Nachtwanderung

Nacht means night, wanderung means hike or walking-tour. Together, it means a pub crawl. Last week, I went to a Nachtwanderung organized by a student organization in Dresden. This was very well organized. 14 bars/clubs were linked by chartered buses (coming every 5-10 minutes) that looped around to each of the establishments.

I went with a coworker, an ex-coworker, and a bunch of their friends. It was definitely a good time. Perhaps too good of a time (my head wasn't feeling so well the next day). But I was very amazed at the organization and the turnout. And as I predicted with an event like this, the buses were madness at around 11pm, when everyone had a lot to drink. I learned that the Germans have their own version of the "Hail to the bus driver" song, which I'm sure the bus drivers enjoyed very much (I wouldn't be surprised if they were sneaking some whiskey themselves).
