[ May, 2013 ] There is a large park in Munich whose name is Englischer Garten.
It is one of the biggest city centre parks in the world, larger than Hyde Park in London and Central Park in New York.
My guide book says ‘at the entrance of the park, you can see people surfing in the river’.
I thought it could not be true and went to have a look.
Yes, they were there surfing in the river.
Apparently they make waves using a pump and it is not for children.
It is said that there is a signpost saying ‘this is only for skillful surfers’.
Those ones I saw were all grown-ups and they were really serious.
