Beer drinkers in Munich in traditional costume

Beer drinkers in Munich in traditional costume
. . . I think a very good symbol of this new Germany is the Octoberfest. Twenty years ago nobody there would dress in the traditional Bavarian costume. Now everybody does it and it doesn’t seem either nationalistic or jingoistic. The Oktoberfest, with its enormous number of beer consumers, is a wonderful example of the new Germany tht combines iconic tradition with open-mindedness. It brings people and peoples together more even than football. It is not nationalistic -- it is now symbol of German hospitality ~ Peter Peter (Page 188)
