You know us: I am an American expat, my wife is a wacky German, and together we live in Hannover, Germany. Once again, we ventured to the Hannover Oktoberfest at the Schützenplatz fair grounds. This year, we rode all the rides, listened to all the music, ate all the food and drank all the beer. ALL OF IT. We also filmed the entire thing, so you can experience it with us! Check out the video below:

  2. Wow!! You guys had yourself some fun. I think the highlight for me was the creaky roller coaster at the end and the shrill cry of fear you had! Oh, priceless. There is nothing like it, right? The big ball looks fun, too. What happens if a kid wants to get off of that? I can see that being kind of nightmare for someone. Thanks for sharing your video!
