Ok, let me make one thing clear from the start - certain things just seem odd in Bangalore. I should not be able to get a better Cheese Steak sandwich in Bangalore than Indiana - but I can. Indian 20-somethings should not know all the words to popular Queen, Rush, Hendrix, and Pink Floyd songs (when my own teenager doesn't) - but they do. And Bangalore should not put on a very good Oktoberfest - but it did. Now, it was not perfect - some Indians seemed to confuse Oktoberfest and Halloween (or maybe the merging was intentional). Also, the Indian organizer seemed to have a misconception about what constitutes fun at Oktoberfest - 4 pages of speech is NOT what the revelers wanted. Other than that, it was an interesting, entertaining, and enjoyable night.
Oh, pet peeve time. Why would any semi-intelligent adult think that bringing children (ranging from infants up to about 12) to an Oktoberfest party would be a good idea? There may be people in the US who would do this as well, but I don't know any. Maybe I am just sheltered.
