MUNICH: Munich opened its doors to thousands of beer-drinking merrymakers as the world’s biggest folk festival, the Oktoberfest, got under way in celebrations which this year last two days longer than usual.
Germans, in party mood after the World Cup and cheered by a pickup in the economy, have 18 days to consume millions of litres of beer and hundreds of thousands of sausages as the festival has been extended to include October 3’s public holiday.

I think I did that “six day fest” in college, but those days are very hazy. And best forgotten. When I do retire, I think I’d like to sample the fun!
Note to self: Add this to things to do before leaving the game! stage. play. illusions. whatever!
