Oktoberfest!

Oktoberfest 1.  Christine 0.  I finally made it to Oktoberfest!  Yes, it is an amazing experience.  Totally what I expected.  Almost.  The bier tents look like airplane hangers.  That big.  They kinda put the Stuttgart Volksfest ones to shame.  But otherwise, it is generally the same as Volksfest.  Lots of carnival rides.  Great Deutsch food.  And lots of bier.

Chewy and I went for one evening and two days to Munchen (Munich).  That was plenty.  I drank 4 mass (liters) of bier at one sitting.  In addition to eating my half fest chicken.  I decided that I earned a bier mass for that.  We didn't have tickets so we sat outside in the bier garden to drink a bit.  There we made some lovely German friends.  And we sang and prost (toasted biers) and had a grand time.  I would say you should definitely visit Oktoberfest at least once in your lifetime.

I read a couple articles that said Munchen folks would police the bier pouring.  Bier is suppose to be poured to the line (1 liter).  Um, fail Munchen at the Augusuliner Bier tent.  Not impressed.

But Spaten did much better.
