Im Westen nichts Neues

All Quiet on the Western Front

My CouchSurfers left today morning for Prague (which in my opinion is the most beautiful city in Europe).

The blip shows the Oktoberfest grounds, only 4 days before the initial tapping. The place has gone fairly quiet, as most construction works for the beer tents and fun rides are finished and the drunken hordes haven't arrived, yet. In less than a week there will be 400,000 people (on average!) staggering running around every day, and up to 800,000 on weekend days.

You can find pictures of earlier stages of the buildup here, here and here.
