I have lived - and worked - in Munich a few years ago. I wanted to live outside the city, closer to nature and Alps. I had a car and gas paid by the company, so I got a good deal: a cute, but thoroughly modern and comfortable apartment over a barn in a typical Bavarian village, with great views and good access to Munich. At that time it was about $450 euro a month. A car there was a necessity, because it was about 7 miles to the nearest commuter train station. Several of my coworkers lived in apartments in that larger village, with commuter train, so they had no -heavy - expense of commuting by car.  Munich is very international, there are cinemas that show international films in original language version (otherwise in Germant everything is dubbed to German, which I find immensly annoying, even though I am fluent in German), be it Chinese, French, English, Polish or whatever. There are tons of clubs ( clubs for expats, too), pubs, etc. There is a large university and a large student population. Sightseeing opportunities - both in the city and its surroundings - are abundant.

I went to Munich for the Oktoberfest. its an impressive city
