On October 6, the Department of German Studies held the annual cultural event OKTOBERFEST. Held at the Chueh Hsuan Chinese Gardens on the TKU Tamsui Campus, the event was essentially a costume party that featured imported German beer, authentic German snacks and live renditions of traditional German folk dancing.

The organizer of the event, third year Department of German student Wang Hsuan-yu commented “apart from importing various kinds of German beer, we’re also providing attendees with delicious German snacks, as we hope to bring a taste of German culture here to the Tamsui Campus.”

The OKTOBERFEST activities concluded with a German trivia quiz, in which the winner was awarded a giant pretzel. The lucky pretzel recipient, Peng Ci-ting, exclaimed “I’m going to be eating this thing for an entire week!”
