It all went too fast? Here are the details:
00:00
First of all: Literally noone in Munich calls the world’s largest beer festival #Oktoberfest. Locals appreciate it if you use the term “Wiesn” (“meadow”), after the colloquial name for the fairgrounds where it has been held since 1810, the Theresienwiese. Also, "Wiesn" is more appropriate, as the Oktoberfest confusingly starts in September.
00:08 The Bavaria Statue
A 19th century statue and female personification of the Bavarian homeland, commissioned by Ludwig I of Bavaria. It is one of Munich’s most famous landmarks and is situated at the western side of the Theresienwiese.
00:13 KOTZWIESE
…or Kotzhügel, which literally translates into "mount puke". An infamous part of the Wiesn, close to an exit. Do you really wanna know where it is?
00:21/00:30 VEST/LEDERHOSEN
Quality has its price. An “alright” Lederhosen starts at 200 Euro and a decent one at 1000 Euro. Proper traditional Bavarian costumes can be found here in Munich:

00:34 It's true. A Lederhosen literally never gets washed. The detergent would destroy the leather. The stains of fat and god knows what else make your Lederhosen look better and better the longer you wear it, they say.
00:40 There is hardly any place that accepts Credit or Debit Cards at the Wiesn and ATMs are rare. So unless you want to spend 30 minutes to find an ATM, cue up for another 30 minutes and miss two rounds of beer in the meantime – take enough cash with you!
00:45 To get into a tent on the first day, some people start cueing up at about 5 AM, although tents don’t open before 9 AM and beer is served no sooner than 12 PM.
On the following days it is advisable to cue up around 9 AM. Beer is served from 10AM-10:30 PM during the week and from 9 AM-10:30 PM on weekends. Tents are usually open from 10 AM - 11:30 PM.
If tents are closed momentarily, be patient instead of pushy. The bouncers are very rigorous in banning people from the tents.
