Devouring lovers and a Christmas market

Today is the first day in December and I went outside to visit the Hamburger Bahnhof Gallery and the WeihnachtsZauber Gendarmenmarkt Christmas Market.

The “Devouring Lovers” exhibition by Eva Fàbregas is now going on in Hamburger Bahnhof Gallery and here are some photos I shot there today.

This year’s Gendarmenmarkt Christmas Market is not held in the Gendarmenmarkt, but in the historic Bebelplatz on Unter den Linden avenue. The official website says the reason is the climate-appropriate redevelopment of the Gendarmenmarkt and the Christmas market will be relocated to Bebelplatz from 2022 to 2024.

We are cheese lovers and ate different kinds of cheese and cheese based snack mixes today in the Christmas market and they were so delicious!

Besides that, today is Friday so there were a lot of visitors there and some intriguing activities were held, like the stage performances and the “snow queen” on stilts.

Inevitably, winter is already here and the day got dark very soon. Actually, it was totally dark at 5pm. So I think visiting colorful places like these can help man avoid winter depression and generate more energy to deal with some important work.

Cold air also cooled me down and gave me a clear mindset to think about what I should do in the last month of year 2023.

I had a happy and meaningful day!
