'Chinese New Year' or '春节' (Chūn Jié) the 'Spring Festival' as it is actually called, was just around the corner. The festival is something like Christmas in Europe. Everyone finally has a week off and goes to visit their dear relatives at the other end of China.
But it is also the time of the 'Christmas parties'. These are held in very different settings, from department to division to the whole company. On this Thursday, I was invited to a division party.
For a good party, the following ingredients are needed here: a lot, a lot to eat, just as much to drink, and karaoke! We found this bouquet of amenities in a Mongolian restaurant in Kunshan. In a separate room with a TV and karaoke system, the feast began. Besides a baked lamb! There were various 'hot pots' and side dishes.
Yellow wine, yellow beer, and white tea, mainly for the women, were served to quench the thirst.
The continuous karaoke training seems to be paying off. No one besides me sang off-key. Around eight or eight-thirty, it seemed that the tapped beer ran out, and cans were delivered. Wheat beer was proudly explained to us! Ok... Apart from the can, the presentation was really well done. It was 'brewed according to the German Purity Law' and, of course, imported from Germany, because it's the good old 'Blroer' after all! 😅😅😅
A very successful evening!
