October 9th afternoon

After waiting for the bus at the Packhofstraße we went to Rodewitz, where we met Mrs. Heiber. We started walking and Mrs. Heiber showed us some berries, and of course Iina and I had to taste them (they were really sour and reaction was similar to salmiakki tasting with germans)… The day was one of the warmest +22°C, so really hot for October. The way up was hard, but talking with friends made it easier and we got to the top of the Mönchswalder Berg. There we planned our farewell night programmes and I tasted apple strudel. Way down was easier and really funny, because we were taking silly selfies XD. Part of the group was even able to get lost, but because of that we found a cute dog and a great view… Finally we found the rest of the group and continued the journey. In a playground we took some groupphotos and after that there were not so long way to the bus stop. We said goodbye to Mrs. Heiber and Heiber.a really cute and playful cat came to be petted. On the way home a bee stung me but still the whole evening was really nice!

Popular German music and Oktoberfest

Many well known bands come from Germany and probably the most popular genre is  hard rock/heavy metal. The most important and globally well known bands are Rammstein and Scorpions. Other globally recognized bands are Silbermond (rock), Die Ärtze (punk rock), Fettes Brot (hip hop), Subway to Sally (medieval folk rock), Fantastisch Vier (hip hop also) and of course Tokio Hotel (pop rock).                                                                                                                                               Oktoberfest is the world's largest funfair held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. It is a 16-day festival running from late September to the first weekend in October with more than 6 million people from around the world attending the event every year. Other cities across the world also hold Oktoberfest celebrations, modeled after the original Munich event.                                       

  I went with my host family to nearest Oktoberfest and it was really awesome experience! There were performing great band called Santiano which plays folk rock and sea shanty. We ate bretzels and langos (a popular Hungarian street food) and of course people were drinking (lots of) beer and shots. The atmosphere was happy and cheerful, people were singing and even dancing on tables.
