Volksfest

Oktoberfest in München wasn´t the only beer festival during October. We actually had our own which started a week after Oktoberfest. Although it wasn´t as well known, it was a bit better because the prices were a little better and it wasn´t nearly as touristy. Each tent was pretty impressive. They were all full of people all the time, with four taps running non-stop but still not going fast enough for the crowd at our favorite tent. Probably the most notable thing besides the good beer at a good price was the music. You would think that when you go to a German beer festival that you´d hear mainly German music, even folk music.
Besides the famous german
Ein Prosit, Ein Prosit, Gemütlichkeit song, there were few german songs.
I can´t tell you how many times the YMCA song played, or for that matter the "It´s Raining Men" song. It was pretty funny because everyone was really getting into those songs, and they really had no idea what was going on. Probably 80% of the songs were American, and some other ones like DJ Ötzi´s Hey Baby, wasn`t American but it was in English. Oh well, at least we knew what they were saying.

So in the end, I probably went to the 2 week Volksfest around 7 or 8 times. Definately feels like there is nothing to do once that is over. Oh well.
