Really Germany, Dubai?
 
Dubai tapped to host Germany’s canceled Oktoberfest, upsetting some traditionalists

Ach, ya think? What the hell? :O:

Quote:

Germany’s Oktoberfest, which has been canceled for the second year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, is to be staged in Dubai, upsetting traditionalists.
Authorities in Dubai are reported in German media to have approved the festival, which will be staged for six months, much longer than Munich’s typical two weeks, commencing in October in the Dubai Marina.
Beer will be imported from Germany, along with authentic serving staff. “Baywatch” star Pamela Anderson, actor Steven Seagal, and politician and “Terminator” actor Arnold Schwarzenegger are reported to have been invited.

They can have it. I always considered the Oktoberfest to be a national embarassment.

Catfish 05-04-21 11:45 AM

And all those abstinent muslims ... guess only guests are allowed to drink beer then..

Well, you're always welcome to visit Wisconsin. Plenty of Oktober festivals to go around in that state.


In beginning of month we have Apple Festival in Bayfield, WI too. Very laid back fun.

None of my many German cousins would agree with that statement but then none of them is Skybird.

Well, I also do not like Currywurst or Sauerkraut, cars or most of Beethoven.

Every Golden Retriever is a dog, but not every dog a Retriever.

Some people are extroverted, some are not. Some of those being extroverted like big upfilling events with noise and crowds and lots of puke around the corner. Others do not.

Its a cliche that all Germans like the Oktoberfest. Some do, others don't, and other just dont care.

Is that really a surprise?

Jeff-Groves 05-04-21 04:56 PM

So.
Is BeerFest being moved also?
:hmmm:

My response was not to criticize you. You are the first German I know who dislike this Oktoberfest and it was interesting.

Believe it or not, but personally I know and knew nobody who cared for the OF. And I am confident to say that is the majority view. Most neither like or dislike it, but just dont care, are not interested.
Except maybe in Bavaria. :)

I think there will be Oktoberfest celebrations in the US that will be more authentic than what they'll be able to do in Dubai. God bless them for trying though. I just hope it doesn't spur some jihadi terrorist action with all that alcohol and scantily clad women strutting around in the Holy Land.

Besoffener Bayer nach dem Oktoberfest findet benutzes Kondom in der U-Bahn:
"De Saupreissn, olls Weischwürschtl wäckschmeise" (nimmts und schlürfts aus), "aba's beste lossens drien, s's Fääd!"
(und untersteh dich das zu übersetzen :arrgh!:)
