I'd love to spend a week in Munich, just tasting all the fantastic beers/ales there! (Mit pretzelen, bratwurst, weisswurst, und senf, of course.) I wouldn't want to go for Oktoberfest, though. From news photos I've seen, it's much too crowded, and way too many beginners who only want to get drunk, not to really TASTE the beer and savor it. (For those of you who may not know, beer is tasted exactly like fine wines. Pour, swirl slightly, enjoy the aroma, and sip a little, letting the beer slowly run over all parts of your tongue. Only then do you settle down and drink it.)
Cheers!
