MUNICH -- It's probably not an example of perfect planning to be stationed here this week, if the thought of partying leaves you cold. Oktoberfest, or the Wiesn (meadows), as the world's largest and most famous beer festival is often referred to, has been in full swing since last weekend.
Once the famous words "O'zapft is" (the first beer barrel is tapped) are uttered, the race is on to consume copious quantities of the many different varieties of Munich beer accompanied by convivial chat with friends while often wearing traditional Bavarian costume.
