Octoberfest Videos

Munich (German: Muenchen) is the capital city of Bavaria, the largest federal state of Germany (by area - not by population). Within the city limits, Munich has a population of more than 1.3 million, making it the third most populous city in Germany. The urban area, which sprawls on the foothills of the Alps, has a population of about 2.7 million. Munich is noted for its architecture and culture, and the annual Oktoberfest beer celebration is world famous. Munich's cultural scene is second to none in Germany, with the museums even considered by some to outrank Berlin in quality. Many travelers to Munich are absolutely stunned by the quality of the architecture. Although it was heavily damaged by allied bombing during World War II, many of its historic buildings have been rebuilt and the city center appears mostly as it did in the late 1800s. City Center (Marienplatz/Isartor/Karlsplatz/Odeonsplatz)- The city center is made up largely of the Karlsplatz (also known as Stachus by the locals) and the pedestrian shopping zone that leads down to Marienplatz square, which are the main tourist hangouts. However, for ease of use, the areas directly around these squares should be included in the city center. The city center is usually defined as the area within the old walled city, now most distinctly recognizable by the traffic loop known as the Altstadtring, although there are many portions of the historical walls still visible. Most notable are of course the gates at Stachus, Isartor and Sendlingertor (all located at U-Bahn/S-Bahn stations).

The best way to travel around Munich is the Tram (streetcar), bus and U-Bahn (subway) system. For connections to the suburbs use the S-Bahn. You can get individual, group, day and week tickets. The metro (U-Bahn) stations are signed with a white capital U on a blue background. To go to the suburbs or the airport, use the S-Bahn, signed with a white S on green background. All lines come together in a tunnel in central Munich. The Munich MVV website has maps of the U-Bahn and the S-Bahn network that shows the zones and rings, and maps of the ParkRide car parks attached to U-bahn stations (under the Pläne menu), as well as timetables. The official urban rail network map is indispensable. Single trips in a single zone such as the city center cost €2.30, but the four-zone journey from the airport is a whopping €9.20. Thus, if you arrive at the airport and intend to explore Munich by the public system, the best option is to buy a €10.00 Gesamtnetz whole-network day ticket. This ticket will let you travel to and from the airport and all the S-Bahn and U-Bahn stops, as well as on the buses. A day ticket is worth buying if you plan to take more than two trips on the same day. It's available in single person and group (Partner) versions, the latter for up to five adults traveling together, and is valid until 6AM the next morning. More at: www.travelchanneltv.com

Bryan and Chris review Sam Adam's Annual Octoberfest brew in this episode of Beer is Tasty. They continue their theme of pairing the beer with a "typical" bachelor breakfast food item. This week: Pancake and Sausage ON A STICK. Distributed by Tubemogul.

Die extralange Sommerpause ist vor ber - und die zweite Staffel von ersatz.TV beginnt. Mit Geheul. Und zwar Sirenengeheul. Wusstet Ihr, dass in vielen Gemeinden gar keine M glichkeit mehr besteht, ein Warnsignal abzugeben, das wirklich fast jeder mitbekommt? Nach diesem etwas unheimlichen Thema f hren wir Euch ber das Oktoberfest und zeigen seine liebenswerten Seiten - die findet man zum Beispiel in den historischen Schaustellerbetrieben. Anschlie end beleuchten wir im Gespr ch mit dem Physiker Dr. Ernst Hofmeister die Anf nge der Mikroelektronik und zeigen auch, was daraus wurde. Das Interview gibt es demn chst auch in voller L nge zum Download auf www.ersatz.tv Die neue Staffel zeichnen wir wie angek ndigt nicht mehr im Studio auf und hoffen, dass Euch die Anmutung genauso gut gef llt wie uns. Au erdem ndern wir die Erscheinungsweise - es gibt jetzt einmal im Monat eine neue Folge, damit wir nicht berlastet zusammenbrechen. Daf r wollen wir jede Episode auch in einer 720p-Fassung zum Download anbieten, also im "kleinen" HD-Format. Allerdings vervierfacht das die Datenmenge, so dass wir die HD-Fassung der ersten Folge ebenfalls etwas versp tet nachliefern. Etwa 300 MB wird das File gro sein - da dauert der Upload zum Hoster eine Weile, weshalb wir das jetzt mal hintanstellen. Sch n, dass Ihr wieder dabei seid - viel Spa ! PS: Wenn Ihr uns ganz direkt unterst tzen wollt, deckt Euch mit unseren tollen Merchandising-Artikeln ein! Den Link zum Shop gibt's auf www.ersatz.tv ersatz.TV findet Ihr auf www.ersatz.tv und bei iTunes!
