Guten aben.

Starting in Copenhagen, Denmark to see my wife's ancestral walking grounds. Then heading to Berlin for 2 days and then Munich for 4 days and Oktoberfest. We will be meeting up with my papa and his wife to enjoy the festivities and the city. This is the trip of a lifetime for us. My family's ancestral records only goes back a couple generations due to poor record keeping. Our family literally hired a private investigator to try and find where in Germany we're from but turned up diddly squat. (we paid the guy 5k and all we got was a stupid poster display of his minimal findings)

So, my dad and I decided to intentionally appropriate Munich's culture as our heritage and plan to assimilate as much as possible. I know that might sound silly, but I get jealous of people who know where they're from and then I say, "Why not me?"

Anyway, I"m just looking to have an awesome experience with my family. I dread annoying anyone while we're there so I want to be prepared as possible so I don't have to ask for help.

(I hope I don't annoy anyone on Reddit either)

There are a few things I am looking for specifically and I would be grateful for a push in the right direction.

-We are looking for historical locations in Berlin and Munich. The older the better.

-A good place to get a beer and play pool.

-Record Stores

I imagine the festival will have plenty to do in Munich but we are going to make a special trip to Spatenbrau. They make my favorite beer: Optimator!

Danke schon for any help and I hope you all have a good night!

Min kone (af dansk afstamning) og jeg skal være i København den anden uge i september. Har nogen brug for, at jeg medbringer noget fra USA?
Det er en stor ting for hende; at vende tilbage til sine rødder. Det ville være fedt at tale med en, der bor der, for at få en bedre idé om logistik og kultur. Send en privat besked, hvis du har nogle råd :)
I apologize for any grammar errors. I am only fluent in google translate. Lol. Cheers!
