Lucia Celebration 2016

December 2nd CITO made a (quite early) Lucia performance on NCTU. We started by performing on the administration meeting of NCTU. After that we held another performance in our office. We also served everyone who watched traditional Swedish Christmas sweets. We hope you all enjoyed the performance, even though the high pitched notes of “Tipp tapp” gave us a bit of trouble!

Cinnamon Bun Day 2016

On November 30th, CITO arranged a Cinnamon Bun Day event where a literal mountain of cinnamon buns was consumed. Other than the eating of cinnamon buns, some Swedish words were taught to the guests of the event. We are so happy that so many people showed up, and would like to thank everyone who attended the event! Stay tuned for more updates and events from us in the future!

International Week 2016

The 21st of November, CITO had a booth at International Week on NCTU. We handed out gingerbread cookies, “glögg” and the new issue of Asia Magazine. Among other things, we talked to the NCTU students about studying in Sweden and what the actual ingredients in “glögg” are. We had a lot of fun, thank you all for stopping by our booth!

The office is officially opened again!
