English Garden @ Munich, Germany

I would recommend for those coming to Munich to visit this English Garden. I visited this garden during summer time in 2013. The name is rather confusing for a garden which is located in Germany rather than in England. The landscape gardening of the garden is said to follow England style. The English Garten is really huge and you will appreciate walking between a little lake full of lovely ducks and a river where swans are elegantly swimming. Do make sure that you see the river surfers which is located at the south of the garden. The lovely garden is so much more than a garden. There is a lake, beer garden and small river in addition to the miles of walking/running paths. It is a wonderful place to spend some time enjoying the sites or just doing nothing but watching the people walk by. Make sure that you wear comfortable shoe as this garden is even larger than the New York Central Park!


Come, lets explore the garden.

You will enjoy watching all the action by city river surfers.

The wave created is strong.

Its river. Not sea.

Nice view and enjoyable.

There is also love locks in English Garden.

Ritter Sport & Milka chocolate from Germany

This is among my most favourite chocolate. In Malaysia, the price of these chocolate are really expensive. You can't get the alcoholic flavour as well. In Germany, it only selling at EUR1.00 which is about MYR4.20 for Ritter Sport 100g. But in Malaysia, it is selling at MYR9.90 at most places.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. The chocolate is great and not overly sweet. I like the raisin rum and praline the most).


Many flavours on display here: Clockwise from top left, raisin rum, praline, chocolate mousse, marzipan, hazelnut Milka & Ritter Sport whole hazelnut.

Cruel history of Dachau concentration camp @ Germany

Dachau concentration camp is one of Germany’s first concentration camps in a small town of Dachau near Munich. The first 5,000 prisoners were political enemies of the Nazi regime. social, ethnic, and racial enemies were imprisoned as Dachau went on to become the only concentration camp to remain active during the entire Third Reich period (1933-1945).


The infamous Arbeit macht frei ("Freedom through work"). This gate bear witness to a regime of systematised murder, torture, degradation and exploitation.

Reached the concentration camp. The entrance is free of charge.

Buy the Munchen XXL day pass to reach here. It cost EUR7.80.

Propaganda is such a strong weapon used by Nazi.

The prisoners bed. Three storey bed and they need to cramp with each other.

This is how they maintain the prisoner records.

Pityful condition of the toilet.

This must be huge sink.

Christ chapel.

Jewish memorial.

The fence and the drain was to prevent the prisoner from escape.

This is the crematorium used to burn dead bodies. Horrible!

This was how the dead bodies was burned.

Going into the gas chamber. Terrible!

This is the cruel gas chamber. Prisoners were tricked into this room then the door were shut tight. Poisonous gas was released to kill all the prisoners. The room even have the ventilator to clear the room after each killing and have the sewerage system to drain the liquid from bodies.

This is disinfectant room to clean the prisoners before transferred to gas chamber.

This picture shown how was the process being done during world war II.

Sculpture for remembrance. So sad.

Me with the scupture.

Swear "Never Again".
