Personal highlights

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