[Traveler59]

Stationed in Germany for many years. Went to the Munchen Oktoberfest just once and got turn off. Too many foreigners becoming “stupid drunks”. However a German girlfriend of mine showed me where the Germans went for Oktoberfest... The Bad Cannstatt Volksfest (near Stuttgart). The Germans are “fun drunks”. Had a great time there and went back every year until I was transferred back to the US.

That would be just down the Neckar (and just up the road) from the Daimler-Benz main works in Untertürkheim. Also around the end of September?

I was on assignment on the opposite side of the metro area in Schwieberdingen and I missed it; could be that I was back in the States at the time.
