Sightseeing in Bavaria, Munich, and Germany to understand the culture. Make reservations the day before and be prepared to enjoy local sausage specialties and a lot of awareness/expertise on the East Providence waterfront. While I held our place at the concert, grab an Opa's Smoked Bratwurst. Personal experiences at Oktoberfest 2012, an indepth look at the beers, tents. I did it too once, it's pretty fun.
