Worms, Osthofen (7 Dec 2008)











Wormser Weihnachtsfest was pretty & big, but much less touristy than Heidelberg.

Bought a Nutella Herz Waffle, but after 1 bite, realized that it was not fully cooked, so with my lousy german, explained the situation to the stall holder. Luckily, he understood what I was trying to tell him, & apologized by giving me 2 very hot & crisp Nutella heart waffles (i happily gobbled both up by myself. Ja! It feels shiok to eat waffles, Kartoffelpuffer, vanilla Dampfnudel, Thuringenwurst & drink hot Glühwein while strolling through the 4°C Weihnachtsmarkt....
Had 2 cups of Glühwein before deciding which cup to keep as souvenior (Worms has 4 designer cups). But the italian eis shop was closed, so couldn't eat any eis (& who except me will be so crazy to eat eis on a frosty nite??????)

After the hearty dinner, I rode over to Osthofen, and Andreas' parents picked me up at the Bahnhof to the Kirche for the Jahre's concert. I was a 'special guest of honor', coz I was the first singaporean at their concert! Ha! But I could not say anything coz most of the elderly could not speak english, & my german vocabulary is limited to Schön, Super, Gut, Danke......

It was 1030 pm when I reached home & gosh, the weather had turned drastically cold, Sundaz nite was 3°C & Monday morning was terrible, -1°C.
