Oktoberfest (Munich)

Oktoberfest comes soon! It's the world famous and well-known beer fest in Germany. In fact, I had some beer crazy friends in Germany. They always drunk with sausages and potatoes. Naturally, they tended to be fat!

According to the Oktoberfest website, originally, this big festival started in 1810 for the marriage of Prince Ludwig. Then People in Munich was invited for the festivities, and enjoyed it. Now in 2012, it's the most famous beer fest in the world, and more than 5,000,000 people join it. This year is the 179th party for the beer funs.

They are not the real Oktoberfest scenes, but you can check a kind of crazy atmosphere in this movie.

"Beer Fest" (2006)

IMDB introduced about this, "Two brothers travel to Germany for Oktoberfest, only to stumble upon secret, centuries-old competition described as a "Fight Club" with beer games."

It's a funny stupid comedy movie. I watched this years ago. This has some unbelievable scenes. How to shot it? Some teams compete in the Oktoberfest and try to figure out themselves...? no... their instincts? or.. something like that :-)

I think "beer" is a miracle drink. When I can't eat my dinner, I rarely drink one can of beer instead of my meal. It's maybe a little strange, but it has vitamins, amino acids, carbohydrates etc. People call beer "liquid bread."However, don't drink too much!

"Is drinking a culture that everyone enjoys everywhere in the world?" In fact, the answer is NO. In Islam countries, liquors are strictly prohibited. In addition, they can't eat pork for the lesson. If you are not an Islam, you are happy to enjoy. For Islam people, possibly, Oktoberfest is a kind of hell. Also if you are in the Islam area, please take care of others when you drink. It's a manner of backpackers.
