On the 17th January 2009, RAC Singapore West organized a project under International Service. Assisted by Rotarians, we had 3 speakers out of which 2 were Rotarians from Germany and one was our fellow guest, Edward, who had work in Germany for 3 years.
That night, we had many different kinds of German sausages such as pork sausages, veal sausages and many more. These sausages were prepared in different styles such as added with pepper sauce and added in salad. And to spice up the mood, German mustard was used as a dip and pretzels were brought.
Apart from the food, we shared the different working culture between Singapore and Germany. That gave us an idea of how people work and how different we were. Also, the different cultures of bringing up of kids were shared. For instance in Germany, at the age of 18, the kids was encouraged by the government and family to move out on their own.
The event was a great success. However, these would not have happen without the help from the Rotarians who had sponsored the sausages, mustard, beers and many more. On behalf from RAC west, we would like to thank all the Rotarians and guests who had turn up for the night for providing the information which make us understand more about Germany.
