What can be better than spending your Sunday afternoon at a beach? The sand, the sun, the hot chicks playing volleyball…Well look no further than the Smart Beach Tour which has come to Munich for the weekend. The
Theresienwiese, better known as the location of the Oktoberfest, has been transformed into a sunkissed beach spot where international beach volleyball teams have come to strut their stuff. For 0€ you can spend your whole Sunday starting at 9am watching the best of Europe spike their way into the finals. With the men’s and women’s teams competing for a 20.000€ prize, you can imagine that the day will be filled with surprises, heartbreak felt by most, but victory will be tasted by few.
Going along with Munich’s summer theme of “We Love Active Summer”, this is the first of many summer competitions in order to promote healthy outdoor activities and the enjoyment of summer sports.
So get out your sunblock and head over to the Smart Beach Tour , unfortunately the website is in German. But above is all the information you need to have in order to make a fantastically informed decision!
0€, 9am, Theresienwiese.
See you there!

In the glorious weather we’ve been having (on and off) it’s not very tempting to head into a dark theatre at 7 o’clock in the evening, while the sun is shining outside.

Without doubt, Anne Frank is the most famous diarist of the 20th century. Had she lived, she would have been eighty today.
The diary was a present on her thirteenth birthday. The first entry reads, I hope I can confide in you as I have never done before in anyone, and that you will be my voice.

I am not quite sure how the idea of a coat of arms for Paris existing came to me or why I have missed it entirely up to this point. The symbol as I have discovered is everywhere – in places that I found myself all the time. And yet, it’s just recently that it has entered into my awareness....

One of the great joys of visiting markets like the Boqueria in Barcelona or the central market in Rabat, Morocco, is visiting the fishmongers’ section. All kinds of fish laid out gleaming wetly on the ice; squid oozing murkily, live crabs wiggling their mandibles, mounds of shellfish that clatter...

This week’s Reading Room installment is a series of books, none of which should be missed. Comically entertaining to the point of requiring one to laugh out loud no matter where you find yourself is the successful format used by author Stephen Clarke in his Year in the Merde.
