so normally when someone says "oktoberfest" the natural associations are (in no particular order), munich, beer, sausage, sauerkraut, etc. in fact, i'm guessing that in most cases some of the last words people would think of would be argentina or november.
IRregardless, i attended oktoberfest in november in buenos aires. Mark, a half german half english friend i made in my spanish course, invited me along to the celebration being thrown at the german embassy in belgrano, a nice neighborhood in the north of the city. it was a good time. the cost of entrance not only bought entrance but also a nice beer mug commemorating the event or a big cookie for the kids. warsteiner beer was served (i know it's german but i don't know if it's from bavaria), the crazy white sausage and other meats were present, and potato salad and sauerkraut were everywhere. they were even giving out free cotton candy and had live music.
so that was fun and unexpected.
