I'm having a great time out here.  But as for the total lack of trash, I think those days are done for.  There are cigarette butts all over the streets, candy bar wrappers here and there.  But I am glad I did miss Oktober Fest, from what I've been told, it's been completely commerciallized.  It's a shame.  But the christmas markets start opening in about a week, a friend told me to stay away from Munich, or Nurberg if I like smaller things, and since I do, she's going to take me to one of the better small ones in a village about 30 minutes away.
