Watching the Oktoberfest vlog as someone who has lived in Munich for the past 20 years:

- Tables in the beer tents get booked months in advance because they're so limited and it's one of the first things you would read if you google the Oktoberfest
- It's not outside the center of Munich like Janine said, Theresienwiese (where it takes place) is 10 minutes at most by foot from Central Station or Karlsplatz Stachus
- With their ticket, they could have used public transportation all day in Munich, so they could have easily done some sight seeing after two hours of Oktoberfest instead of just going back to the camp site because like I mentioned, they were already in the city center and a lot of sights would have been in walking distance
- 40 Euro a night is extremely reasonable during Oktoberfest, hotels would be ten times as much especially since they were there on Friday and Saturday when it's super busy
- I'm surprised they didn't go on any rides at the Oktoberfest. Could have filmed great footage from one of the rides that go high up to show it all from obove and give an impression of the scale of things. Or even just walked up the little hill next to the Bavaria statue which gives a great view as well.
- The Spätzle are traditionally served with caramelized onions and a creamy cheese sauce and it was really annoying to see Janine freaked out to try one as if she was about to eat something crazy instead of a noodle
- It's not that hard to look at a weather app and prepare accordingly for the day. No reason to get soaked for two hours.
- They could have gone to the closing ceremony on Sunday morning. It's outside, so no reservations and a real spectacle.

They knew they were going for over a month, so being this ridiculously underprepared makes zero sense. If it's something you will likely only do once in your lifetime, then make it worth the effort.
 
They never research or are prepared for anything they do, not anything! Google is your friend and Youtube also gives you everything you need to know but clearly they don't know how to use these things. They need to have drama, they have to have the drama to make their videos a little bit interesting aswell as boring, as that is what they are getting, very mundane and boring
 
They just don't seem to learn. This is literally all they do and they still can't manage to research anything and just turn up acting as if they were born yesterday then act surprised when things don't automatically go their way and meet their expectations. How have they got this far in life?

That Mike Tyson tattoo was in such bad taste, it's one thing agreeing to something like that when you're drunk and as a spur of the moment thing but to include that footage in the vlog... questionable.
 
Only part way through but, how dumb are they? Surely it was obviously event specific camping when they booked, not a campsite called "Oktoberfest".
Then the green sticker, honestly, most euro countries have had these for some time now!
They can't get the expensive router they bought to work...
Haven't even got to the part where they actually go to the festival yet😆
 
While I understand that drama and clickbait generate views and therefore income, this is still their life they're wasting.
Youtube won't go on forever and they won't always be this mobile, they won't always be able to just travel for months on end and have the additional Youtube income.
So many of these places are a once in a lifetime trip and instead of making it an unforgettable time, they speed through France because they couldn't get a tea and then drive around aimlessly through Luxembourg on a bus because they didn't look up which one to take, just to spend 2 miserable hours at Oktoberfest before chucking down liters of beer at 9am the next morning.
No cultural interest, no interest in nature (you can be in the Alps in under an hour from Munich or stay at the famous lakes just outside the city), no interest in any of the sports events or concerts and festivals.
It's just endless driving and food footage.
 
Are they going to shoot straight off to Romania now? Oktoberfest and the Dracula castle are the only two euro things they mentioned. Will they have planned a route including other places of interest?
Can't believe they wandered round a wet festival in a vegan (plastic) leather jacket and a denim jacket. You could see everyone else came dressed for the weather in water proofs! For a couple who live mainly outdoors they don't own practical clothes at all, Janine walking across the muddy site in white trainers!

If they really are back after just one week on mainland Europe, then I think this will seriously hurt their channel. No one will look forward to then endlessly driving up and down the British motorways again.
Hyping up something for 6 months to your viewers, just to quit a few days in followed up by what I'm sure will be their most dramatic clickbait video yet, will make people lose patience.
