Oktoberfest is one of the most famous festivals in the world.
And if we talk about beer festivals, it is the world’s largest one.
The Munich Oktoberfest, traditionally, takes place during the sixteen days up to and including the first Sunday in October.
This year, the Munich Oktoberfest will take place from September 19 to October 4. More than six million people are awaited to attend the event.
The festival will last for about 2 weeks, so I think this is not the last picture collection from this fun event.
Well for now let's see how it all began. By the way, there are plenty of beautiful girls inside the post ;)

A very unusual hotel has opened its doors in the city of Kaiserslautern, Germany.
It is situated in the former building of the city jail.
Customers actually sleep in a cell where windows have also bars.
The toilet is located right in the room as in an ordinary prison cell.
The only difference with a real prison is that it’s a free entry and exit; it’s possible to use a phone whenever you want and you can have excellent food.

The greatest apartment complex ever! (12 pics)

Posted in Pictures 15 Jul 2009   / 5752 views
Designed by Viennese artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, this incredible building was erected in Germany and called the Waldspirale or wooded spiral.
All the windows are unique, which number is over 1000: no two windows are the same. Similarly, different handles are attached in each apartment to the doors and windows. Everything is unique in there, it is U-shaped and its facade painting is awesome. It contains 105 apartments, a parking garage, a kiosk as well as a café and a bar (the last two being located at the top of the spiral). The inner courtyard contains a playground for the children of the residents and a small artificial lake.
It’s the whole package. I’d love to live there :)
