Traveling the World #57 (Europe Series) Oktoberfest Beer Festival -...

Hi Steemians,

Today I’ll continue to take you though our night at the Armbrustschützen tent at Munich’s Oktoberfest. If you only just started reading my blog, you can find the first part here

今天我會繼續跟你們分享我在慕尼黑啤酒節裡的其他東西．如果昨天你沒有看見我的介紹，你可以到這裡看看。

After our snack, we continued on with the dancing and singing with the locals. We have noticed there weren’t many tourists like us so many of them would come up for a chat and see how we like Germany and the Oktoberfest. We believe that due to the commitment of booking a table ahead of time may be a bit difficult for those who are traveling from somewhere else or just decide on a specific date. As we had space left on our table, there were some people who asked us kindly if they can join us.

吃完小吃之後，我們繼續跟大家一齊唱歌和跳舞。我們發現原來周圍都不是有很多遊客，差不多全部人都是本地的．他們看見我不是本地人就過來跟我們聊天看看我們喜歡不喜歡德國和對這個啤酒節有什麼想法等等．他們還很熱情告訴我們德國其他好玩的地方．我想遊客比較少到啤酒帳篷裡是因為這個要很早在網上訂位置所以很多遊客都很難預早決定日子和時間．我們的桌子有空位所以有些人問我們可不可以跟我們一起坐。

So the band in the middle of the crowd rotates as I guess they need a drink as well haha. They mainly spoke in English and sometimes in German where the locals would translate what they were saying to us. Many people started standing on the benches dancing and singing with their friends. Also a note that the band always repeat songs so it was very very easy to pick the songs up. Someone like Daddy E who doesn’t sing much picked up the tunes & lyrics very quickly

樂隊裏的樂手有時候要換人因為我想他們都想休息和喝一點啤酒．樂隊和當地人大部份都講英文但有時候會說一些德文所以周圍的當地人會用英文翻譯給我們聽。如果你擔心你不認識當地的音樂不用擔心．因為他們常常會重複受歡迎的歌曲而且歌詞很容易學所以我們很快都會唱的．連爸爸 E 這個少唱歌的人都很快地學識每首歌曲的節奏和歌詞

After some more dancing, we were all getting hungry so decided to get some food to share. The memory of Germany in terms of food was they had alot of meat, susages and sauerkraut. So tonights menu was exactly that - pretzels, pork knuckle, roast chicken and sauerkraut. The servings were huge as we you can see from the pictures. They also included sides like potatoes and salads which was plenty for the 5 of us. We also ordered some more drinks which were bought out by the famous beer ladies. Why are they famous? It is because these ladies can hold many glasses of beers in one hand and these steins were heavy!

跳完舞之後，我們開始覺得有點餓所以叫了一點東西吃．在我記憶裏，德國的食物有很多肉類，香腸和酸菜．今晚我們叫了椒鹽捲餅，豬手，烤雞和酸菜．在照片裏你們可以見餐的份量很大以他們再配了一些馬鈴薯和沙律所以五個人都可以吃得很飽．我們再定了一些啤而這裡的啤酒女郎是非常有名的。為什麼？是因為她們可以一隻手拿很多杯啤酒。每杯都非常重所以她們真是非常厲害。

Once dinner time was over, the crowd was getting wilder! everyone was up on the benches dancing and singing loudly with the band as you can see from the picture below.

吃完晚飯之後，全部人都玩得很瘋狂．每個人都在椅子上跳舞和很大聲唱歌．

At about 10pm, the night was coming to an end. The band played some special music and all marched out the door playing an their instruments. Following them were the beer ladies working that night giving out flowers to all the females in the tent. By the time we came out of the tent, the outdoor activities were still going strong with large crowds everywhere.

差不多晚上10點，這個party開始完啦．樂隊唱了一首特別的歌就慢慢一邊打樂器，一邊走出帳篷．之後，啤酒女郎拿了很多玫瑰花送給當晚的女士們。我們離開帳篷看到原來外們還有很多人很熱鬧

We all had a great night and it was definitely a highlight on our trip to Germany. Daddy E and I were blessed to be able to experience this with our friends and it has been and continue to be something we always talk about with these friends when we catch up.

我們當晚玩得非常開心而在德國之旅其中一個很難忘的景點．爸爸 E 和我很開心可以跟一些好朋友一齊體驗這個有名的啤酒節．我們每次見面的時候都會講當天的趣事。
