So the German Christmas market opened tonight. I went for the lighting of the tree and for the fireworks. The fireworks were quite amazing and they shot them off from below the castle. The temperature outside tonight was very cold, about 31 degrees. I managed to squeeze through the crowd of thousands to a smaller area of the market where they were serving mulled meade (spiced fermented honey wine) in a nice hot mug. There was such a large crowd of people on opening night. It literally took me 20 minutes to get out. The entire time I was wedged between several people. Was not very fun...
I may go tomorrow morning since they open at 10am and it will be less busy. That will give me a chance to go see the different stands that are there and I might be able to find a few presents there. Finished this week of lectures and next week is revision week for everything we have done. They are going to give us revision lectures. The week after is a self-revision week and the following week will be exam week! Ahhh! I've got tomorrow off, so have a three day weekend to get some good studying in.
I hope everyone has plans to eat delicious turkey? I miss being back home for Thanksgiving with the family. I will be having my big dinner on Saturday. There is a group of people hosting a party on Saturday and there should be around 18 people or so. I can't wait to fill my belly with yummy turkey! I'm going to prepare smoked salmon rolls for appetizers. Should be delicious! Anyway, hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!!
