I love this and it makes me happy that Oktoberfest hasn't become an enormous capitalist behemoth! Definitely on the list.

This was so much fun to read, Sam! I lol’d at “shout-singing with a crowd of fellow drunks is extremely fun.” 😂 Another terrific piece! And now I’m going downstairs to the market in my building before it closes to buy beer! 🍻 Prost!

Sam, every single detail is fun. Thank you for sharing your experience! I don't know why soup isn't a normal breakfast everywhere. It's warm and cozy. Also, wurst and pretzel are OK on my breakfast list too. Put them all together!

I really enjoyed this - what a piece of travel writing! And now I want to go, even though I had not interest in doing so before!

You are an expert writer! I need to go back and read any earlier posts i missed. This was a delight! Lots of interesting facts and info studded with delightful personal anecdotes. Would love a Travels With Sam book. Reading you reminds me of how much I used to love reading John McPhee....how he could draw me in and keep me even about topics I didn’t know I was interested in.
