ah, Oktoberfest in Hong Kong.. It was the only time in my life I couldn't finish all the beer I had... too much!
very nice scene, I really like the expression of the woman on the left side. and the chinese girl playing this instrmument looks really funny. the guy without head on the side makes the composition interesting. I think it would be better without this person at the back, but I don't mind it that much
nice, natural shot!

Very Funny. A photo with a lot of contrast. Here by I dont mean in the photo, but between the chinese and the german "Beer-culture". The photo has a lot of ambiance and mood. I like the detail with the mans knees and the chinese girl really gives effort to play the horn. Well seen/done.

nice shot marcin. i like the choice of black and white.
my eyes keep looking at the big man that fills half of your frame. not sure if he adds anything to your picture.

A happy shot indeed, I like to see a chinese girl and german one on the shot. Good choice of b&w too.
about the man on the right... I don't really know... Maybe it caricatures german people a bit ;)

This is a great photo. It conveys the different cultures very well, and it is also funny in a way. A great photo of daily life in a foreign country -- the kind of thing I like to see on TE!
