You might look at this site 'http://www.mvv-muenchen.de/en/home/fahrgastinformation/mvv-netz/networkAemaps/index.html'. It shows the S-bahn routes and stops and will show that it easy to get into the center of Munich from the airport. There is an English language guide which will give a lot of information on travelling around Munich. Other sites can give you more information on tours, etc. I lived in Munich for 20 months, so if you have any other questions I might be able to help. Just ask!
You picked a fortuitous time to visit Munich during the Oktoberfest, if you are there betwen 17Sep and 3Oct. The beer will the flowing (and unfortunately the rooms will probably be expensive.) The new Munich Airport (about 10 years now) is located a long way from the city, but there is a rail link from the airport. The surrounding area of the airport is quite rural, and the two small local towns are called Friesing and Erding. Many of the hotels serving the airport are in Freising; it's a quaint typical Bavarian town, 5 mins from the airport, not much more than a village as I remember. I stayed there about 10 years ago but can't remember the name of the hotel (it has probably changed hands by now anyway) but as I see, there are several including Marriott, Movenick etc. But it is VERY quiet, and as the rail link is about 20-30 mins I would still head for the city...
I will be soon making another trip to FSU. Business, of course, but also will spend lots of time with a lady or ladies, as the case may develop.
I have been to FSU over 20 times, and generally try to go through different cities so I can spend a couple of days sightseeing in a new place.
This trip, I found a good fare and connections through Munich and have already booked. I spend two nights and one full day there on return trip.
Anyone have advice on good prices and locations for hotel? I usually like to stay near airport so not too far away when comes time to catch next flight . . . . just to minimize problems with traffic, labor strikes, weather or who knows what.
And what about bus tours, etc.? I am not at all interested in the nightlife scene.
Me & my ex did ours in March. I believe it was like $120? They have a web page you can check. I did it at the american medical center. There is also one that is cheaper the oil something medical center. BOTH are approved for that. As a matter of fact they are the ONLY ones approved for that. Good luck man, hope you fare better than I did.
You do NOT want to go my route & your post DID remind me of my situation. Bad thing about mine was I married the wench (K3) instead of doing the K1. But well you seem to sound like you THINK you know what your doing. Good luck man.
Congrats on you seemingly successful marriage. You must know that it takes work each and every day, and a bit of luck. You are a bit nicer to our "rocket scientist" than me, but the message is the same...buyer beware.
The information on the current cost of the medical exam can be obtained from the US Embassy Kiev website, and at last look it cost $120. Since you have described yourself as a forward thinker, living "in the middle of nowhere", I would make sure that your potential fiance will be comfortable in that environment. I can give you many examples, FrankO being the most recent, where a RW comes to the USA and is living in a small town and is very unhappy. Since she is from Kharkov, Ukraine's second largest city, she may not be happy "in the middle of nowhere." Since you don't want to get burned again, I would strongly suggest you fully explore these issues. I also think your reaction to LP and the other posts is misplaced. While some may not be happily married, I have been happily married for over 4.5 years. Regardless of an individual poster's status, most are trying to make sure you don't end up like FrankO and others who spend a lot of time and money and end up with a failed marriage. In FrankO's case, he ignored repeated advice about his situation. This board can be an excellent source of advice if you are willing to utilize it and be willing to listen to constructive advice. The fact that several posters reacted in a similar manner to your premature inquiry on the medical exam -- a small blade of grass in this entire process -- should be a red flag for you to be careful. Even a rocket scientist like you can make a mistake, as the court experience you described readily attests.
...I don't want anyone to fail. But if they get what they ask for, what they deserve, reap what they sow, ect, you won't hear me crying. There is a big difference between that and "failing". For example look at europete's post above. No loss there.
And you're right about them not having any common sense beyond their brains. Do you know who Harry Daghlian and Louis Slotin were? I'll bet your pal Gene does. Now there's some examples of physicist genuis at work...
What the hell does applied physics have to do with "street smarts"? You are in another ballyard now, so your education or degree or book learning doesn't come into play, no matter how smart you think you are.
If things go south with your FSU squeeze, which court of law do you think she will use? You just may end up right back where you were.
Nobody here wants you to fail...just the opposite. Just use your head in your personal relationships like you would do with your work. But, somehow, regarding someone you have yet to meet, and already planning the wedding is a bit bizzare to anyone with an ounce of common sense. Get my drift?
Yes, I am very cautious, as I have been where you were, already having to buy half of my house back from someone who never put anything into it.
