Oktoberfest in Sri Lanka!

The beer maiden strided by, six one liter towering steins of lager nestled in her arms. Meanwhile, a band played songs in German dressed in Lederhausen. Ah, Oktoberfest in Sri Lanka. While  little bit kitschy it certainly was fun. That, and the very strangely colored Chernobyl green dye that some of the beer had. Sheela and I went there on her Birthday while we met her friend Karmini a fellow Fulbright scholar.

Fun as it was, someone please tell me why did all the Sri Lankans know the lyrics to John Denver’s Take Me Home, Country Roads?
