Munich at its very best!


You've got to love Munich at Oktoberfest time. There's a certain naughtiness in the air, that you don't really see in the Bavarian capital for the rest of the year. For the three week duration most locals are either drunk or recovering from being drunk. AND they are even chatty with the out-of-towners for once. But all the fun comes at a price. The trains fill up with vomit pretty quickly... normally, we only see that sort of thing in Berlin (Horrible, dirty place!)

In fact it's amazing, what with all the general destruction that occurs in Munich every year, that the locals are even still talking to Oktoberfest tourists like me. Sure, they do try to block the touries from their "exclusive" Munich club scene on weekends. But the problem is, if you dress in a good enough pair of lederhosen - then they can't tell if you are from out of town.

I suppose as long as the punters are paying for their drinks then the average Munich club owner doesn't really care - the city is known for being the place where the dollar (or Euro) rules supreme. And, someone must be flashing their cash around - check out the bad boy drink prices here at Club Paradiso (yes, that is really what the place is called).

I'll have the Goose Vodka for 240 Euro thanks!
