Wir gingen in die Wiese…
Last weekend I went to Munich, intentionally to do some real hiking in the alps before the summer is really over. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side and it was poring rain the whole weekend. So we decided not to go hiking but stayed in Munich with some of Christians friends from High School. It was nice, but hiking would have been nicer… But hey thats life.
Anyway the highlight of the trip was not the rainy weekend in Munich but the day before, where the sun was still shining and when I visited Tobias, a friend of mine who recently moved to Munich. I met him for a beer Thursday night when he was telling me that he just bought a Lederhosen to go to the “Wiesen” (Oktoberfest) the next day with his girlfriend who is originally from Bavaria. So he offered me to join them. And what should I say, it was fun. I was totally not dressed up and I felt like the only German speaking person without a Dirndl, especially because we where sitting with all these Bavarian and Austrian people at one table. But I guess this was, why it was fun! I drank a Mass, I ate a Händl and was standing on the benches singing awful German Folksongs… But with all these people around me and the beer in my hand it was fun. Even when it was 11am in the Morning
I guess I won’t do that again so soon and I really thank you, Tobias, for taking me there.
