Today I enjoyed a totally non-working day with Franz walking through the halls of the International Handwerk Convention here in Munich, and got some cool movies and photos to share. Germany is known for its precision machinery, and quite a bit was on display. In addition, it had the usual assortment of household cleaning knick-knacks, hot tubs, and magnetic water purifiers that seem to show up at any home show.

There was also quite a large garden show in conjunction with the fair, with a good showing of fountains and plants and garden accessories.

My favorite, however, was seeing machines like the metal-cutting laser in action. There was some fun entertainment, and typical German modern art which walked the fine line between abstract and baffling

Afterwards, we had a good Thai dinner, & went for a beer.
