Oktoberfest in Spain
How weird is this. I’m German, love beer but just went to my very first Oktoberfest ….. in Valencia, Spain. What a weird experience. The beer tent was put up right in the center of a bullfight arena.

Great Hostel in Lisbon: Alfama Patio Hostel
Romantic Lisbon – is so worth a visit. Charming hilly streets with yellow trams busting through. No other European can offer this.
The Alfama Patio belongs to one of the best hostels in Lisbon because of it’s location, price and of course it’s Patio:

In our hostel we have shared dormitories with 4 and 6 beds and shared bathroom. We have one six bed dorm with private bathroom. As well we have two double rooms with shared bathroom, but with balcony and very nice view to the river and Alfama district. We can accomodate at this moment 36 persons, but we are still growing...Our rooms are very sunny and most of them have balconies.
Girls don´t worry! Mirror in every room! Small lights and box for your small personal stuff available for every bed. Our rooms are mostly decorated in eclectic style - modern mixed with antique things.
Location Information
Some of the most visited monuments are at walking distance: Lisbon Castle, Se Cathedral, National Pantheon, S. Vicente Fora Monastery and many more.
Even today, as in the past, white clothes hang at the windows to dry, colorful flowers sit on ledges and legendary yellow trams wind their way up Lisbon's narrow streets.
Our hostel has a private grass courtyard with barbecue and hammocks, and a terrace with stunning views over the Alfama district, the Tagus River and the S. Vicente de Fora Church and Monastery.
We have a very familiar atmosphere and we are friendly. You will immediately feel like home. We will help you plan your stay and guide you through the city’s hot spots. You will not miss the best that Lisbon offers.Alfama Patio Hostel is definitely the right place for you! Though we like to have fun, we are not mainly a party hostel (even if we are having our world famous barbecue party every Saturday). Our aim is to provide a quiet and relaxed atmosphere in the hostel, so if you’d like to party after midnight, it is possible to go to the clubs and bars nearby.

Best Carry On Suitcase
This is awesome – I have checking my luggage and I my checking in suitcases disappeared too many times.
This carry on holds an entire weekend's worth of clothes yet folds to merely 3" thick for unobtrusive storage. A patented accordion frame expands and folds in seconds; simply press a button on the frame to engage or release the hinges and the frame opens and closes with ease. When open, the carry on has a 1,560" Cu. main compartment that allows you to quickly pack and remove travel items.
An integrated garment carrier accommodates a full suit and dress shirt and keeps delicate garments separate from the contents of the main compartment, and eight smaller pockets keep travel items organized. The frame is made from durable fiberglass that can support up to 100 lbs., and the 1680-denier ballistic nylon exterior resists tears, punctures, and water. Four wheels, a telescoping handle, and the carry on's streamlined rectangular shape allow you to easily navigate aisles and terminals.
