USMEF Oktoberfest in Central Market – 29 October, 2024
Oktoberfest is one of those fun festivals that has been adopted globally. And just as Songkran encourages us to soak others in water, Oktoberfest is an ‘excuse’ for people around the world to have fun and dance on the table…
The US Meat Export Federation hosted a night at Oktoberfest in Central Market on 29 October. The open centre of the market has been converted into a Hong Kong style German Beer Hall including a stage where traditional German music from the Notenhobler’s sets the mood.
There’s a range of traditional German dishes: pork knuckle, pretzels, sauerkraut, apple strudel and some delicious US pork ribs.
After dinner, while enjoying your beer, you can blow the big horn and start the party with some fun games.

Elaine Chow: 14 March, 1986 – 27 October, 2005 – Gone, but Never Forgotten!
In loving memory of Elaine Chow our friend and colleague who in the early hours of the 27 October 2005 committed suicide by stepping off a building. Gone, but never forgotten!
Elaine was a wonderful, vibrant young woman, who brought joy to everyone she met. Our memories of her remain so strong and clear, that beaming smiling face still brings a big smile to my face and a warm glow to my heart even in the darkest of days.
The pain of her death never seems to fade.
RIP Elaine you are deeply missed.
********
Almost 3 people a day, on average, commit suicide in Hong Kong, it’s the unseen killer, if you know someone who’s talking (even jokingly) of it get them help/talk to them.
If you’re thinking of committing suicide, you are not alone – talk to someone first. Suicide scars and destroys those you leave behind.
