It is truly one of those things that has to be experienced. What fun: drinking stein aften stein; eating roasted chicken with your bare hands; polka-ing along with the myraid leiderhosen-clad oompa bands; sitting on the Paulaner merry go round and wondering if life could possibly get any better…Oktoberfest is an awesome, memorable time.
Absolutely worth it! Not easy, but it wasn’t overly difficult, either. I did it with Weight Watchers, and I have been maintaning my weight for about 6 months now. Those of you trying, keep at it!! You CAN do it and you are worth it!
