Munich-Oktoberfest

We woke up at 0415 so as to catch the 0558 train to munich from stuttgart. it was the first time i saw sunrise in germany. it was a pretty sight.
after meeting up with choi kwun at the train station, we proceeded to our campsite. we hqd to cross the expressway to get to the campsite..
and presenting our accomodation in munich. tents!!! small ones tho.. siwei n ziming shared this. choi kwun n i shared this..
n cj n erwann's ginormous 2-man tent.
It was near noon by the time we reached the Oktoberfest grounds. First look when we got out of the tram station.
There were crazy rides... which we didn't take... (scared of heights ma.. wat to do??) And most of the pple were dressed in the costume. very very pretty girls.
This is the horse carriage with all the beer barrels. the guy and the horses were huge.
more crazy rides...
The view of Oktoberfest. Beer tents, pple, rides. And how can we miss out on food??? we hqd the 1/2metre long bratwurst.Pork Knuckles..in a bun, in my mouth, in my stomach.
And not to forget... special 1litre beer mugs. A random table of pple sitting outside... Look at the amount of beer...
and we tried to get into the beer tents like these pple. stood at the line for 2 hours... but didn't manage to enter. the trick is to go early. siwei was almost dying
and next to us was this pretty girl from austria. we wanted to know how much those traditional costume cost.. hers was 700€.
And this is the traditional costume for the men. In the end, we went outside to get beer. 0.5l glasses...
Group pic!! it was the best time that day. to sit on the grass n relax.
BBQ for dinner!!!! and it was Choi Kwun's birthday too!! Nice round up to our trip.and yes. i HAD to try on the dress. looked retarded, but not that bad lah hor???? please don't puke.
