Oktoberfest 2007

[ILLMATIC]

I am going to be in Germany next week for Oktoberfest after that I will have Germany to explore. Does anyone have suggestions of what else to do out there???? Help a brother out!

I might hit some other countries but that will be a game time decision.

Drink. A lot.

And bring back some good beer.

There's more to Germany than nightclubs, don't forget.

Oh trust me, I know. But asking Ramon was the first thing that popped in my head.

I would buy a travel book. The Let's Go guides would probably be the kind of guide you're looking for, Pat. I'm sure they have a Let's Go Germany.

get to Frankfurt-go to the red light district-just trust me on this -take raincoats -and check out East Berlin while you are there-dollar goes very far there

I would love to go just to see the Cold War relics and get some old memorabilia from when the Wall still stood, and innumerable rock bands had a source of material.

definitely make sure to stop by one of those kiosk that sell nuts. the chocolate covered macadamian nuts are to die for! when u get the oktoberfest, start off at one of the tents, have a few beers and then go to the rides. its really fun that way. bring an umbrella or a raincoat cuz it always rains and it gets cold, so if u have one of those jackets with the fabric that resist water,those r good too.

if you have time to do some sightseeing, visit the soccer stadium if ur into that stuff. Some nearby day trips you can do are to visit Neuschwanstein castle- heres the link: Neuschwanstein Castle Pictures Castles Germany Fussen Bavarian German Schloss Newschwanstein Famous king Ludwig Picture map Winter Bavaria Munich big pics Austria Hotel Train Oberammagau Bed Breakfast Hotels Interior Photos Schwangau Hohenschwangau L . Also, you can visit Midonik- which was a concentration camp. its interesting but it will make you depressed. You can find more tourist info in the central station. The trains and subway system is really good and efficient so dont bother with cabs.

definitely try this soup they serve in Germany- its like a pancake soup- its consomme with scallions and thin slices of something that resembles a pancake.

please take video of the action in the beer halls and try to get video of the bavarian bands.
Also, if u plan to eat at burger king or mcdonalds, dont be surprised if they charge you for ketchup.

I hope you have a tons of fun. Remember when they say cheers, they say "Prost!"

Thanks for all the info! I actually like all the ideas that everyone gave Thank you! I will take as many videos and pictures as possible. I will share with anyone who wants it.

It sounds like I might check out Amsterdam and Italy at this point the more countries the merrier.
