So this entry is quite post-event but I knew I would get around to it eventually. The day after Oktoberfest finished when Soma and I were eating breakfast in Munich, we came up with some tips/ pointers/ lessons learnt from Oktoberfest 2009. It was very much a Bevis a Butthead morning and we found coming up with these hilarious (although I think that was one of the 'you had to be there' moments).
Here goes:
1. Wear sturdy shoes - your feet will get stepped on.
2. Do NOT mix drinks - eg/ JD + beer = BAD.
3. Do NOT confess your undying love to an ex.
4. You WILL lose your voice (take vitamin B).
5. EAT something. Anything.
6. Do NOT introduce a sausage to a table full of Italians.
7. Do treat the conveyor belt as a conveyor belt of fitties.
8. Hold onto someone/ something when clambering onto beer tables.
9. Make up your own words to German beer songs.
10. Macht wiesinflirten. Lots.

Oktoberfest hints
That's funny! I lose my voice EVERY year and will try the vitamin B. About confessing undying love to an ex - there is a brewery north of Munich, Kuchlbauer, who produces a beer called Alte Liebe - Old Love. They say that after drinking this strong brew you will wan to call your ex-girlfriends, hence the name. With the words to german beer songs - many are in English, so you don't have to make up any word, but you can also find a bunch of them at the toytowngermany website - just search on Oktoberfest Lyrics. Also, I have some similar hints on my blog at bayerntrips
