HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I spent such a fun night here in the Hague for halloween... surrounded by so many amazing new friends and fun places here. Friday night we all carved pumpkins (which was a first for 2 people) and last night was the night of celebration: kicking off the night at a friends party, and then headed over to a huge club called Paard Van Troje for a giant halloween party with over 900 people!

Wiesn aka Oktoberfest!

I have never seen such an amazing event as Oktoberfest (or Wiesn as its called in Germany)...

14 beer "tents" (actually huge buildings), rollercoasters, great food, masses of beer, loud music, and over 6 million new friends- it truely was outstanding. Everyone sings and dances on the tables and benches, you make friends with everyone around you, people are dressed in traditional Lederhosen for the men, and Dirndl's for the women. And you cheers every ten minutes :)

PLUS I got the special treat of this year being the celebrations 200th anniversary! This year Wiesn was bigger, better, and longer than ever.

Such a great time..
PROAST! (cheers)
