October I had the pleasure of visiting an old American Apparel friend studying in Munich and obviously we went to the Oktoberfest! A fellow assistant and I went on a brutal 8 hour car ride from Lyon through Switzerland all the way to Germany. Lots of country side, farm animals and a bit of mountain. I definitely loved Germany, it feels a little more parallel to Canada compared to France. Also, the guys are taller and more attractive.
We woke up at 8am in order to get a place inside one of the tents. You're basically sitting in a giant tent paying 11 euros for giant mugs of beer while the band plays old german songs and strangely popular american songs (ex. sweet home alabama). Our german friends made sure we were drinking strategically sipping slowly so we could last the whole day. Unfortunately for the table full of French people behind us, who we'rent strategic, had passed out by 11:00am.
The traditional thing to eat is 'kendle' which is a half chicken, of course there was sausage and sauerkraut on.
Me and Audrey in our dirndl dresses we rented from her landlord.
We stayed at the festival until 4pm afterwhich we left and had dinner. I had a great time laughing and speaking to many germans and foreigners from around the world.
