Call me a cynic, but for me this is one weekend to avoid LKF - basically it's the weekend where the LKF management try to turn LKF into a sort of mini theme park and entice all the locals who wouldn't normally dream of going there to come along with their families for a good day out looking at the strange things that gweilos get up to.

You know how it feels when the mainland coach parties wander past and go "oooh look! a bunch of white people drinking beer - let's take hundreds of photos"?

Well it's like that for two days solid.

Except that there are also loads of people in silly costumes and face paint and stuff.

So that's what people were talking about... I thought they were just some silly Americans who confused a normal trip to the pub with Oktoberfest, did seem strange what with it only being May.

I slightly agree with PDLM for once though.
