Greetings,
I am hoping to attend Wacken this year, but am not certain that I will be able to make it happen.
That said, I have a question.
People around me seem to react in a similar way: "Alone? Traveling? FESTIVAL? You're a girl! You're going to get mugged! You're going to get raped! You're going to get killed!"
The above is very overblown on their part, quite demeaning, and typically garners a laugh and reassurance from myself. The majority of metalheads that I have encountered have all been such good-natured, helpful people.
I do, however, want to know if truth, in any form, stands genuine. What should I anticipate? I would be a foreigner (U.S. American), near doubtlessly alone, with little (but growing) knowledge of the German language, and with little festival experience attending something of such magnitude as Wacken.
If I camped, would I have to worry about being targeted for theft? Would I have to worry about unwanted attention, harassment, or-- another of their concerns-- awaking to a drunk passed out beside me in my tent?
I am not distressed, merely curious.
If this is the wrong board for such an inquiry, I apologize.
Take care,
- Tuvya
