In Munich, there were more tourists from all over the world than Germans. The streets were completely packed as we tried to get a peep of the parade. It was not even noon yet, and everybody was already out drinking at all the nearby pubs and restaurants. As tradition goes, right at noon, the first official beer barrel is tapped and the Oktoberfest celebration officially begins.
Similar to a huge state fair, we wandered though the streets of the fest. We couldnt get into any of the beer houses because they were sooo packed. (They only sell alcohol if you are seated within thier tables). But no worries, we saved our 10 euros/stein and went into the city instead for some beer and brats. I devoured the biggest sausage I could find.
Wandering through the city, alsomost everyone was dressed up in the traditional Bavarian outfits, the infamous Ledehosen and Dirndl.
In the middle of the Munich Square was a youth dance group, who blasted music throught the square and demonstrated thier break dancing skills to all the onlookers. They were really talented.
Leaving Munich on a night train to Venice, the station was filled with drunken tourists. I joined the two drunk Austrian men that were seated across from me, who were falling for every girl that passed by. "You so beauuu-teeful. You is a goddess" Albeit stumbling, they were really quite charming and helped carry bags of bricks for an the grandma sitting next to me.
