Oktoberfest

What is Oktoberfest? Oktoberfest is a 16-day drink-a-thon in Munich, originally began in 1810 as a commemoration of the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen. Now an important part of Bavarian culture, the festival features good beer, hearty German food, and carnival rides for some reason. Here are some photos I gathered from Life.com --- one of my favorite websites for admiring beautiful photos.

Now, still wondering why I miss  Germany so much? 
I wanna go and wear dirndl and Jonah wears lederhosen! That would be fuuunnn... Anyone else is coming?

Deutschland vs España

via tumblr
They met last night in World Cup 2010 semi-finals. Of all WC2010 matches, that was by far the most uncomforting match ever! Hated it. Spain won and advance to final match against the Dutchmen. I'm terribly overjoyed for Spain yet incredibly heartbroken for Germany. Spain better be the winner  and prove themselves in the final that they deserve to be World Cup 2010 winner! Viva España! Vamos!
