So some days when I don't want to be stuck in an underground tube, waiting for it to cave in on us all and bury us alive, I take the tram. This also means I can try a different flavor of doughnut from the bakery near the tram stop during the lead up to Fasching (carnival to you). You can see the bakery--it's the red building--in the picture. You can also see the screen that tells you when the tram will come.
I also like that if you run in front of the tram it will stop for you. (Although the subway drivers will often wait if they see you running down the stairs to catch the subway. Gotta love friendly Munich). You can also look out of the windows and see fun sights, such as the amazing mustaches sported by older Bavarian men. (I am going to do a photo series of these soon).
What is less pleasant: (Yes Kate another list)
1. The fact that old ladies glare at you until you let them sit down. Even if they are only going one stop.
2. Having my hair ripped out when an older man decided he needed to stand directly in front of me and hold onto the two bars on either side of me and pulled my hair that was next to one of these bars as he would sway with the turns. [Maybe I need to draw a diagram]
3. Youths (Although hearing German kids do impressions of Italians was pretty priceless.)
4. Although everyone brings their dog on the tram, just watch out if you try to pet it. You will instantly have someone screaming at you
