Oktoberfest 2009

It was another GREAT weekend in Munich!

But before you get there, it is always question of "how". We usually like to take train since we can both relax and read, have coffee in restaurant car and so on. However, taking train to Munich during Oktoberfest is not always the best choice.



These drunk Swiss people were continuously singing and shouting as they were already in a tent. When you happen to be same wagon with these kind of people, 5 hours ride to Munich becomes nightmare.

Anyway, we survived.



This time, we stayed by Thomas, a friend of Odie. I see him like a cousin of Odie since they know each others for a long long time. Thomas cook fabulous.



Ohhhh this pasta was gorgeous. After experiencing hell in train, I jumped up to heaven. It was really delicous.



He was like a professional cook.


Since we took it easy on the first night of our arrival, we were in full power on the next day.



I explored the city, where my father used to live. I have some memory that I walked the city with him.
It was a beautiful day.



I love Victoria Markt.



Munich is great, even the city is locating inland, they have variety of fresh seafood!!



I had really nice lunch.

Our weekend of Octoberfest is little bit different from last year. Last year, we stand in a line in front of the test at 9 o'clock in the morning. I was so exhausted in early afternoon. This year, we enjoyed the city for a while and headed to Wiesen around 3 o'clock.

I think this is the best to start a party.





Thomas is also in Lederhose.



Odie bought me a Lebkuchen as usual...



with strange sentence as USUAL!!:) "My funny bunny".

He prefer finding these unique phrase than simply "ich liebe dich" and so.



Thanks to our friends who we met by wedding, we managed to get seats in this tent.



It was very kind of Anna and Christian. Without their kind offer, we could never find a seat.



As usual, it is sooooo amazing how many people are squeezed in a tent.



What great about the test is live music. If you just want to drink, there are seats outside as well where you don't have to reserve. But this live music is something encourage the atmosphere of Octoberfest.



Jumbo pretzel.



Traditional German food..



Beer, beer and beer...



Although I cannot drink beer, I enjoyed the fest year by year. It's because I getting know these "Octoberfest lied" better than before. I can slowly sing even with gesture! Indiana song is my favorite.



But later in the evening, more people get drunk. Sometime I had to dance with a stranger whom I even didn't want to.



and a German guy in my neighbor never allow me to toast with water glass anymore. Every time we toast, he forced me to take a beer. Ohhhh nooooooo.

I never stayed Otcoberfest so late. We stayed until the test close.



Thomas is half dutch and he is the strongest in alcohol. Even though he had lots of beer, he was sharp enough to shoot the targets:)



and I got many flowers! Thanks Thomas!

But afterward, Odie and I have been dragged to roller coaster. We were knocked out:) Roller Coaster after drinks..What a tough man..



On the next day, we had a beautiful Sunday brunch and nice walk in a garden. I'm sure people in Munich are happy to have such a wonderful, big garden in the middle of the city. We have visited Octoberfest twice in the past but I think this year was the best. We concentrated on the party from Saturday afternoon but the rest, we've just relaxed and enjoyed the city. Yes, Munich is the city worth to stay and hang out.



Although we were annoyed by drunk people in the train back to Zurich, sunset at Bodensee was beautiful as usual.
