Nottingham student, Adam E. Smith, is in training for the Nottingham Beer Festival 2005. His preparations have taken to him to Munich.
The lavish wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Theresa was held in Munich in 1810.
The guests enjoyed with horse-racing, shooting matches and a funfair but at that time no beer was served.
Yet somehow this celebration evolved into Oktoberfest, Munich's huge beer festival in September. Oktoberfest is known as the world largest festival and seven million guests visit the 31- hectare site. Revellers at Oktoberfest must reach the site early morning to get one of the 100,000 seats in a so-called 'beer tent.' Each of 14 tents are decorated with their distinctive decoration and music.
People enjoy drinking beer, listening and singing the music and chatting away to other drinkers. They repeat "Prost! Prost!" ("Cheers!") The party atmosphere continue through the afternoon and into the night.

Itoman, Okinawa prefecture marked on Saturday the 62nd anniversary of the end of WWⅡ battle in which more than 200,000 people died, including civilians in mass suicides. The anniversary came a day after the Okinawa Prefectual Assembly urged the central government to cut its instruction to publishers to play down in historical textbooks Japanese military's responsibility to the mass suicides. As Okinawa Gov. Hirokazu Nakaima said in a message, people in Okinawa, which was the only inhabited part of Japan to see ground fighting during the war, feel the strong responsibility to foster peace-wishing mind and to try to create lasting peace in the world. More than a quater of the 450,000 inhabitants of Okinawa died in the battle: Some civilians killed themselves. The survivors say that they were forced to do so, and at that time, being a prisoner of war was considered shameful in Japan. In March, the Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Minister told publishers of high school history textbooks to reword the expressions which indicate the responsibility of the military to the mass suicides of civilians.

Japan is looking to bioethanol as a way not to depend on imported energy, at the same time, cut emissions as required under the Kyoto Protocol. Bioethanol is an alcohol made by fermenting organic matter, typically corn, sugar cane, wheat rice, in a process similar to brewing beer. This attractive new source for energy-hungry Japan cut greenhouse gas emissions to 6 percent below 1990 levels under the Kyoto protocol. The rapidly growing demand causes driving up the market price of the sugar cane and corn for food in Brazil and America, the two biggest bioethanol producers, because of the shortage of those products. And more, there are still many problems on bioethanol. Japan try to improve them and is needed to find a new technology for a new energy to reduce gas emissions and solve the problem of substitute for fuel.
