Munich Mayor Christian Ude ordered the tapping of the first beer barrel, the ritual kick-off for the 174th edition of the party. The festivities are held at Theresienwiese, a 31-hectare (12.4 acre) park with 14 large tents where drinkers, many wearing traditional Bavarian costumes, take their spots at long wooden tables. In line with tradition, the first mass, or litre, was served to the minister-president of Bavaria, Edmund Stoiber, who is set to leave office at the end of the month after 14 years in his post. Last year more than six million litres (13 million pints) of beer were drunk. The event also generated nearly a billion euros (1.4 billion dollars) for the Bavarian capital, with 450 million coming directly from the festival and 300 million earned through hotels, which are always packed for the occasion. 9/22/2007 9:47:21 PMhttp://www.detroitfashionpages.com/culture/culture-263.aspPARIS (AFP) -After fetching record prices in Australia, Aboriginal art is carving out a place on the art market in France, spurred by the opening last year of Paris' Quai Branly museum of tribal arts. 9/16/2007 9:10:38 PMhttp://www.detroitfashionpages.com/culture/culture-253.aspFRANKFURT (AFP) -Volkswagen's luxury car division Bentley wants to make its models more environmentally friendly and to edge closer to proposed EU limits, the financial daily Handelsblatt reported Friday, citing Bentley head Franz-Josef Paefgen. 9/15/2007 10:37:11 PMhttp://www.detroitfashionpages.com/culture/culture-250.aspNAIROBI (AFP) -A Kenyan woman's best chances of marrying depend on her having education but not too much money, and being well-built, an opinion poll disclosed Saturday shows. 9/9/2007 10:43:22 PMhttp://www.detroitfashionpages.com/culture/culture-242.aspTOKYO (AFP) -Japanese mobile phones already let users shoot films and share them with friends.
