Irony postings for the Oktoberfest cancellation in Munich: "Dancing on the desk"
ZDF journalist Nicole Diekmann wrote ironically in a post for the short message service: "If everything is going virtually now, why not the Oktoberfest : Join us in groups, drink ourselves, dance on the desk, pee in the corner and vomit and in the stairwell. The fight may then be in top form for free. "
If everything goes virtually now, why not the Oktoberfest too: join together in groups, drink ourselves, dance on the desk, pee in the corner and vomit and in the stairwell. The fight may then be in top form for free. #Meadows

#Wiesn dahoam part 2:
- Cover the fish roll and bite it twice - then bite it on it
- Leave half a trade in the oven at 75 degrees for two days
- let it all out again.
- optional Sierra Madre or Country Roads
- try Macarena on the beer bench
Whether the Oktoberfest can take place again next year? If a vaccine against the pathogen Sars-Cov-2 * should be found? In any case, many Munichers will be keen to follow the trend.
