set some rules in case future 'support' aka money is needed? why are we afraid to lead?

even in the stock market we dont have our own opinion, just look what happend to the german dax-index when the us market opened low (DAX vs. DJIA):

poor €uro, poor europe, indeed ;-(. well, i was prolly right in my former blog post, wasnt i?

why the hell are we €uro-peans that fearful + stupid? is it abt our genes?

btw, do u know that vaclav klaus is a member of the mont pelerin society?

few funny quotes of vaclav klaus?

• brussels is the new moscow :-)
• difference between socialism and capitalism? in socialism are companies nationalized and then they go bankrupt. in capitalism go the companies bankrupt 1st and are nationalized afterwards ... so true! just remember the 'rescue' of the bankrupt financial sector with taxpayers money in 2008, 2009, 2010, ...

UNITED STATES of EUROPE

addendum may 2014: friends, forget my dream below ... as for now, the western europe turned fascist as its leading institutions like EC / NATO, its leading countries germany, france, poland ... supports the fascism in ukraine (the fascist temporary and unelected government in kiev led by the svoboda / swoboda party) ... the EC, what a peace nobel prize winner, almost as good as obama few years earlier :-( ... well, at least the femen activists protest against that european fascist epidemic ...

UNITED STATES of EUROPE

no? not yet? WHY NOT?

hi folks, there was/is a great discussion abt why is €uro/europe not the leader in the financial markets, kylefoley76's original question was: "if the us and the euro's economies are equally strong then why is it that the dollar seems to dictate the price ... i might be wrong but it seems that the dollar dictates the price in eur/usd ... why?"

----------------

my opinion? because europe is just europe and not UNITED STATES of EUROPE yet ... it is as easy as that!

just imagine an european soccer team of 11 guys fighting against each other instead of fighting against their competitors! which competitors/enemies could such an european team defeat? well, you are right, NONE :o(

we europeans are so brain dead and so fearful, you know? ... it is as easy and as sad as that :-(. hell, i hope at least our children will be smarter than we are!

ps: just imagine an united €urope with all that western, northern, mid, southern and eastern (with russia, of course!) countries, with all that industry, oil, gas, commodities, education, culture ... and of course, i'm thinking about an europe created bottom-up by the people and not by any bureaucrats, governments, powers that be, 'elites', fat cats style NWO, central banks aka financial mafia and the like :-)

well, let's hope again that at least our children will be smarter than we are :-)

addendum 09.05.2010:

folks, what abt the 'rescue' fund for weak european states like greece? is it a real help for greece? i dont think so. why? a real help for greece would be e.g. the reduction of its debts (i.e. a default or a partial default of greek bonds. what abt 80% of the nominal values?) or the like ...

so what does such a rescue fund mean? well, 1st of all, greece becomes money to pay its creditors ... once again ... greece becomes money to pay the current (double digit?) interest rates to its creditors ... and the creditors (mostly european + u.s. banks and worldwide operating hedge funds, pension funds etc) becomes 'their' nominals and 'their' crazy interest rates paid in full ...

will it help greece 2 restructure its public spending orgy and 2 become competitive again? will it help the greek people? any opinion out there?

last but not least, who is gonna pay 4 that rescue package? we can read in the mainstream media that this package will be 'carried' by germany, france, austria ... folks, there is a small problem out there! germany, france, austria ... do not have any money to lend. they need themselves (every day!) new credits to continue their current operations ... they have to borrow the money they will lend 2 PIGS and PIIGS (portugal, irland, italy, greece, spain).

well, once again have our so genial politicians managed to take the money from the main street (~taxpayers like me) and give it to wall street (~banks, insurances, hedge funds, ...)

OMG, why is homo sapiens that stupid?

my dear gold/silver standard, pls pls pls come back to planet earth soon and end all that fiat money malinvestments and unfairness ...

anyway, folks, take care and do not invest in government bonds :-)

addendum 10.05.2010:
unfortunately, my opinion was right :-(

folks, mr. market shares my opinion abt the outcome of the 'greece issue' on the weekend, just look at the top 3 german stocks 2day morning:

deutsche bank +11.90%
commerzbank +9.13%
allianz +7.86%

btw, im not against gains for financial institutes in general, im just against taxpayer financed gains for politicians' buddies, of course ...

what a great day 2day! of course, especially 4 the banks, not at all for the taxpayer :o(

S&P500 +4.40%
dax +5.30%
nasdaq100 +5.04%

btw, the deutsche bank stayed the best stock in germany's dax for the whole day. closing quote? +12.86% => no additional comments needed :-(
