If you want to visit a eutopia that seems too good to be true then make your way to Interlaken. What I saw simply looked fake, truly unreal. We flew into Zurich on Saturday and rented a car so we could have a two-hour drive through the mountains towards Interlaken. The closer we got the... Continue Reading →

Oktoberfest, a magical place where alcoholics gather to celebrate God's golden drinkable delicacy.  A popular US movie is "Beerfest," a spinoff of Oktoberfest festivities. This movie's basis was about the only idea/thought process I had in my mind going into the weekend. Even regarding Munich, I knew little besides faint memories from my high school history class....

I only ever heard about it from the popular song "My house in Budapest." The only thing I really knew and wanted to see... Continue Reading →
