Well, I'm off to Munich for Oktoberfest.
As of Tuesday, that is. But I don't really DU on weekends, and Monday will be hectic, so I'm saying my goodbyes now.

Anybody been? Got any advice?

1. If'n yer gonna spell it Oktoberfest, then spell it München.
:harumph:

:silly:

Have fun!! Some day I hope to make it to Germany, to see the ancestral roots and enjoy some beers and, maybe, even go during Oktoberfest!

Enjoy!

:toast:

4. I will have to brave the Autobahn...
We're flying standby (got tickets via a friend that works for Delta. Super cheap, but you gotta go where there's openings), and the planes straight to Munich filled up, so we're flying into Stuttgart, then driving to Munich via the Autobahn. That should be, um, interesting.

3. I've done it twice
and it hurt as much as you think it did... I had to go back after the first time to make sure though. Have fun and whatever you do, don't drink any BEER!
:beer:

8. I don't speak a lick of German. But after googling your phrase...
thank you. I will.

I will arrive in Germany equipped with the phrase "Ein bier, bitte." I think that's all I'll need to know.

9. Be careful with the German beer. It comes in huge mugs and is way stronger

12. Enjoy
I live in Frankfurt :hi:

I never went to the Oktoberfest. Drinking that much beer just isn't my thing. I rather go to wine festivals :D

13. Beer, wine, liquor ... I'm pretty much up for anything.
Except gin. Bleechh.

And in any case, I'm more interested in the scene itself than the beer. I thrive on chaos. That said, I will nevertheless consume enough beer to fell an elephant. :crazy:

Just kidding! It's a business trip for me. Have fun! :party:
