Munich high-end show 2016: Who here is going?

"Third World"
From Wikipedia
The "three worlds" of the Cold War era, as of the period between April 1975 (the fall of Saigon) and August 1975 (the communist takeover in Laos).[citation needed]
First World: United States, United Kingdom and their allies.
Second World: Soviet Union, China, and their allies.
Third World: neutral and non-aligned countries.
The term Third World arose during the Cold War to define countries that remained non-aligned with either NATO, or the Communist Bloc. The United States, Western European nations and their allies represented the First World, while the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, and their allies represented the Second World. This terminology provided a way of broadly categorizing the nations of the Earth into three groups based on social, political, cultural and economic divisions. The Third World was normally seen to include many countries with colonial pasts in Africa, Latin America, Oceania and Asia. . . .

By "Third World food" I mean the cuisines of Third World countries.
Ron,
I fail to understand how the Alfred Sauvy concept of "Tiers Monde" can be applied to cuisines, particularly when addressing Bavarian food.
just give ron a big sausage in the morning and i am sure he will be happy.. nothing 3rd world about that
I guess he only likes GMO enhanced/hormone/prion infested/radiation infused/pesticide laden "food"?
ROTFLMAO
This post is an example of the gratuitous and inappropriate sarcasm which has caused people to lose interest in WBF. This thread is about WBF members going to the high-end show in Munich. Your post adds nothing to that subject.
I will be visiting as well this year. We was not ready in time to exhibit our Phison Audio Products. So that will be next year. But i will be there the 5. and 6. of may.
Funny, I found your original post offensive and condescending. If you can't see that, I can't help you. Apparently I was not the only one who found your comment STRANGE.
I visited BMW World yesterday and find it to be a great venue for an event for WBF members
Take a look at the dedicated lines coming from the power distribution panel
Nothing like this in a MOC demo porta cabin
After Easter, food quotes should be coming

München is one of my favorite cities in Europe too. Had a lovely time there during Oktoberfest. Was there with my boss and two other people from another company we were meeting, one of whom spoke decent German. He took us to one of the biergartens asking directions from locals along the way. I had my camera with me so I went taking pictures of people dancing on tables, and the local culture. They sat there and downed gallons of beer. I get back and all three are wasted! We decide to leave and come out to the streets and it is dark and not a single person there. I only have a vague, general idea of the direction of the hotel. Wondered around for half hour not getting to the hotel. Fortunately we finally ran into a pedestrian. Boy did I think my lucky stars that he spoke great English! With his directions we made it to our hotel. I was the hero the next day as they were amazed that I managed to get their stumbling behinds back to their rooms!

Great story...which year were you there for Oktoberfest?
The official website for the show has a list of hotels which are close enough to MOC to be serviced by show shuttle buses.
