Oktoberfest
Oktoberfest
pure madness, visiting my first Bavarian Oktoberfest - in Windhoek, Namibia!

Sean McBride, Windhoek, Namibia
Duration:

Journey:
Personal highlights
- Oktoberfest: traditional festivity imported from Munich, Bavaria
- Namibia: very weird clash of two cultures due to German colonies
- People: heavy built German and Dutch immigrants drinking lots of beer
- Competitions: beer lifting (female record: 17 glasses!) and wood sewing
- Couchsurfing: finding new friends online to have a fun afternoon / evening
