After graduating from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign in May 2007, I packed my bags and moved to Munich two weeks later. With my Bachelors degree completed, I'm taking some time off working and living in Munich before moving on to Graduate school. I live in the Maxvorstadt area of Munich, near Universität and feel very much at home in this gorgeous city. I'm Mexican, Greek and Irish so I guess that means I have a spectacular sense of humor.

Protest Today at Marienplatz
Today there will be a protest at Marienplatz against the expensive public transportation tickets. It seems that the MVV (Munich's Public Transportation System) was in talks for the past two years with the universities to create a semester train ticket as the Technische Universität München is quite far, costing far above the amount that many university students pay in other cities. Apparently the MVV changed its mind and decided against creating a semester ticket for students, so the students are having a protest.
If you want to take a look, go on ahead as it won't be dangerous, it may just be a bit inconvenient if you plan on doing some shopping or so as it'll be even more crowded than usual.
