🎄🎅✨ With Christmas fast approaching, we’re feeling the holiday spirit here at the office. Tomorrow, December 24th, is a special day for Germans, as it marks the celebration of "Heiligabend"—Christmas Eve. 🥔🌭 Unlike in many countries, where Christmas Day is the main event, Germans traditionally come together on Christmas Eve. The celebrations typically begin with a simple meal—often featuring sausages and a hearty potato salad. 🎶🙏 After dinner, families gather around the Christmas tree to exchange gifts, which are often placed under the tree earlier in the day. The moment of gift-giving is often preceded by a short Christmas service or song, bringing everyone together in the spirit of joy and gratitude. Did you know this about German Christmas traditions? 🎄🎅✨ 隨著聖誕節的腳步臨近,我們的辦公室也充滿了節日的氣氛。明天,12月24日,對德國人來說是個特別的日子,因為這一天是「平安夜」(Heiligabend)的慶祝時刻。不像許多國家將聖誕節當天視為主要活動日,德國人通常在平安夜歡聚一堂。 🥔🌭 慶祝活動通常以一頓簡單的餐點開始,這頓餐點常包括香腸和一道豐富的馬鈴薯沙拉。晚餐後,家人們會圍坐在聖誕樹旁交換禮物,這些禮物往往在當天稍早便被放置在聖誕樹下。 🎶🙏 在交換禮物的時刻前,通常會舉行一場簡短的聖誕禮拜或唱頌聖誕歌曲,讓每個人沉浸在歡樂與感恩的氛圍中。這個充滿魔力的夜晚,洋溢著溫馨、珍貴的傳統與家人團聚的感覺! 你知道這些關於德國聖誕傳統的事情嗎? #PartnerInTaiwan #Heiligabend #GermanChristmasTraditions

👋 Meet our new DEinternational Taiwan Ltd. Market Entry Service Intern, Sönke Carsten Rühmann! Sönke is currently pursuing a double master’s degree in Chinese Language and Translation at the The University of Bonn and Beijing. This is not his first time in Taiwan—Sönke spent a semester at the MTC in Taipei in 2019-2020 and was captivated by the city’s vibrant culture and Taiwan’s stunning natural beauty. His favorite thing about Taiwan? The variety! From Taipei’s bustling urban life to tranquil beaches and hiking trails just a few hours away, Sönke loves the diversity the island has to offer. As part of his master’s thesis, Sönke is translating a Taiwanese historical novel into German, making his time here even more meaningful as he explores local museums and dives deeper into the culture. During his internship, he is excited to gain insights into market research and event organization, exploring how these fields intersect with his passion for language and translation. Fun fact: Sönke finds relaxation and inspiration in embroidery, a craft he describes as both calming and creatively fulfilling—much like his passion for language and culture! Welcome to the team, Sönke! 🌍 👋 認識我們新的 DEinternational Taiwan Ltd. 市場進入服務實習生,Sönke Rühmann! Sönke 目前在波昂大學和北京大學攻讀中文語言與翻譯的雙碩士學位。其實這並不是他第一次來台灣!Sönke 曾於2019-2020年在台北的MTC上一學期的課,並深深受到台灣的活力文化和台灣壯麗自然景觀所吸引。他最喜歡台灣的什麼呢?沒錯,就是多樣性!從台北繁忙的都市生活到幾小時車程外的寧靜海灘與山步道,Sönke 非常喜歡台灣所擁有的豐富多彩面貌。 作為碩士論文的一部分,Sönke 正在將一本台灣的歷史小說翻譯成德語版本,這讓他的台灣之行更加有意義。因為他在台灣的博物館中參觀探索並深入了解台灣的文化。在實習期間,他期待能深入了解市場研究與活動組織,並探索這些領域如何與他對語言與翻譯的熱情融合。 關於Sönke的有趣事情:Sönke 在刺繡中找到放鬆和靈感的來源,這項手工藝既讓他感到寧靜,也富有創意,就讓他對語言和文化的熱忱! 歡迎加入我們的團隊,Sönke !🌍 #PartnerInTaiwan #MeetOurIntern
