Judging by other "festivals" I have attended or heard about in
Korea, I can pretty well guarantee it will be crap. To have a proper
Oktoberfest you would need a minimum of 3 things: Imported
German beers on tap, quality German sausages and fresh German
pretzels. Given Korea's: Current state of culture, experience with
other cultures and general knowledge about foreign food and drink;
I can say with confidence this will be a disappointing joke to be
avoided at all costs. Give Korea 150-200 years of development and
then try Oktoberfest. |

Apparently you've never been.
Cultural it is not, but it's all you can drink beer and they give you a take home travel mug. All for about the same price as regular admission. It's an excuse to get drunk, not take in German culture.
When I was in front of LW a couple days ago I saw no mention of it, but hoping it comes back. |

Hey buddy, crap is still crap. What did the mug say? "Das Cass"?
"Von Hite"? Sorry, but if I'm gonna drag my ass to some place on
a weekend it has to have, at least, some semblance of quality. Korea
just isn't there yet. Look at the "Seoul World Food Festival" they had
a few months back. Foreign foods - zero, Korean foods - who cares,
free samples - zero, "World Food Fest - NOT" |

i think koreans have some liking for german bratwurst? |

What the *beep* do you know? Oktoberfest at Lotte World is a lot of fun. You can't argue with all you can drink beer and rollercoasters! Who cares if it's shit beer, it doesn't cost much. I don't think it's on this year though, some Halloween thing maybe.
By the way, I don't know what World Food Festival you were at, but I went to one around Cheonggyecheon that was fantastic. There was food from every single continent. I had some Paraguayan, Vietnamese, Russian and god knows what else. Cheap, good beer too! All this is in the sunshine made for a great day. |

I had a good time at the Oktoberfest hosted by Lufthansa at the Marriott in Busan. The beer was Korean, but the food was great and the music was too. |

Haha, I could probably fry up a dog turd and you people would be
dancing a jig and pinching each others arses to see who could have
the first bite.

Laughed so hard that I snorted my morning coffee through my nose and onto my keyboard. You were responsible for this. My coworkers think I'm on drugs. Thank you very much... |

I don't really see how going to an amusement park and drinking beer makes me a sucker just because it's not authentic. North Americans have bastardized plenty of holidays, including two notable ones from my country, but I don't particularly care as long as it's fun. |

I went to the October fest two years ago. So fun! We went on a Saturday afternoon, lots of rides, all you can drink. I wish it was on again this year.
To Cohiba, why u gotta hate? If people want to ride roller coasters and drink beer, I say let them. You can stay home and troll on Dave's all day if you want, but I'll take the gyro spin anyday. |
