Oktoberfest

Tonight we are joining some friends for Oktoberfest. One of the hotels here hosts this event every year. I believe it is way past the "real" Oktoberfest ...but...we are in China....Who cares! This is about the only time each year that I drink more than a few swallows of Tim's beer. I am not really a big beer fan....unless....it is really really cold. AND...cold beer....even slightly cool beer is a luxury in China. They like to serve it warm. Yuk! Well...I was planning to have more than a few swallows of beer tonight (it is nice and cold at Oktoberfest) except......I HAVE 7 1/2 HOURS OF MANDARIN CLASS TOMORROW! Ah....bad timing!
