Oktoberfest - because beer is food! (day I)

We got up at 9:00 every day, and by 10:30 we were drinking beer and shouting out drinking songs in German, with a bunch of drunk people. Man, I had a fucking blast. We sat next to all sorts of people from all over the world, well mainly Americans, don't know why. Beer brought us together. In beer we trust - together we drink, divided we fall and wake up with a hangover. 


On the first day we we're so tired and the first beer hit me like a derailed train. It spun me into the arms of the woman sitting next to me, she accepted me, gladly. I remember her wacky friends calling us "The chosen ones" I guess because we're Jewish and from Israel. They were a happy bunch and made our first day at the festival memorable. I can't really say I remember much of the conversation, but I remember everything felt good with a mixture of alcohol and jetlag.


After two or maybe three beers, a decision was made, let's hop to another tent and try a different beer. Well, that was an ambitious move, or maybe just a wrong move. Moving in general was hard. I remember climbing out of my sit and somehow finding myself outside back in the arms of that open hearted lady, all the while, her good friend was puking and/or fainting (I was obviously not paying any attention). I was holding my hat in one hand and my coat with the other, while my arms were around her, and at the same time tried to grab her arse. It's funny I still cared about the hat, I didn't want it get dirty. My friends were standing there beside me, laughing and talking in Hebrew about the situation, just loud enough for me to somehow pay attention to them. Eventually we departed, mainly because her friend needed medical attention.


We barely made our way back to the apartment. It's a miracle we didn't end up lost or in need of medical attention as well. I remember waiting at the bus station, crouched in the corner, wasted. We than slept for like 16 hours and woke up the next day to drink again!

Every day was a new challenge which we accepted!
