I attended to Oktoberfest with my girlfriends at Malaysian-German society on 23rd of Oct.
It's my first time to join such a happening event which I had heard about it long time ago.
We drank, we danced and we did really enjoy the atmosphere over there =)

OKAY! HERE'S THE HISTORY ABOUT OKTOBERFEST WHICH I READ IT FROM THE BOOKLET THAT I GOT IT ON THAT NIGHT:
The first Oktoberfest in Munich was held in 1810; for the commemoration of their marriage, Crown Prince Ludwig (later Ludwig I) and Princess Theresa of Saxe-Hildburghausen organized a big horse race. The festival lasted 5 days and attracted a crowd of 4000o people. The venue- a lawn just outside of town was names “Theresienwiese” after the royal bride. The festival takes place there ever since.
In 1819the founding citizens of Munich assumed responsibility for the festival management and it was agreed the Oktoberfest would become an annual event.
In celebration of the silver wedding of King Ludwig I and Theresa of Bavaria in 1835 a parade took place for the first time. Since 1850, this has become a yearly event and an important component of the Oktoberfest. 8000 people- mostly from Bavaria – in traditional costumes walk from Maximilian Street 7km through the centre of Munich to the Theresienwiese.
Due to war, cholera epidemics and other emergencies the Oktoberfest was cancelled 24 times.
This year the “Wiesn” will celebrate its 200 years anniversary. It will be on a bigger area and will be extended for 2 more days. There will even be horse races which have not taken place on the Oktoberfest since more than 30 years!
Well, what I wanna say is...
"Ich liebe Oktoberfest"
