OKTOBERFEST... One more time!!

So, we survived Oktoberfest, though I don't know how!

Yesterday, Jenna and I decided to do a little (emphasis on little) sight-seeing. It consisted of getting off the subway at a stop (Odeonsplatz) and walking to the next stop (Marienplatz). We passed a couple famous brew houses, the once-royal palace, a Starbucks which we got drinks at (thank you globalization!) and a very angry German man yelling and flicking off a slightly enraged driver!

At that point, we figured we had seen enough and that the only logical thing to do would be continue to Oktoberfest and start drinking.. So that's exactly what we did.

We got to our normal tent (Haufbrauhaus - on left) and found my favorite waitress (Tina). We ended up at a table with 6 guys from Munich on our end of the table. They were all flight attendants, so they spoke english which was nice. I finally found out what the story of my favorite German drinking song is.

It's a song about how they thought they were going to win the world cup in 2006, but now they know they are going to win in 2010.

But everytime that came on in the beer tent, everyone went crazy singing it! It was as if Sweet Caroline came on in a Boston bar..

We had a great time, drinking, making new friends from all over the world, and singing tons of songs. Needless to say, time flys when you're having fun.. Before we knew it, it was 9:30. Jenna and I both left so we could try and find my friends who were supposed to meet us there, but had no luck.

One good thing that came out of last night, was the fact that Jenna and I somehow managed to get 3 more 1-liter drinking mugs out of the tent. All together, we made it out with 5!!

Now we are packing our things up and getting ready to check out of this beautiful hotel. Today's destination: Essen, Germany

Until later, Pröst!
