I really don't feel like going out yesterday because I was a bit tired..but my feet just get itchy that I need to go somewhere. After we ate our great lunch we decided to visit the Bürgerfest in Regensburg, Bavaria. This is the first time that I attended this festival which takes place every two years...(if I am not mistaken). I have been to this city for more than 20 times but this is first time that I visited this very lively and fantastic celebration. People were everywhere especially around the old city. You can see a lot bands playing their music in every corner of the streets. German festivals will not be happier and merrier without the beer tents and kiosk that sells food, drinks, bratwurst and a lot more.

It seems that the night is getting over again. I will give you more updates about this tomorrow. feel free to visit my other sites...have a great evening to all!

there were people everywhere..even the bridge down under in Steinerne Bruecke also had a lot of people. ..you can see a lot of kiosks and tents where people celebrate. I can't imagine how many thousands of people visited this festival since Friday until it was over last night.

Greetings from the beautiful land of Germany! I know I have been posting photos here of the places I have been in Germany. This time I want to talk a bit about culture and tradition. My special topic for today is about food which is also my favorite..lol! This is more about German food!

It is not all Bratwurst, Sauerkraut, Kartoffeln, Bier, etc..nowadays German cuisine is much more sophisticated. There aren't national specialties as such, but a great many regional dishes and the foreign influence have been increasing through the years. I have been living in this country for almost six years now. To my observation, German cuisine is increasing due to the arrival of the Turkish, Greek, Italian, Yugoslavian, Spanish, Chinese guest workers in the Federal Republic who have brought their cuisine and restaurants with them.

I have been to some of these restaurants in which some of them are even my favorite. I love eating in Greek restaurant and Chinese too. I love some Turkish specialties like Kebap or Doener. I just ate last week in a Chinese buffet restaurant in Neumarkt...love it..that's why I never have a chance to lose weight, I would say to lose fat as what an online friend mentioned in her blog...not weight but fat..hehehe..

German dishes still tend to be very rich and almost invariably meat-based. Nowadays there are already an increasing trend towards leichte Kost or light diet-especially among younger people who are very health and figure conscious..The regional and locan specialties are too numerous to mentioned here. The best thing is to try them out---ask the "Spezialitaeten".

if you have to ask me, I love "Schweinebraten"..not all the time but once in while..time to prepare for dinner!! i'm getting hungry now.. Have a great day guys! I hope you have more info today about German food and the like!! till next time again...

p.s. the food photo was taken in a Greek restaurant in Parsberg as I had lunch with a friend last first week of February..

I was finally in the famous Hofbräuhaus in Munich..During our visit last year in the famous Oktoberfest, we also went to Hofbräuhaus and ate our lunch there. I was amazed by the tradition of this place. One thing that attracted me was the paintings inside especially on its ceiling. An honor for me to go and dined inside. and yes, their food are affordable and taste good too. To give you a bit info about this famous and historical place, here it is..feel free to also visit my friend online, dear Wikipedia!! oooppss. did you know that I had also seen Hofbräuhaus in Las Vegas during my vacation there last year!! nice place!!


The Staatliches Hofbräuhaus in München (literally state court-brewery in Munich, also Hofbräu München) is a brewery in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, owned by the state government. The Hof (court) comes from the brewery's history as a royal brewery in the Kingdom of Bavaria.

The brewery owns the Hofbräuhaus am Platzl, the Hofbräukeller, both not operated by the brewery, and the second largest tent at the Oktoberfest (Hofbräu-Festzelt). Its own brew, of course, is the only beer served.

The Hofbräuhaus in Munich inspired a world wide famous song, and the phrase "oans, zwoa, g'suffa" (bavarian dialect for: "one, two, chug"). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofbr%C3%A4uhaus
