Just got back from the first night of Munich Oktoberfest, I have to say that it was beyond anything I could have imagined, a few thousand Germans packed tightly into a beerhall with a big band playing ACDC and Brian Adams numbers for the singalong. - Weird or what. Absolutely great food (Half a chicken or a pork knuckle - Schweinhackse) - no room for dainty dishes here!! or vegetarianism either. We ate at the Weisse Brau house [please excuse lousy spellings] in Munich center, like most of these places if pork is not your thing then you were a bit stuffed! Ratskeller was also very good - except for the huge police presence for a prre election rally! All in all, Munich would be a great city to visit at any time, the Oktoberfest, well, I'll put it down as one of the things that everybody should do once in their lives before they die!
