Using Doodle, it’s easy to keep track of who can come and when.
Oktoberfest in Munich
Here are a few other things to keep in mind…
Hugeness – With millions of visitors every year, and the whole Theresienwiese grounds being as massive as they are, you can lose your mates in a blink. So pick a spot to meet and stick to it! There are so many tents, large and small, but the biggest is Winzerer Fähndl, which boasts seating for almost 8,500 people (inside!). The 13 other large tents are of near-comparable size. Most of the attendees are coming from Bavaria, but a large percentage are visiting from other EU countries or from overseas.
Food – Traditionally, only local brews are allowed to be tapped and sold at the festival, but there’s much more than Paulaner (and 5 others) to be enjoyed. We’re talking about all of the amazing Bavarian cuisine available to accompany the brew. Aside from Schweinshaxe, a pork knuckle that’s marinated and roasted until the skin gets all crispy and delicious, there’s weisswurst (white sausage), roast chicken, pretzels, spaetzle (like mac and cheese), and much more. Don’t forget to hit up the money machine beforehand, it’s cash only in the tents!
Travel and Safety – It’s not really recommended to drive to the Wiese by car, because parking can be a bit of a nightmare. No worries though, the grounds are easily accessed by public transit. Once you arrive at the gates be prepared for a security check. Everyone gets checked before coming in, and due to a recent ban, no big bags or backpacks are allowed beyond the gates. Safety is taken very seriously; at the busiest times of the festival, there can be up to 450 security officials on duty (and some in plainclothes). Best to avoid conflict with drunkies and keep an eye on your possessions anyhow!
Have the best time at Oktoberfest!

Asked about technology she uses during her workouts she answers: ‘I actually simply use my good old iMac Calendar to schedule in my workouts! I find that by scheduling them in, just like I would any other appointment, I am much more likely to stick with them! 
Carnival has also a lot to do with Productivity! First, Carnival is a huge economic factor for Brazil, be it for Brazilians that travel during the Carnival holidays or for foreigners coming to Brazil, especially to Rio de Janeiro, where the biggest Carnival procession happens, in the so called Sambódromo.
