So this weekend was pretty interesting. Jessica and I went to Munich for Oktoberfest and it turned out much better than I expected. We met some awesome people from all over the world and drank copious amounts of beer. I learned German drinking songs and how to say the German equivalent of "cheers", which is "prost".
This being my second trip on my own, I was a little nervous about getting there on time and finding my hostel and Jessica, which was potentially dangerous since neither of us had phones. It all worked out perfectly which makes me a more confident traveler. I loved the train ride to Munich because it is the only real time I have just to sit and think about things and enjoy the scenery. There is nothing more relaxing to me than to take a train and read my Bukowski, even if he is pretty depressing sometimes. It's because of this that I always arrive at my destination ready to explore as much as I can.
I spent Thursday doing your standard Oktoberfest festivities - drinking, eating, and laughing at all the drunken men and women stumble around. Having partied too much the entire week before, Jessica and I decided to go back to our campsite hostel and hangout there. They sold cheap but delicious beer so we spent the rest of the evening drinking around a campfire with guys from the UK and Germany.
The next day, my German friend drove us around Munich and showed us some beautiful parks and buildings. Munich is my favorite city so far because of the architecture and statues. On top of the beauty of the city, the people are awesome too. Everyone was friendly and happily gave us directions in English. I am definitely happy that I am in Strasbourg so I can be so close to Germany.
