Christmas Shopping

All the different wursts to tempt you
The most important part of a supermarket in Germany is the beer section. I call it paradise. Deciding which beer to have from the endless wall of crates is very hard. I can be a little like a kid in a lolly shop :)


The real business of Christmas is the Christmas decorations. Most of these are hand-crafted, wood, little toys and figurines, rotating panoramas powered by hot air rising from candles, pyramids with carved Nativity scenes. But theres also the music, the Weinachmarkts, the lights…. You know its Christmas here. Unlike Australia where it just seems like more advertising, or Portugal where it’s a little haphazard.
Im a little concerned about some of the things associated with xmas in germany though.
Im not sure what sex-bread tastes like. But Im sure its cheap at the price.
