The evening before Oktoberfest I slept in a campsite somewhere in Munich. The party had already begun here and by the state of things it looked like it had been going for a while. The place was a little.....unsanitary. By 8 PM it was very chilly and I was wrapped, fully clothed, inside my sleeping …
