Oktoberfest

I'm writing this post from Berlin and still have a slight head ache, back ache, stomach ache and other aches from what is the biggest and craziest party in the entire world. Let's begin...

I'm travelling with my buddy Ed from the Berlin program and we just arrived to Munich from Paris. I've heard about Oktoberfest and the 6 million people that pack a crowded square to get shit faced, but i never imagined the magnitude of the entire thing. Imagine 14 tents lined up along a square that stretches 6 blocks. Each tent can hold 6,000 people, and the only way to get into a tent is to line up at 830 in the morning.

So Ed and I line up for some random tent that had a bull and a woman on the front, we heard a lot of german speakers around so we need we hit the local favorite. 9 am comes around and one little, tiny door opens up. Immediatly all you can hear are screams and maddness. The line compresses and I am litterally crushed by thousands of people trying to enter a tent through one small door.

We slowly inch our way into the tent and somehow find 2 seats next to some aussies. The beer doesn't flow until 12 and when the keg was tapped waitress upon waitress rushed out holding 12 beers each.

Long story short, 2 and a half liters of beer later and im gone. I remember the dancing on the tables, singing the same 3 german songs, broken steins and big ass pretzels. I then dont remember anything and somehow time travelled to 7 pm, outside walking around the massive carnival.

I apparently did some things that I dont remember but have pictures of it, so once i get my computer running i will post pics. Oktoberfest is everything you hear and then some, and next time I go I hope I remember more.
