ADVENT,ADVENTein.............

Its the time of the year again,where the days get shorter,the weather gets colder and everyone drink Gluehwein- at least in the northern places of Europe.
For Singapore there is not much change in seasons - exept for all the Christmas lights and decorations flooding Orchard Road.
Oh stop! I forgot there is another place where the feeling of Christmas is in the air.
Erich's WUERSTELSTAND in chinatown.
As a matter of tradition 1st. Advent is celebrated with good friends and a few drinks. this year the 1st.Advent party was held on its eve. Being a Saturday it suited best to have the next day to rest and relax- at least for the participants and not so much for Erich- who relaxes everyday :)
 

 

 Ho,Ho,Ho, here comes the fun......

and have a happy Xmas season

AUSTRIAN NATIONAL DAY CELEBRATION

Singapore 25th October 2012
This year's National Day of Austria celebration was held one day earlier, because 26. Oct. is a public holiday (Hari Raya Haji) in Singapore.
Nevertheless it was a grand occassion held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel Singapore, a long tradition of the Austrian Embassy and the community at large.
The food has been superb and the preparation has been overlooked by Gotfried Schuetzenberger to ensure the food is prepared according to original Austrian recipes.
The absolute highlight was the Goulasch and the Sachertorte.

A big thank you to all the hands involved to make this celebration such an memorable one.

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY TO ALL AUSTRIANS AROUND THE WORLD
