Bavaria is my spiritual second home. If I could emigrate, this
is where I'd go to. I fell in love with Upper Bavaria in 1976 when
I was lucky enough to spend three months in the Sixth Form of a German
Grammar School. I had a superb three month spell in Trostberg,
meeting wonderful, friendly people in a beautiful area.
Later on (1979-80)I was priveleged to spend a year working as a Foreign
Language Assistant in Burghausen.
I divided my time between the Aventinus
Gymnasium (Grammar School) and the Kurfürst
Maximilian Gymnasium. Burghausen is a beautiful town on the Austrian
border and is famous for its long and elegant castle
I had a super year there - I love the people, the countryside, the food
and the beer - well you've all heard of the Oktoberfest, haven't you?
Whilst in Bavaria I met nothing but friendship and hospitality. I
made loads of friends, some of whom are now more family than friends.
