Hello ,
My name is Philipp and I am 26 years old . I come from Munich . Munich is a city in the south of Germany . I studied Education , Psychology and Sociology at the university in Munich . I speak four languages : German , English , French and Spanish . I am going to work at the CENSA institute for 4 months .
In the following text I would like to tell you something about the city I come from , about its culture and about life in this city .
For a lot of people Munich is associated with two things : Beer and the football team of Bayern Munich . And even though beer is a big part of the ( culinary ) culture of the city and Bayern Munich is very popular , there is much more interesting to discover in the city of Munich .
