I have been researching a lot about Munich in the past months. I started thinking about how the economy, politics, the environment and such are. What I read is that Munich has the strongest economy when comparing to other German cities. Munich also can brag that it has the lowest unemployment rate: 5.6%! Since Germany is a lot like America (like I have said about a thousand times), there are a lot of the same jobs. I looked up employment in Munich and the website said that there are over fifty-thousand people employed in just research. It also said that Munich is Germany's "silicon valley." A silicon valley is all the high-tech businesses in a area. This also provides many jobs. On to government, Germany is a federal parliamentary republic. This has the power split between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. With a chancellor, head of government, and a president, head of state. German environment is a little different from the environment that I have experienced. Apparently, Germans live very "green." Their government has spent the past forty years trying to make new policies and such to make Germany "greener." In Munich there are a minimal number of cars and more bikes. This reduces the pollution that cars produce. On the line of being "green", I heard that German houses are very tidy and organized. I am not completely sure, I guess I will have to find out! If they are, I hope I can manage to do my best on cleaning and being green!!
