Switzerland was one of my favorite places. I have never had experiences such as the ones I had in Interlaken. I will remember everything about Switzerland for the rest of my life. My roommate Amber and I took a bus, through a company called Bus2Alps, to Interlaken. It was about an 8 hour ride that was not as bad as it sounds.

We stayed at a very nice hotel just a minute from the train station, so that was very convenient. When we got there, we freshened u...

Beer. Beer.Beeeeeeer! Oktoberfest 2008 was pretty awesome. For those you who don't know, Oktoberfest in Munich is the biggest festival in the world. Not only is it the biggest festival in the world, but is the biggest beerfest in the world! Needless to say, we went to Oktoberfest to drink…and drink we did.
