mellody Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 this is a big event in munich every year, when the mayor of munich taps the first barrel of oktoberfest beer, and then says "O'zapft is!" - and i always watch it on tv. today they said on tv that there are several other oktoberfests around the world, smaller copies of the original one... anyone been to one of those, or to the original one here in munich? well, i'm off now to meet my friends at the oktoberfest... will be drunk for the next 2 weeks. ok, only at the weekends.

mariposa Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 (edited) Oh, gotta love this thread! The good old Oktoberfest! Thinking about finally going this year...but I actually don't own a Dirndl (typical Bavarian dress) Hmm, will try to sort sth out. here it is on youtube, the silliest songs with the silliest dance routines are always the funniest! cowboy & indianer fliegerlied http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqupr...eature=related lol, tbh I really love doing routines to these songs I mean, c'mon these are they type of songs that are played on a typical German "Dorfest/Schützenfest" etc. (and of course in the carnival season). Btw, just watched a report on tele about a woman trying to get in on of the beer tents no matter what...And all of her attempts turned out successful. I didn't know that so many guards were so currupt there. Oh and reservations for a table in one of the tents were sold for several thousand euros on ebay But I guess that there is a special thing about the Oktoberfest. While I was in Ireland all of my American/Japanese friends in Ireland went there. 'Cause if they were already in Europe they wanted to go there so bad. And no one regretted it Edited September 21, 2009 by mariposa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellody Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Have fun If you find a Lebkuchenherz with 'MIKA forever' or smth, go for it you can have them made... mariposa, if you wanna go, let me know, we can go together. could take one of my friends with us, she never wears a dirndl either as she doesn't like dresses.
