Munich is a nice city, very relaxed, at ease with itself and just a shade above Adelaide in terms of its city-ness, but good lord, there's a lot of Jehovah's Witnesses about.
I also managed to fill the day without doing very much; between getting photos unloaded onto CDs, and getting flights rerouted from Montreal to Toronto, it was noon before I started sightseeing.
Strolled around Marionplatz first, then had lunch in the park behind Neues Rathaus. Walked to Englischer Garten, where I saw some nude tennis - certainly a first, I imagine - and plenty of other nudes as well. The whole park is really carefree and fun, lots of bikes, rollerblades, unleashed dogs, and folks relaxing on the lawn (no "keep off the grass!"). Walked through another neighbouring park, passed by the Residenz (mostly hidden under scaffolding), failed to find a quirky museum, and that was it for sightseeing in Munich.
