Tearing down the Oktoberfest
The Oktoberfest is over - and no time has been wasted in tearing it down. Street sweepers are out, booths and tents are being dismantled already, and in just two weeks the whole event will be gone without a trace.
I couldn't help but smile as I passed yet another steamed-up car parked nearby - with Turin registration plates. In the back were two sleeping bags filled by no doubt badly hung-over Italian tourists. Somehow the Italians do it differently - they prefer to sleep in camper vans and even cars. Six beered-up guys in one camper wagon doesn't sound like fun to me!
