Munich (aka Munchen) is famous for their OKTOBERFEST celebrations, but honestly the party continues ALL YEAR LONG. The great thing here is that everyone is FRIENDLY, and when I say everyone - even KIDS with the APPLE BEER are trying to get in on the conversation.
Every block has a beer garden, so you wait in line for your beer, find yourself a seat at the community tables and then 'PROST' the people next to you. This type of drinking provides major people watching too.
Since I was alone, my strategy was to single out the old guys in traditional German clothes as company. These old guys have the best stories, and I know if they get weird on me I could probably take them on, or at least out run them. Is that bad?

Not yet and I don't think I'll go to Oktoberfest, a bit too crazy for me :) As for your question in respect to 'choos' (cute writing!) is yes, it is very hip to use it. It is like Ciao in Italy and you can use it at the beginning or the end of a conversation. Have a great weekend as well! :)
Munich is beautiful. I found it to be one of the cutest German towns. I was there last about 4 years ago in the summer, so haven't had a chance to check out Octoberfest, even though it is on my list of things to do. :-)
I loved the Munich Beer Gardens they have such a nice atmosphere and I agree everyone is really friendly. I did the same as you and hung out with the oldies in their traditional clothes.
I'm so jealous! I love any Oktoberfest festival! Our HS German teacher used to tell us that it was okay that the kids over there drank b/c "they're not drinking to get drunk." Ha!
i'm so jealous! your time overseas is turning out to be quite the adventure!
I am just not a beer fan ... but that pretzel ... hello, come to mama :)

Good Beer, Giant Pretzels and great company. What more can a girl ask for? ;)
Oh my God I love Munich - and the beer, sunshine, and bretzels. I would love to go to Oktoberfest - I heard you have to RSVP a year before :(
Sounds like you had a blast and drank lots of the nectar of God!
I've not made it to Germany yet but hubby and I would LOVE to go to Oktoberfest - bring on the beers!!
