For the past month my son Nik has been bopping around Europe on a student Eurailpass. From the looks of his pictures on Facebook, I’d say he’s having a blast. One of his recent destinations was the Oktoberfest celebration in Munich. It looked like a fun time.
But I’m here to report that our Oktoberfest in Addis Ababa has everything the one in Munich has.
It has beer and pretzels (does this look familiar, Nik?):
Frauleins in dirndls:
some of them in stupid souvenir hats:
bratwurst, potatoes and sauerkraut:
and foreigners doing silly dances:
I don’t know if they have waltzing ambassadors in Munich, but I thought it was a nice addition to the festivities.
For more details and photos of Oktoberfest in Addis, check out the blog of our friends Bob & Ana – it’s called Tibs Tummy and it’s always entertaining.
