What am I talking about, you might ask?
MUGS!!!
Well everything started when a close friend of mine,Vincent came to visit me last Wednesday. I went to fetch him in Düsseldorf.As it's his first time in Duesseldorf, we thought of exploring the city together and I could show him some of the interesting places in the capital city of NRW.We were walking along the streets, heading to the Weihnachtsmarkt in Düsseldorf...
Before I continue the story, let me enlighten you all with the term Weihnachtsmarkt.
A Christmas market (Weihnachtsmarkt) is also known as Christkindlmarkt, Christkindlesmarkt, Adventmarkt, and Gluehweinsmarkt.It is a street market associated with the celebration of Christmas during the four weeks of Advent. These markets originated in Germany and Alsace but are now being held in many other countries.
Popular attractions at the market include the Nativity Scene (a crèche or crib), Zwetschgamännla (figures made of decorated dried plums), Nussknacker (carved Nutcrackers), Gebrannte Mandeln (candied, toasted almonds), traditional Christmas cookies such as Lebkuchen and Magenbrot (both forms of soft gingerbread), a sort of egg bread with candied fruit, Bratwurst, and for many visitors one of the highlights of the market: Glühwein, hot mulled wine (with or without a shot of brandy), or Eierpunsch (an egg-based warm alcoholic drink).

My friend said he would like to collect the mug sold at the Weihnachtsmarkt...When you drink a mug of Glühwein or Coffee or Hot Chocolate at the Weihnachtsmarkt, you'll have to pay extra for the mug...it's like a deposit..If you return the mug you'll get your money back, but you can also keep the mug as remembrance.The latter was what we did...and the rest is history...
We went from one city to another in two days...We managed to go to 4 Weihnachtsmarkt in NRW and collected a number of mugs of different shapes and colours.Happie!!!
