Christmas everywhere

Last weekend I was in Hagen and Aachen. I went there to make sure they are ready for Christmas, too. Just kidding...

In Hagen I was to meet some of my fellow students. Oh my God, EX fellow students I should say to be precise. Unfortunately not too many actually came but we had a nice talk. The Christmas market in Hagen was more or less like every year and there were people who were already prepared for Christmas and others who better should skip this year;-) I talk about people who crossed the market swearing and looking very stressed.

Old Town Hall in Aachen

To Aachen I went because I had been there four years ago and had found it a very nice city. I hadn't much time to visit the important parts of it then. That's what I did now. I saw the Old Town Hall, the Cathedral, the Cathedral treasure and the Elisen well. And I found out that the museums there have quite strange opening times. Of course they have a Christmas market there. The people, however, are more friendly in Aachen. Honestly. For me Aachen is one of my favourite cities in Germany (not only because of the people).
