Oktoberfest 2012 Gathering in Munich

A group of about 30 of us including spouses, children and students met up during the Oktoberfest Gathering in Munich on Sunday, 30 September 2012.  Our usual meeting place is in the Schützenfestzelt which is near to the Bavaria Statue.  This year's Oktoberfest celebration is combined with the Tag der Deutsche Einheit or Deutsche Wiedervereinigung celebration which Munich is hosting on 3 October!  Prost!

Prost!

Kaiserschmarrn, a delicious dessert which one should try!
A Singaporean couple on holiday also joined in the fun!

Kay: Thanks, yours too! 




Overseas Singaporean Club

Do you all know about the Overseas Singaporean Club?  It is a way of being connected with the international Singaporean community, but in this case through the Overseas Singaporean Unit rather than the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and may therefore be more relevant to our requirements.

Register here - it is free and you will get a membership card which entitles you to benefits worldwide that the OSU has negotiated with various establishments.
