Oktoberfest and Berlin

So far Germany has been a spectacular country. Every city has its little festival that manages to happen right when I arrive.

Oktoberfest was a mess. The girls are so beautiful and the guys dress to impress in their Bavarian traditional clothes. I don't know if it was the best time I've had thus far, but it was a riot.

I became friends with 3 wonderful Bavarian guys. Two of them were dressed up in their Oktoberfest gear and we talked about the natural beauty of Vancouver and Germany. They really want to go to Vancouver for snowboarding. I told them that everything they've heard is true. There are beavers, moose, and bears. Trees, lakes and mountains. Beer and parties.

And so we continued to drink our €8,30 beers.

I didn't have anything to eat that morning. I was in a hurried rush to make my way over to the beer tents. It turns out my body cannot handle 2litres of Bavarian beer on an empty stomach.

Nope. I had to expell some of that beer the same way it went in.

I nearly puked on my new Bavarian friends. Somehow I managed to spay a jet stream of beer out into the side walk.

So I told my friends that I had to take a walk and puke out more.

Out into the main straße I went but more steaming puke forced its way out of my stomach. It was a golden rocket spraying amongst a crowd of thousands.

But I didn't care. I needed to leave Munich anyways.

I said goodbye to my friends and headed to Berlin.


Berlin is ugly. This, inturn, makes Berlin beautiful. There is too much history here. You often forget what you are suppost to look at.

I was on the 'third Reich' walking tour and we were headed towards the ruins of the SS head office on Zimmer Straße and the Berlin Wall came out of nowhere. This starts a conflict for the tour. How can I keep the Soviet history seperated from Nazi history?

This city is too much for this history student.

I even got to see 60 year old bullet holes. Buildings that were part of the battle of Berlin. Amazing......

Adios from Berlin
