This past week marked the beginning of Oktoberfest, the Autumn celebration that started in Munich, Germany, almost 200 years ago. It has since spawned festivals everywhere in the world, from Cincinnati to Brazil. Aside from the beer and German delicacies, the event also includes cultural entertainment and attractions.

I've been to Oktoberfest and I only got 2 right. It's a fun time but I think it's a little overrated. If you want to party with Americans with a few foreigners thrown in go to the Haufbrau house in Vegas.

#3 is highly debatable. While Munich's Oktoberfest is the "only one of its kind", there are much smaller, similarly themed celebrations throughout Germany.

I love Munich; it's such a beautiful city. Sadly, I didn't make it to Oktoberfest, but I did get the chance to go to Fruhlingsfest (sort of a smaller, springtime version). I'll have to make do with the oompa bands and sauerkraut out here at the random events the do in the States...

I'm pathetic. I live in Munich and I only got 50% on this quiz. To my defense though, I'm not a big fan of the Oktoberfest.
