In the grocery store one can find some interesting fruits and vegetables. For example “cape gooseberries” (they look like orange colored cherries Link) or “star fruit”. There is a second kind of celery that is very popular here. It isn’t the green stalk kind but a brown, round root about the size of a baseball. It is white inside and tastes somewhat similar to green celery.
The public transportation system is based on the honor system. You normally don’t have to show anyone your ticket. Instead, they randomly check buses, subways, and trams. If you are riding “black” (without a ticket) you pay a fine of 40 euros. The nice thing about this system is the boarding time is shorter because no one is checking tickets. In Munich, the same ticket is valid on all lines - buses, subways, and trams. Fare prices are calculated by concentric rings (like most big cities)
