I heard about Oktoberfest, but I never heard of dults. Apparently the dult in Munich is the most famous in Germany and its known to the rest of the world as Oktoberfest. Every city in Germany holds their own dult. I had never been to one, so Leoš and I decided to go to the one in Regensburg. Leoš used to live in Regensburg and even owns lederhosen (specific type of clothes for the dult). We stayed at his friend's house and all of us went to the dult together. I didn't realize that it was also like a fair, so when we arrived there were many stalls and even several attractions people could ride on. It was much bigger than I expected it to be. Leoš's friends tried to reserve a table for us, but they weren't able to. We walked around the tent area and somehow we found a table that wasn't reserved. It was so nice that we were able to sit together and enjoy the dult. In our tent there was the famous pole people try to climb and ring a bell. Many people tried and some were able to do it. It was quite fun to watch. There was also live music and such a fun atmosphere. The waiters were able to carry so many beers at one time, it was really impressive. I'm not much of a beer person, so I had a 500ml Radler, but in the same glass as everyone else. It was nice to see that people didn't get out of hand and were able to have a great time together. People were even dancing on the benches! There is no way that this could happen in USA or Czech Republic without people trying to break the benches. It was a fun night out! Prost!
