要過聖誕節囉！

Xmas is coming.... ^^

週四去曼城拿我的義大利行申根簽證，順道經過了這個Xmas Market。

On Thru., I went to manchester to pick up my shuiga visa for Italy trip. Then, we passed by this Xmas market.

這樣的市場是近五年才開始的，各個城市幾乎都會有這樣小型的市場，賣聖誕樹、聖誕吊飾、聖誕巧克力、鬆餅、德國香腸、美麗的蠟燭…etc.

This kind of Xmas market just started in the past five years, and almost every city would have this kind of small market selling Xmas trees, Xmas decoration, chocolate, German sussage, and stylish candles.

市場的中心通常會有小酒屋(pictures are as follows)，提供特別應景(就是聖誕節才推出)的飲料，大家去逛市場的時候一定要去喝喝看，在此推薦兩款飲料：Ladies Chocolate Surprise、Mulled Wine。前者是熱巧克力加上愛爾蘭酒跟奶油，酒精味並不強，讓女生在這種天氣喝了之後會暖活起來；後者是Hot Wine加上香料，會有點辣辣的，融合出非常特別的口感。

In the middle of the market, normally there is a German bar, providing 'Xmas' drinks. When you guys have chance to visit, you have to try these two drinks: Ladies Chocolate Surprise and Mulled Wine. The first one is hot chocolate with Irish wine and cream, but the alcohol is not that strong, just for girls to warm up in this cold weather. The later one is hot wine with hergs, therefore it tastes a little bit spicy, giving me a very interesting taste.

(About the cup of Mulled Wine, they will charge you about £2.50 in advance in order to prevent you take the cup away. You can get your money return after finishing your drink and return the cup to the shop.)
