What is Schutzenfest????
It's a "shooting festival" which is celebrated by German towns since the medieval times.
So lets start with a "warm and friendly" entrance welcome!!
Hahaha, nothing much to look at; not even balloons..... hmmmmm....
Well, we took a bus here, cus we were gonna drink. (Don't drink and drive). There would be police around the area breath testing all drivers for alcohol content. Getting license suspended ain't fun!! =)
Next critic:
From the infomation website "Adelaide's Bonython Park comes alive with the sounds of Oompah music, dancing from Bavarian and Black Forrest regions of Germany, and also from neighbouring Austria."
Erm... how or what should I say about this comment? Saw the aliveness of the place, heard the music, but didn't see and dances going round.. =)
Next comes the fun part!!! Like the rest of my blogging events: Food comes next!!!!
I had a schnizel burger first, but didn't have enough hands to take photo, on top of that I was too hungry to bother taking any too... =) hahaha ... Yes I pigged out a little that day, to the next menu ----->
This seriously makes me feel like Obelix; especially the second pork hog, crispy roasted pork, yummmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!! Now I need to find Dogmatix to give the bones to..teeheehee
From this (pork hog from 2 different tents):
To this (pig bones):
And wash it all down with Cider (Taste fantastic)
*Burrrrrrrppp!*
=P oops, excuse me!
After the food, where did I head off??? Well it is Schutzenfest!!! so it's of to some shooting!!
Adapted from brochure: "Competitive shooting is one of the main features of Schutzenfest because good marksmanship was essential defence of medival towns."
Well, the picture of me shooting is in D's camera, well, I have the "Aiming point paper" as proof.. hahaha, Guys are known as King and Gals are known as Queen.
Well, as you can see, my aiming is wayyyyyy off... hahhaa Only 1 bullet hit the actual black score sheet. If you notice anything odd or funny: There's one target, which doesn't even have a hole in it, that's because the bullet went off when it was still on the table =P.. hahaha The gun was too heavy and the trigger was just too sensitive. slight touch caused it to fire away!...=P
Ahhhhh... don't you just love competition??? here we have the Schuzenfest: Strong Arm Beer Stein Lifting Competition.
Here we have 10 "strong" men trying to lift a stein of beer (one litre) as long as possible. Then it was the women's turn. Rules: you have to hold the beer at shoulder length for as long as you can. In Adelaide, the men's record so far is 35 minutes and the women's is 25 minutes.
How to finish this wonderful day??? By sculling down a stein of cold German beer!!!!!! Getting a good tan (and I overburn my shoulders =P) Cheers to Schutzenfest!!!!
PS: Cute hat eh!!! I got it for $10... hahaha...
