Oktoberfest, part 2

So, as the day has settled, I hope some have found time to look at the
pictures i posted. Unfortunately, they don't seem to do justice to the
madness of the day. I've got a couple of video clips, and i think i'll
posting them soon also. As i was detoxing in my morning class today (i
just started sweating, for no reason, for about 30 straight minutes -
unreal), more of the weekend was revealed.
-as far as driving, the germans have by far the best roads, while
switzerland was obviously the most scenic. (there were things we saw
along the side of the road there that would have undoubtedly been major
tourist attractions in the US, complete with penny-stamping machines.
The french, naturally, had the worst system of roads, closely followed
by the italians
-we met an entire table of pepperdine undergrads (how weird is that?)
and none of them seem to think studying-abroad is too difficult. But,
they were the best looking girls in the beer halls.
-never be the first one to pass out, as your friends will be merciless.
-American beer is truly the worst in the world.
