Munich Oktoberfest 2012 - a preview

A preview of the Munich Oktoberfest 2012

You’ve made the decision. You’ve found your bed and booked your flight. You’ve packed your most Bavarian-like clobber and have been brushing up your “Guten Abend!” and “danke schön!”.

You’re on your way to what could well be the best party of your life: The Munich Oktoberfest. So what can you expect? This photo page and the five following it are a preview, a teaser, if you will, of what awaits at this most awesome German beer festival.
They were taken by Oktoberfest visitors who’ve chosen to share their work through websites such as flickr.com . If you’re after more practical info and stories about the fest please check out the main Oktoberfest Munich page here. See here for an index of all of Oktoberfest-related stories on this site (there’s over two dozen, I’ve been doing this for a while now :-).
So, on with the photos!

people passed out from too much of the amber gold.
