Munchen Oktoberfest

Hey folks.... xt is lazy again, refusing to blog.... that's why it's me again. At 1st he said that he doesn't wanna blog about our trips, and that he only wants to blog nonsensical. So I said ok, post something nonsensical then.... He gave up and juz said that he wants to download anime... haha...

This was the trip that we have been looking forward to when we left Singapore. The greatest beer festival in the world... it proved to be as mad as we imagined it to be!! Beer, beer & more beer... it is the 1st time I've seen so many people gulp down so much of it. The average guy drinks about 4-5 mugs per day, while the girls probably 2-3 mugs. No mean feat considering that they are 1 litre mugs, and have a higher alcohol content than normal beers (8% to the normal of 4-5%). On both days, I would feel tipsy/red after the 1st mug, high after the 2nd, bloated after the 3rd, and would be puking on my 4th... haha.


our 1st beers there... Lowenbrau.


look at how happy a beer can make you... haha


our 2nd at the renown Paulaner....


after 2 beers, xt could not see proper or aim straight... the tin cans were at most 2m away... he threw with all his might, and totally missed everything... haha... it was hilarious!!..

We were so high after 2 beers, we decided to go back to the hostel for a siesta... and continue in the evening...


feeling lovey dovey here.... for some reason, xt always doesn't remember the walk back to the hostel, so he doesn't remember taking this shot... haha..


After a nice 3 hr nap, we were back at the party. This festival is not just about beer.... it is also a fun fair & food festival combined... and they really all go hand in hand... the games & rides are more fun when you are high... and you get hungry after drinking too much beer...


before we started drinking again, we decided to try this massive ride that turns you round 100m into the air... freaking kick ass!! Highly recommended for drunkards....


how could we miss the pork knuckles.... deliciousss...


many germans bought this heart shaped biscuit and hung it around their neck... looked kinda silly... haha...

The beer tents were huge football field size, 1 or 2 tents for each beer brand... but even so, it was virtually impossible to get a table in the evening if you came late. If you were indeed late, you would just have to try table crashing with someone... we were lucky to be able to do so on both days. Inside the tent, everyone will be dancing on the benches to the music being played by a large live band situated in the middle. There are no Wala Wala act cool kids here...

... everyone just lets their hair down & have a smashing good time there....

xt was having a jolly good time man....

gene feeling the beat.....


Just earlier, I could not finish my 4th mug, so xt called me weak & continued downing with gene. Awhile later, I started puking.... so that xt was laughing at me.... calling me lousy... haha... Little did I know that once we got out of the tent, xt started puking.... hahaha... it was hilarious for me!! I could shove his comments back into his face, plus take photo evidence of how screwed he looked... haha..

On day 2, we crashed with some german youngsters at the Paulaner tent... they were so crazy & high that they got themselves & xt chased out of the tent by the security for falling on the table and spilling all the beers on it.....

... all this nonsense was happening while gene & I were outside enjoying very fragrant, tender, juicy & tasty roasted spring chicken..... hmmm.....

these fellas could barely stand.... look at the guy in baby blue tee, Manu.... haha..

... we had to go to another tent, where the craziness continued....

gene calls the girl in front their village bicycle....

don't ask me what they were trying to do... haha...

these guys were so fun...

gene feeling like he won the World Cup for Singapore....

these beer waitresses are bloody strong.... they can carry up to 10 mugs of beer at a time.... and their forearms all look bigger than mine...

stoning...


posing...

toasting...

Here comes the classic gene pics:

1st you get a huge feeling of puking at the back of your throat & neck....

then you let go... and let all the puke spill out...

finally you start spitting the remaining puke that is in your mouth..... haha...

Oktoberfest was totally what I expected.... absolutely smashing!!! It was probably alot more fun cos I was there with my good pals... so we could do so many crazy silly things together, laugh at each other, and afterthat recall the good times we had. I can't imgine how much fun we'll have if the whole cr8 was there... taking a whole table & getting totally wasted. That'll be alot crazier I'm sure...
