A new bakery just opened up on the corner of my street. This seems like a horrible idea to me. If there is one thing that Munich does not need another of it is most definitely a bakery. There is literally one on every corner (and at least 20 congregated at the central train station). Since 50% of small businesses fail within the first year and 95% fail within the first 5 years, you would think that opening up a bakery in a sea of bakeries would be a very bad idea. Although, the Germans (or Bavarians rather) do really love their bread. In their defense bread is much better here but still that is no excuse to eat it all day long. Why are these people not fatter? There is a word in German called Brotzeit which literally translates to bread time. That is right they love bread so much that they keep time by it, but in order to create a scale by which to measure you need two points, so they also have Abendbrot, this of course translates to evening bread.
The moral of the story is that Germans really love their bread.
