Oktoberfest.

Oktoberfest Oktoberfest is a 16–18 day beer festival held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, running from late September to the first weekend in October. It is one of the most famous events in Germany and is the world's largest fair, with more than 5 million people attending every year. The Oktoberfest is an important part of Bavarian culture, having been held since 1810. Other cities across the world also hold Oktoberfest celebrations, modeled after the Munich event. The Munich Oktoberfest originally took place during the sixteen days up to and including the first Sunday in October. In 1994, the schedule was modified in response to German reunification so that if the first Sunday in October falls on the 1st or 2nd, then the festival would go on until October 3 (German Unity Day). Thus, the festival is now 17 days when the first Sunday is October 2 and 18 days when it is October 1. In 2010, the festival lasted until the first Monday in October, to mark the 200-year anniver...

(FEATURE) Caramoan Islands: A Trip to the Home of the Survivors By Jun Pasaylo (philstar.com) Updated April 19, 2011 12:33 PM MANILA, Philippines – It was 1:45 p.m. when my girlfriend and I reached the Port of Sabang last weekend. I am tired from the nearly 18 hours road trip from Manila to this eastern seaboard of Camarines Sur. On top of it, I am exhausted from the trip that seemingly used all modes of transportation (from bus to minibus, jeepney, tricycles, and 'habal-habal'); frustrated as the last ferry of the day has just departed when we arrived; and pestered with the porters who attempted to exploit even from a local tourists like us. As disappointment reached its peak, I was already considering of canceling the trip, while thinking "is this place really worth a visit?" I stretched my eyes to the waves of the sea, for beyond the horizons and t...
