Munich, Germany
Octoberfest: The moment I arrived in Munich, I knew there was going to be trouble.. Traveling with an Irish guy and an Australian guy, both looking for a good drunken beer fest.. Well we've found it. I have NEVER seen a party this big.. Oktoberfest consists of a huge carnival with rides of all kind and about 8 huge aircraft hanger sized beer tents. Inside there are between 6 and 8 thousand drunken people.. beer is served only in huge 1 liter mugs. On arriving we locked our bags at the station and decided not to get accomidation and head directly to the beer tents.
We partied hard in a tent with germans.. some tents are specifically for tourists etc. I ended up getting quite plastered after 5 or 6 mugs of frosty beers. I was mistaken for a german quite a few times, because I was wearing a tshirt with german on it. ich bin kikantsch .. I am giant.. haha. after the fest we headed to the train station looking for a warm place to curl up. got my tent and set that up on the floor outside the station and soon passed out, until I was awakened by a squad of police getting us to pack up.. after wandering the streets for awhile we were finally able to enter the station because it closes at night. so I found a nice piece of floor in the waiting room of the munich train station. and that was only day one... We got a pension the second night and got good and drunk.. last night i lost my friends and walked to my favorite place in munich. the train station and slept on the floor in the waiting room again. Yippee!! I woke up not knowing how i got there. so tonight I will see where I will end up.. hahaha Gotta go its beer time!!!
Prost (cheers in german)

Note: My older brother arrived 5 days later in Munich and just in time
because again I was running out of money.. We stayed in Munich and partied for 3 nights in the oktoberfest, I was there a total of 8 nights (all 8 were drinking nights), the beer was plenty and there wasnt a day when I drank less then 6 litres of beer (usually more) .. I drank more then 50 litres of beer last week.. not a bad little story.
