Oktoberfest happens every year in HK. It's in a tent in the car park of the Marco Polo hotel on Kowloon side, and it's absolutely amazing. As for the attendance, 30% were expats and 70% were Hong Kongers, according to my estimate. Beer, sausage, strudel -- and, for the entertainment, a band FLOWN in from Munich who run games and contests, encourage call-and-response chains and dancing on long wooden benches....it's phenomenal.
It sure is a great "tradition."

Me, Joe and Bobby with the steins we got to KEEP.
This was the view from the car park. Off to the left there's a cruise ship docked. I definitely saw some passengers dancing on the deck.
This is the first electric car "home-grown" in HK. It costs 97,000 HKD and I attended its launch on Friday. Story forthcoming.
Oh, and for those of you who want to read my stories, check out my Twitter feed, where I have posted them all (except most of the market wraps, since they are pretty standard): www.twitter.com/hanaralberts.
