GERMANY AND X-MAS FAIRS!

The german X-mas markets are here!



And it was a lot of fun to drink glow wine (but it doesn´t tast as good as the nowegian "gløgg") and to walk around an see the nice bazaars AND: to slide in the snow-slide in the fair yesterday!! At Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, the german X-mas market was yesterday discovered with some of my new volunteer-friends. Now I have a really nice cup that says "Winterwelt am Potsdamer Platz" as a memory.

Yeah, its Christmas soon! I want the snow to be here so I can drink hot chocco and wear wool socks and walk (read: run!) in the snow with winter-boots. And: have an exuse to buy a new nice and warm sweather... or maybe that lovely x-mas party dress! Mm!

I´ve heard that X-mas markets are very typical for Germany. Iselin, a friend of mine (that also is a norwegian but that has been living in Germany before me, she now lives in Brussels) told me that they have special german x-mas markets in Hyde Park in London (she has also been living there), where everything on the menu are written in german and its almost only german people that go and work there. Wow! Why don´t we have this in Norway? Answer: Wel, its not that much fun without the glow wine... (an in Norway you cant drink in the street.)

Here are some more pics from yesterdays X-mas fair:
