I expected to see plenty of fellow kilt wearers but saw none. These games have been a fixture for 50 years up there and you'd think people were used to it but I got the oddest looks when I went inside the restaurants. (Especially the Mexican place. They didn't quite know what to make of me!) I live a couple of hours away and this general area just isn't very accepting of kilts right now. It must be ze fact dat dis ist a German town, yah?
It's okay with me if people only want to wear their kilt at a festival. That's their right. What really amazes me is these same people will go out of their way to change out of their kilt when leaving the event to go out to a restaurant. That makes no sense to me.
