Last Friday I did the biggest mistake of the year – I met a friend downtown, ONE DAY before the Oktoberfest started. That actually wasn’t my mistake. The mistake was that I took my bike. BIG mistake. Tourists everywhere! Mostly Americans. But also Asians, Indians, Italians etc. Yeah, the “Wiesn” started on Saturday. How I looo-hoooove this time – how I loooo-hooove Munich during that time. [/sarcasm]
I like the Oktoberfest, I like to go there, walk around, go on some rides, buy lots of candy, let the lover buy me a gingerbread heart (tradition), put on my Dirndl. I like going into a “Bierzelt” (beertent) with a bunch of people, sit and drink and dance. BUT I hate it that the Oktoberfest has turned into this huge “Let’s drink till we barf” festival. A few years ago it was normal to go to the Wiesn, let’s say, at noon time, go into a tent and have lunch. A nice yummy chicken and a liter of beer. Now – if you get to the Wiesn at noon, fine. But if you want to go into a tent at noon – too late. Unfortunatelly the morons are waiting infront of the tents since 7am, waiting for it to open at 10am (during the week) so that they can RUN to the tables and be drunk by 11am. Joy!
I’ve registered for Qigong, the course starts Thursday, October 4th. Can’t wait, Qigong sounds quite interesting and I wonder what it’s like. That’s what I need. Work is slow, I’m frustrated there, the relationship – it’s good, but not as perfect as usual, I’m bitchy. My soul didn’t have a good time the last few weeks so now the lover pushes me to do Sport and I registered for that course. I’m eating a lot of junk, but as of today my life will change. The lover and I went swimming today after work. It was exhausting, but good. After that we had a healthy dinner with a lot of veggies and healthy bread. I’m feeling good :o)

Oktoberfest sounds interesting – I love public festivities like that. The Gingerbread picture is really cute!
Hehehe my friend was in Germany the last couple weeks for Oktoberfest… I bet she was in that tourist crowd you were talking about. ❓

😀 maybe?
I actually wish we got more tourists here, I don’t mind the crowds and it’s always interesting to see the different people!
Hahaha, I just saw photos that my cousin took when she recently went. Yeah, she pretty much took on the same idea you hate — let’s get drunken crazy. Then again, she’s a college kid.. it’s not really a surprise.
While i was away at the cabin i seen a place that was decorated really cute and they had a huge sign saying “Oktoberfest Has Begun” i wish i would have stopped i bet it would have been fun! Drunk by 11am is a little pathetic where are peoples brains?! I want a gingerbread heart! You look adorable in that photo.
Oh gosh, Octoberfest again. Time to avoid the major haunts every weekend here!
I miss swimming 🙁 Hope you start feeling better soon, Humpay! Death to bitchy! 😛
And lol @ Christine. HEY! I get drunk at the randomest hours, yo!
