Munich 2011

My first New Year in Munich, Germany. with its fluffy snow-falls.

ふわふわの雪が降る、ドイツ・ミュンヘンでの初めてのお正月。

Well done,  Mr. Santa.

サンタさん、お疲れさま。

Munich, the beautiful city of less cars. bicycle looks vibrant, even in the sno.

車の少ないミュンヘンは、自転車が映える綺麗な街。

We stayed in hotel Bayerischer Hof, where Michel Jackson and Beatles once stayed.

私たちが泊まったのは、かつてマイケル・ジャクソンやビートルズも

宿泊したという、バイエリッシャー・ホーフ。

the base of statue across the hotel has been pilgrimage site for the King of Pop.

向かいにある像の土台部分が、彼の巡礼の地となっていました。

it's a song for you.

"Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art-- 

Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night

And watching, with eternal lids apart,

Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,

The moving waters at their priestlike task

Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,

Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask

Of snow upon the mountains and the moors--

No--yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,

Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,

To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,

Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,

Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,

And so live ever--or else swoon to death. "

Bright Star, John Keats
