Day 1: Paris (France) - Berlin (Germany)


9 Days Eastern Europe map

We took an easyJet flight again, it was a very smooth landing, so smooth that we didn't know we had landed.

Alexanderplatz
After checking in to hotel we went to Alexanderplatz for christmas market. It was one of the biggest with a lot of kiosks selling christmas decorations, handicrafts, food like sausages and steak, and hot wine. Other than the kiosks they also had ferris wheel, roller coaster and all kind of theme park games. Despite the rain, the market was very very crowded. I loved the atmosphere here, which reminded me of the Oktoberfest in Munich. But the size of this market was much smaller than Oktoberfest.

Lumumba - hot chocolate drink with brandy and whipped cream on top.

It was yummy but the angmoh laughed and said "no good, too sweet" hahaha.. I guess it's for kids :P
