And when you'll meet English-speaking fellow fans, you will be telling them about BayernForum

Still no friendlies scheduled for the winter break except for the 16th January one against Karlsruhe which was announced quite some time ago. [source]

Still nothing announced. In previous years, Bayern played friendlies in Qatar, then travelled to at least one other country before heading back to Germany and playing another friendly.

In 2012, Bayern played Al-Sailiya Sport Club, Al Ahly SC and U19 ASPIRE Academy before travelling to New Delhi and facing India.
In 2013, Bayern played Lekhwiya SC and FC Schalke 04 before travelling to Switzerland and facing Basel.
In 2014, despite participating in the Club World Cup days earlier, Bayern played Al-Merrikh Sporting Club before travelling to Kuwait and Austria to face Kuwait Sporting Club and FC Red Bull Salzburg respectively.
In 2015, Bayern played Qatar Stars League XI before travelling to Saudi Arabia and facing Al-Hilal Saudi Football Club.

So far, we have only one friendly announced, after the training camp finishes.

Almost every football club is an Ancelotti's ex-team: Juventus, Milan, Chelsea, PSG, Madrid

Euro 2016 ends July 10th, Copa America 2016 ends June 26th, so these games are scheduled over a month later for most players competing with their national teams.

For the last 10+ years each summer all top European Teams except Bayern toured the USA. Bayern focused heavily in Asia that if you look at it is a longer travel and has a smaller economic impact. I do not see the downside of it.

Correction: the matches against AC Milan and Inter Milan are also part of the International Champions Cup.
