Oktoberfest

[yeoman6987]

I was just watching (BBC News or world news) and there is talk of canceling Oktoberfest this year. The situation with the refugees and having alcohol, food that is not typical for the refugees and clothes issues may make a choice of canceling it for they year to allow the Refugees to not have to deal with crowds of drinkers and other issues.



At first I was like....what? I went in 2007 and had a blast..........


but then I thought about it from the Refugees perspective and I think canceling it for this year is probably a good idea. They are guests of our country and we want them to be treated well and having the craziness that does come with Oktoberfest might not be a great way to show off their new country. I believe that they will have Oktoberfest in 2016 though.

1. That is a really generous discussion for Germans to be having.
