Stuttgart Winter Wine Market

Stuttgart from the mountain top view. Snow capped and very cold. Drive like an idiot with no wheels in the snow on summer tyres all the way to the top only to find that they have a subway station there???? Duh????

This is the traditional place and event in winter for Germany, the Christmas Winter Wine Market. It is a world famous festival with traditional goods up to 4 km long!

Town Centre of Stuttgart, the concert hall in the background I think. Here we see people feeding ducks so that the animals will shit all over the place till it is ugly.....who does this, the TURKS....who live off the tax payers.

Me at the scenic view. Make no mistake, the lake is frozen, the matte finish is ice! Not snow. The background mountain is full of nice houses and there is a subway train all the way to the top.

The City Town Square. Here alot of students come here and lots of other street performances and pigeon feeding in summer time.

Rathaus, the city hall of Stuttgart. I chance upon the winter night market by chance, borne chaunce as the french calls it. In my walking, came along a long way and found it! Never thought it existed before that????Duh????

Goodies for the holidays, bought one enbedded candle here, purely transparent, like glass. Kena whack 14 Euros for it, but never mind, very nice.

When hungry, can get 14" sausage, almost 1 kg in weight.....until jelak! But always come with bun. Go for the curry wurst, best in the woollagum.

Nice flowers for the door, the $20 Euro whackers! But very nice handiwork and patience, like Calvin Tan on his leaves!

You call hobby....they call us sissy....look at their hobby! Machine a real super powered 1:10 scale steam powered train! That is what I call a good hobby....a million dollars of equipment anyone?

Nativity Scene. Real animals, but fake humans in the scene.

Eggs used as art craft!

Traditional Wood Carvings of Germany

Ginger Bread and smoked meat, bought some ginger bread for my kids.


Hungry and cold....but happy.
