- This past weekend I took a 10 hour bus ride to Munich to attend the ever famous party of oktoberfest. The frist thing that was crazy was seeing the Germans. They are drunk on thier way to oktoberfest. They are dressed up in thier historic german outfits and chant thier way to oktoberfest. While there, the germans drink out of thier minds, they sing and dance and pound thier liters of beers. Their beer tents are packed with people. We waited for over an hour to get into the tent of haufbrahaus, but we never made it in. We decided to just find a table outside to get served. The germans at the table next to us tried to get us to sniff this white powder. One kid who was with us actually did without really knowing what it was...it turns out that it is this stuff they take to let you drink longer, it makes you sober and keeps you awake, and it clears your sinus'. Later on an older german was walking around selling the stuff, I wanted to buy it, but I chickened out. In the end, I drank 4 liters, I guess that is equivalent to 12 beers. Usually I am pretty well of on 5-so you could imagine the state I was in. So I partied hard with the germans in Munich for Oktoberfest, I'm sure it will be a while before I can come back. I'm glad I suffered the 20 hours of bussin' it there and back. Oh and I also gained an umbrella that I apparently found on a table at a beer tent.
learn some german: danke (dun-kuh) thank you
bitte (beet-uh) please
