Ich liebe München

Based on my one week stay in Garching and one day visit to Munich, it looks like a very livable place. I was out running, which I didn't do for weeks and I was thinking how does this place compare to other cities I lived in. Some points:
  • cheap and good food (in Hungarian manners), 
  • cheap and good beer,
  • good but pricey public transportation
  • excellent bike system
  • homey weather (sorry Göteborg, but your weather sucks)
  • nice people and beautiful girls
  • the Alps is only two hours by car or train
  • non-English speaking county (this is actually a negative point, because I don't speak any German), although most people speak English
It looks like for me that this city is just in the middle of the very western european cities and Budapest, combining mostly the good stuff of them, like the good food from east and the organized city from west.
