after yesterday’s elections in the german ‘state’ of bavaria the CSU first time in the existence of the german federal republik lost their governing mayority. still, as seen on the above map, there is not much of a variety in the outcome.

for our us-american friends: in bavaria its the blue guys who are conservatives…

and here is one on percentage for each county. the darker, the more conservative.

Dear lovers and haters of Bavaria,

just when Oktoberfest is about to hit the fan (why in september, anyways?), this excellent documentary ‘Rampenfest’ by Jeff Schultz gives us a profound introduction into the south-eastern life in Germany. Enjoy!
