Oktoberfest Day 8 - security advice for the ladies - the Italians are here!

Ladies and gentlemen of Steemit, we have almost at half time of this year's Oktoberfest. Today I spent the day with my girls and No Beer Yet lol - we visited the Wiesn to check some entertainment for younger people mainly on Oide Wiesn - it is different compared to the usual Oktoberfest adult day in a beer tent, walking is probably better for your body as drinking tons of Beer.

But coming to the topic of this post. Beer and Fun and Girls is always a huge part of the Festival. This weekend the traditional Italien weekend is taking place with a lot young handsome boys from our favourite country in Europe are joining the party. Germans love Italians not only for food - and it seemsItalians boys like German girls. How many prejudices here I know!

However - on a serious note - especially the ladies should be careful visiting the event, as on every other huge folk festival also sexual harassment and assault is happening. There is an initiative in Munich since 2003 called “Sichere Wiesn für Mädchen und Frauen (Safe Oktoberfest for Girls and Women) that stands up for an enjoyable and carefree visit for every girl and woman at the Oktoberfest.

My wife is supporting that initiative

AS some may know I have ladies at home that are not only driving my days crazy but one is also very active to support initiatives across the city. One campaign she is also supporting in her free time this initiative as many others. The topic is a serious one as a lot is happening on an event where the beer halls open already 9am in the mornings and million son hungry men are hunting on the area - and some can not behave, the influence of too much alcohol is increasing the danger for girls.

Read some Do's and Don'ts

• Considering an event with 600,000 visitors per day it is easy to get lost. Therefore always agree with your friends / family on a meeting point before the visit

• Carry your money, phones, key and other important things on yourself - do not put that into Backpacks or handbags

• When leaving a tent (even you plan to return) take all belongings with you. Sometimes the tent is overcrowded and you might not be able to return.

• Eat something and also consume non-alcoholic drinks in between

• Avoid drink spiking: becoming incapable of action is no fun and it happens every day

• Never walk home alone - assault can also happen on your way back
