I’d like to tell you some trivia of Oktoberfest. In passing, not O'c'toberfest but O'k'toberfest.
Do you know how many people come to Germany and how much alcohol is drunk? I’m going to talk about “Numbers of Oktoberfest” in 2007.
・Visitors were more than 6 million.
・Beer was about 7 million liters
(It is included more than one hundred twenty thousand liters non-alcoholic.)
・Wine was about 80 thousand liters.
・Chickens were more than five hundred thousand units.
・Pork sausages were about one hundred fifty thousand pairs.
How big!! Can you imagine how big this festival is?

Next, I’d like to talk about “Oktoberfest in Japan.” The first Oktoberfest in Japan is started in universities like Kobe German Gakuin University, and Tokyo and Yokohama German Gakuen School. Several decades later, it became to be held to general people in Japan; for example, in Yokohama, Fukuoka, Hibiya, Matsumoto, Jouetsu, Sendai and Shimizu.

I don’t like beer, but when I overcome and become to love it, I’d like to visit Oktoberfest in Japan and Germany.
