Munich

"So this is Munich. A place where you can have fun by drinking beer, playing football, driving with the BMW, playing with the Bayern Munich, love the Beckenbauer family, get rich with money, and finally, build a lot of airports. It's where Oktoberfest is held, and where a lot of Muslims work here. Could this war be so violent enough in here or what?"

--Su Ji-Hoon, 1972 Repeats Itself
