Oktoberfest 2009 10/06/2009
I did some filming at d’Wiesn, the biggest beer fest in the world. This 12-day Bavarian beer binge is held annually in Munich, Germany. Millions scoop up gingerbread hearts for their beer-drenched lovers of the hour. Ich liebe Dich! Most sing and dance to canned American wedding songs as they topple off the table-tops. Folks gorge on Hendl (chicken), extra salty to increase thirst for more and MORE brew. Be warned: the women who haul the big jars of beer around are masochists who find pleasure in elbowing unsuspecting Oktoberfest virgins *such as myself* in the aisles. A nice substitute for the insanity of India. |
