Feb 26th, 2010 at 4:20PM: Deciding on a top ten list of anything is usually pretty difficult. Unless you're talking about, say, the top ten numbers one through ten... narrowing down and choosing only ten of whatever often takes a great deal of effort.

When it comes to the world of beer, ...Oktoberfest off to a bad start for Aussies
Sep 22nd, 2009 at 2:30PM: Just two days into Germany's Oktoberfest celebration, one Australian man is dead and another in jail. The man who died was running alongside a train close to his campsite outside of Munich after the festival, when he fell underneath the train's wheels.
Another Aussie was arrested just a few hours into the festival, after he threw a beer stein into a crowd and injured two teenagers. Oktoberfest ...Photo of the day 8.31.09
Aug 31st, 2009 at 6:00PM: You know, you can keep your Google Maps and your Mapquest.coms -- one of my favourite things to do when I'm on holiday in a new city is to unfold a crisp, brand-spanking-new street map, and pour over it: noting the places of interest, seeing how far they are from my hotel, and marking the locations of don't-miss spots. Sort of like the subject of arex's photo here, actually. Thanks for sharing ...7 fantastic airport restaurants from around the world
Dec 10th, 2008 at 11:00AM: When I started traveling as a young kid, I was perfectly content with one of the bad cheese sandwiches served on Air UK. Nowadays I'm a little more spoiled, and am often on the lookout for good food on the ground, as many airlines have stopped serving anything decent (or anything at all) once you are on board. Here are 5 airport restaurants from around the world that stand out amongst the usual ...75 years after Dachau opened
Apr 3rd, 2008 at 10:20AM: One of the most somber places I've been in my travels is Dachau. The first time I visited this place of atrocities against humanity was in the middle of winter. Although the day was sunny, the temperature was bitter cold. While reading Jaunted, I found out that March 22 marked the 75th anniversary of when Dachau opened.
This concentration camp was the first in Germany and is responsible for the ...Munich scraps plans to build Transrapid train line
Mar 27th, 2008 at 11:20AM: It's always exciting to build fast and flashy transportation, so when plans were made last fall to build a Transrapid maglev train in Munich, the celebratory champagne flowed. But according to German sources, those plans have now been scrapped, and the high-speed train which was to connect the Munich train station and airport, will no longer materialize. The Transrapid train was to be a magnetic ...Surfing in Munich, Germany
Jan 25th, 2008 at 10:00AM: When I was in Munich, Germany this past October, I heard about a place on the Isar River where you could surf outdoors any time of the year. "Long ago an urban designer placed three rows of rocks in the streambed to create some aesthetic roil," wrote Scott Ostler for the San Francisco Chronicle, "and, voila, Surf City." The bridge overlooking the wave is on Prinzregentenstrasse at the south end ...

And you thought those mugs were indestructible? Flickr user Slake B was at the right place at the right time, and captured this shot of two eager beavers slamming their Hofbräuhaus maß together. The results, as you can see, were unfortunate. You hit them at their bases, dude. Come on! [via]
...How to Eat Weisswurst in Munich
Sep 8th, 2007 at 9:30AM: "It's hard to find a restaurant in the German city that doesn't serve weisswurst," writes Chris Gray, a freelance writer living in Heidelberg, Germany, for World Hum. "But it's said that the white sausages should never hear the noon church bells." If you're heading to Munich for this year's Oktoberfest, there should be no escaping the traditional Bavarian breakfast of weisswurst. But there are ...Video: Carnival Rides at Oktoberfest's Funfair
Sep 7th, 2007 at 2:30PM: If you wander just outside of the massive beer tents during Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany, you'll find the funfair. What's cool about the funfair is all the crazy-looking carnival rides they have. In the United States, carnival rides are usually rusty death traps operated by drunk amputees, but the rides in the video above look absolutely amazing. Not only do they look safe, but I've never seen ...
