    I think there are to places that are wordwide known about Munich, it is the Hofbräuhaus and the Oktoberfest...well, so...in other words all around B E E R.
    Munich has surely a lot more to offer, but this shouldn´t be forgotten here to mention, of course. Look at the t-logue
    to get some few impressions of this HUGE funfair.

  • The Oktoberfest. I know my intro says Munich is more than that and it is but come on, how could I not go? I went in 1987 during my first European trip and was in awe. Part agricultural fair-part drunken feast. Music, rides, traditional costume and most importantly, beer. How could anyone not like this? I arrived early in the morning on an overnight train and partied for a few hours then retreated to a grassy area to nap. One vivid memory I have is some man waking me up from my nap to ask me if I wanted a beer. Excuse me!! I was sleeping!!! Anyway, told him to get lost and went back to enjoying the festival. Later on in the evening, I hopped on an overnight train right out of there. No worries about accomodations that way...

    Go to the Oktoberfest, which is the most important Festival of Munich of the year. It starts in the last weeks of September and it ends the first of October. And, by god, you have to take a bier! :)

    Visit the Oktoberfest! The Munich Oktoberfest - known by the locals as the 'Wiesn' - is the biggest public festival in the world and will be held in 2001 for the 168th time. Each year, the Oktoberfest is attended by around 6 million visitors, who drink around 5 million liters of beer and consume over 200,000 pairs of pork sausages - mostly in the 'beer tents' put up by the traditional Munich breweries.

    inside a beer tent at Oktoberfest . There were several different tents. It was so much fun...the Oompah bands would play and for certain songs...the crowd went wild!

    I have a few. I had fun dancing with a group of Italians. I also had fun hanging out with some people from Belgium...there was a definate language barrier....but we managed to have a blast and they didn't want us to leave. Another fond memory was when a fellow New Yorker I met there bought me a rose.It was very sweet.
