Oktoberfest 2007

Basically Oktoberfest is a two-week festival held each year in Munich, Bavaria, Germany during late Sept & early Oct. It is one of the most famous events in Germany where beer plays a central role and are served in a Bierzelt, a beer tent which is large enough for thousands. Other cities across the world also hold Oktoberfest celebrations, modeled after the Munich event. In S'pore, Oktoberfest was held over 4 days at The Swiss Club, in a similar tent & long bench setting.

Attended my first Oktoberfest on Friday night with colleagues and Gerald came along too since all staffs and spouse are given free tiks. Simply loved the atmosphere.. people standing on tables & benches to sing and dance along with the band.. Especially good to see some colleagues (who are usually pretty stony in office) let their hair down and party.

There's free flow of food.. simply loved the crispy but sinful pork knuckles and the rich chocolate pudding. Yummy! We were also given drinks coupon so we had 2 mugs of Erindger beer each. As usual, my face turned red after all the drinking so pictures have been censored.. hehe
