“But if you want to experience the greatest of the greatest so it is of course Rio de Janeiro to visit. Johan believes that the major advantage of Rio is that you get the whole colorful, plymvajande festive spectacle. The downside is that you are only a spectator. There are many sambaskolor who want to show off their skills and it gives you a large space for the public to be with. “
” If you go up to Olinda or Fortaleza in the northeast are much more participants, yourself and dance on the streets and eating grilled cheeses and Caipirinhan flowing. In addition, is brassarna immensely pleasant to hang out with and easy to talk with. They have always in mind that people dance a little bit wacky, ” says Johan Gunnarsson. “

The party is held at the Theresienwiese every year. The festival has, of course, a big focus on beer, where the eight largest breweries have their own large tent. The gratuity of seven million litres of beer during the oktoberfest. “
“– In the middle between the tents are a great ”pompapompa”-orchestra running monotonous all the time. And the waitresses and the waiters certainly has the world’s strongest hands they carry five, seven beer glasses in each hand, ” says Johan Gunnarsson, who has visited the festival several times. “
“But even if the music is central, so is not so much focus on dance and movement in Munich, the party is more about the beer and food. “
” it– It’s very very sedentary at the Oktoberfest, but it is super nice. You eat the pretzels, a type of pretzel, and so you eat bratwurst and sauerkraut.”
