Weihnachtsmarkt vor Weihnachten

it's the time of the year again when christmas markets are sprouting like mushrooms! Münich, Berlin, Mannheim, Baden-Baden or  Bad-xxx or xxx-heim... (Germany comes up with the funniest and weirdest names for towns and cities, you just have no idea sometimes!) that aside, christmas markets are indeed very pretty. Glühwine und Schweinesteak mit Brötchen are the best combination!!! if it's not for the extremely cold weather the past week, i am sure i would have visited a few more by now! hopefully it gets a tad bit warmer this weekend ... until i have more photos taken in christmas markets and before i head back for my one month break! here are a few taken in Heidelberg's! =D  

巴登-巴登 & 元凯

what's more satisfying than spending a schönes Wochenende with a very loving couple, visiting my very 大佬，sipping on hot Glühwein below 0°C at the Weihnachtsmakrt and having a bowl of deliciously homemade hot noodle soup? =D (and getting stuck behind the chair while running back for a group photo)

soon!!! very soon!!!

for some reason, i feel extremely excited today! can't wait to see the both of you and have some life high sessions back home!!! =D soon nut, soon granny, soooooooon!!!
