Oktoberfest 09

I’ve experienced nothing else that comes close to Oktoberfest.. It’s like a massive theme park with rides and kids stuff on one side, and about 10 beer tents (buildings) on the other side. I actually pictured more circus type tents with lots of grass.. but it was more like a massive plane hangers full of 1000s of Oktoberfestians. Some stereotypical things did happen… drunk annoying americans, drunk weird people, lots of cool drinking chants and plenty of lederhosen and dirndls.

I had 2 half chickens, 1 Maß (1L), 1 Radler, 2 Bretzeln and continued Swing dancing at Diana Temple in the Hofgarten without any problems.

Some photos below to give you an idea of what it’s like.

    1 litre Mass and no problems swing dancing? What was your dancing like? I heard Munich Oktoberfest incurred lots of drunken ozzies. So long as your partners still think your dancing is good then I suppose you’re okay.

    Only when my dancing was failing did I use the excuse “Ich bin auf dem Oktoberfest gewesen” but as we all know, my dancing doesn’t fail … much :-P

    hallo dan,

    Ich freut mich zu hören, das dein Deutsch gut bekommt. Gut auch das du ein Job gefindet hat. Ich freue mich auf deutsch mit dir zu reden wenn du wieder nach austrailien kommt.
