Oktober Fest Parade

Hallo, So happy I became a weekender again, people! Was going to Munich to see the opening of Oktober Fest 2015 at Theresienwiese last weekend. These pictures I took on Sunday and luckily I was an early bird and got the first line so I could see the parade without blockage. Different from Saturday as I came too late, not so in the morning so I only can see people's back and head. What a pity, indeed. No matter as I'm able to capture some moments over there finally. Enjoy the pics!

I like this kind of clothes. It's so Bavaria.

Nice lady on the big horse

Poor the horses are with no diaper :D They had poo everywhere

Middle age costumes from Mindelheim, the closest city to Markt Wald where I live

German flag

It was on Saturday when The Oktober Fest has not open yet

Journey of Life

It's been almost six months I've been in Germany. As I get older and stay longer here, I learn lot of things. I personally feel the impact when I enter the culture, so much different with mine. No matter how good I am prepared and even I think I am adaptive to new surroundings, still, there are many things I couldn't find in 'books'. Differences in unwritten rules and also nonverbal communication play a big part. It's so stressful, even depressed, sometimes I break down in tears.. moreover the country I'm moving to is totally foreign and sooo different with my own. Very challenging!

Right now.. I really miss my family especially my Mom so badly. I really run out of ways to overcome homesickness except writing, writing, and writing.. anything that can heal my bad feeling. I keep myself busy and moving to discover new things. 

So now please take a deep breathe, Dear Lisan. Be proactive in creating your new life everyday. It will be a half way to go. Enjoy your time here before it's over. Du schaffst!

Life is not meant to be lived in one place :)
