Ailie in the Wonderland- chapter 16

Hi all! I can hardly believe that 4 months have already passed, and Christmas is coming also! This week there is the opening of the Weihnachtsmarkt, or Christmas Market, and it feels like the New Year Bazaar in Hong Kong indeed. In the Weihnachtsmarkt people eat, drink and shop -- for me eating is the most interesting thing to do!

What to eat and drink? The musts are Knackersemmel mit allem (Regensburger sausage with mustard, Gurkin and horseradish), Dampfnudel (the steamed bun in vanilla sauce), crepes (I love that with strawberries plus chocolate sauce!), heisse Mandeln (roasted sweet almonds), Gluehwein (a hot alcoholic drink with red wine, rum, orange juice and spices).... and many more!

And sure you cannot miss all those handcrafts for sale here... as everyone has to buy gifts for Christmas!

See these beautiful ceramic lamps! And some are in the shape of Regensburg Cathedral also.
The beautiful lampshade! The snowball decoration
With the schoolmates Another speciality - the half meter sausage
There are 33 different Gluehwein for sale here, and now I try to taste one by one, each day and night...
And it is a good idea to collect Gluehwein Mugs also, just cost 3DM And the yummy roasted nuts!
The steam buns... Don't miss the crepe with fresh fruits!
The organ man in Bear outfit.... and cigarettes... that is quite funny to see a smoking bear. :> Sure it is the time for charity! On streets there are some second hand merchandise sales for charity...
