Therefore, you should have immediately bought a plane ticket to Munich.

Though I would have loved to do that, time constraints and the responsibilty for other classes keep me from doing that. There's plenty of German culture in Cincinnati anyway. The second largest Oktoberfest in the world is held here, there's a sister-city organization between Cinci and Munich, and there are a few German restaurants and such here. It's even German Heritage Month at the Cinci Public Library.
