City Celebration Shake Up | Oktoberfest 2019

foreword

I came to Matt City for a few days, and I saw this event by chance. I participated in the mentality of entering ww. Because I am in the rivers and lakes, various festivals, football matches, etc. are the only entertainment here, so I also took the opportunity to participate. Various activities. The annual Oktoberfest, Comic-Con, Ball Game and Christmas Market are certainly not to be missed. XD rummaged through the photos in his mobile phone and found that the Oktoberfest in Munich was the best thing to write about. Now that 2018 has been written, I won't repeat it. I only remember the day I went in 2018, the sky was so blue it was as bright as a fake.

Closer to home, in October 2019, it is the month when many Germans are carnival. Germans who already drink beer often, it is more logical to drink special drinks during this period. However, for Xiao Wu, who loves to watch the gossip of life (to put it bluntly, it is gossip), such a great opportunity cannot be missed! It was so much fun to go and watch drunk people behave. (Yes, this is the main purpose XD)

Regarding this festival, I will explain it myself, I will definitely not look for Wikipedia 🤣. The following definitions of the text are all from my German friends. If they are incorrect, please advise.

The Oktoberfest is actually called the October Festival. The English October Festival (German is Oktoberfest, most people in Munich can say wiesn, like slang), because the main purpose of this festival is to drink beer, so foreigners simply call it the Oktoberfest. Amazingly, this event doesn't necessarily take place in October, it usually starts at the end of September. I heard that it was originally a royal wedding, and the venue was not in Munich, but in neighboring Austria. That grand wedding was held for many days, and it has since become an annual event. But I don't know why it ended up being a designated program in Munich, or there are so many breweries here.

Each year the brewery also makes certain large quantities of beer, which are shipped to the event for sale. Again, that cask of beer is chosen to be the specific annual Oktoberfest beer. First off topic, Munich beer has strict regulations, beer pure brewing method. There are only three specified ingredients, namely water, hops and barley. The proportions of these three ingredients are different in different wineries, and the taste of the beer will also be affected by the wooden barrel of the beer. Xiao Wu himself likes this kind of pure beer, with no impurities and a refreshing and distinct malt taste. Even if the ingredients are the same, the products of each brewery are full of personality.

At the venue of the event, it is usually a large abandoned land for people to do sports, run, etc. As soon as two months before the festival, preparations are already in full swing. Passers-by can already see from a distance that workers are starting to build large tents, booths and mobile games of various wineries.

There will be different large tents at the entrance of the venue, and one tent can accommodate more than 1,000 people. Each tent also represents each brewery, where you can try their special beers.

According to my German friends, they say that each tent has their own character and different decorations. For example, HB Hofbräu will be full of tourists, especially American tourists, because they also have their tent restaurants in Las Vegas, so they are well-known in the United States. Another wine merchant, Hacker-Pschorr, will be visited by more international people. Their tent restaurant will hold several Italian themed days during the event, so there will be a lot of Italians gathering there. There is also a relatively small tent restaurant, which is mainly visited by rich people, mainly to greet the mayor of football stars, etc. The price of food is even more expensive for ordinary people. To enter, you must reserve a table. By luck. In addition, there is also a tent for children. There are some children's meals and children's game booths on the entrance, but admission is paid separately.

A German friend laughed and said that people sitting around the table usually last for 6 hours. After a few drinks, they may accidentally realize that there are people who have reserved a table in the expensive tent, and they can follow in. Then you must be super super. good luck.

Another big feature of the Oktoberfest is that there are all kinds of mobile games, new and old. The old ones are more than 80 years old, and I am amazed when I see them. I am also amazed why such old machines can still work, or this is the technology of the Germans.

This festival usually lasts for about two weeks, and I went there on the third day of the event. At dusk that day, I came to the Oktoberfest venue with a few friends. First of all, we chose a tent with more locals, because the two Americans who were traveling wanted to see how the locals played.

As soon as I stepped into the tent, I heard local traditional music, that is, some special local music to persuade people to drink. You can listen to this link and continue reading this article. The scene is exactly the feeling in the film, and the tent is more than three times larger than the one in the film. Many songs are also persuading wine, one cup after another.

Looking at the groups of people wearing traditional clothes, the mood is also excited. Men also usually wear suede shorts (Lederhose in German) with a checkered long-sleeved shirt and stockings. Women usually wear a skirt called Dirndl (I don't know what it's called in Chinese) with an open-chest shirt (because this vest-style skirt will squeeze the chest, and foreigners are mostly plump, so the scene is choppy. (◐‿◑) Xiao Wu also integrated into the local area. After wearing Dirndl, the photos will not be posted so as not to scare everyone .

Luckily, we found our seats quickly and each ordered a 1 liter beer, yes, 1 liter. This is a very normal amount for Germans, and my German colleagues even boasted to me that he drank 18 glasses of 1-liter beer at the Oktoberfest, and finally needed another colleague to escort him home, I just felt helpless. Also amazed at his belly capacity. After sitting for a while, everyone at the same table stood on the table and danced to the music, pulling us even more to stand up. At first we all stood up slowly and awkwardly, but with the rhythm of the music, everyone began to blend in with the nearby tablemates and toast each other.

After three rounds of drinking, we decided to leave and check out the nearby gaming facilities. It was past 9pm, but you could already see a lot of people getting drunk. Along the way, you can also see many people sleeping on the ground, vomiting, removing their shirts and removing their shirts, I was very happy to see them.

This event venue has a very famous grass, where drunk people will go to vomit, the locals call it the vomit grass. Ironically, in front of the grass is a large Statue of Liberty in Bavoronia, which is really free and unrestrained.

In the same scene, I saw someone take off their pants, probably wanting to urinate. Note that what was photographed is that his hands have covered important parts, and no private parts are exposed, so don't think about it.

I asked the Germans at the same venue what was the craziest thing they saw at the Oktoberfest. One of the friends said he once saw a young boy get drunk and get on the table to remove his pants and poop, and the guards chased him away. Oh my god, isn't this going to be a bit of a twist! (◎_◎;) Another friend also said that usually on the last day of the event, the subway station at night will be full of people sleeping everywhere, and almost every year there are news reports of drunk people climbing the tracks go to sleep. Well, I want to see it too 😂😂😂

In the end, our group decided to play a small roller coaster called Crazy Mouse, which I translated by myself haha (Wilde Maus in German). This roller coaster doesn't have a big slalom, but the speed is also very fast. When you go to the highest point, you can see the whole place. It's beautiful, but I'm afraid. I don't know why I was afraid of heights and sat on it, maybe I was a little drunk at the time. In addition, they have a very interesting mobile game. The whole house is about 3 stories high. The road is a conveyor belt in the opposite direction. When you go to certain positions, it will accelerate. It's a bit like walking on a treadmill. Usually you It's really funny to see a lot of drunk people fall on the conveyor belt after walking a few steps. We stopped and stood there watching for 10 minutes.

Before leaving, I bought apple candy to relieve my drunkenness. The slightly sweet taste is accompanied by the cool breeze, and the drunk is full of satisfaction.

If you have the opportunity to go to Germany in the future, I also recommend you to visit. For the detailed itinerary, you can read the article @ 安强lv run .

2020 and 2021 were also cancelled for the first time because of the epidemic. It seems that it will be resumed next year, let's think about it.
