Ciao
a tutti!!
I’ve
left behind 3 months in Italy. Time is passing fast. This month my
topic is ‘Christmas Markets’ because I wanna write about
something new for me. Christmas Markets
have
been opened
in
the
end of November. I didn’t know anything about Christmas Market
before, because
there isn’t any
in
Turkey. Therefore I saw it for
time first time in Italy.
I
wanna explain a little bit what
the Christmas market is
for who doesn’t know. The market is open area and it consists of
huts. The opening and closing time depends on the city, but I
think the atmosphere is more beautiful at the evening because of the
lights.
Firstly
I went to Christmas market in Bolzano. It was the first opening day,
that's why it was so crowded. There were long queues to buy hot wine
or some special food. So my first experience I just saw the
atmosphere. The second time I went in Trento. Here the Christmas
Market is bigger than in Bolzano. Finally I tasted the hot wine. It’s
quite delicious and also good choice to be warm. Except wine there
are lots of kind desserts and decorations for Christmas. But the bad
side is that everything is expensive. I think it’s expensive due to
its traditionality and it's only for one month per year. Anyway, I
went to see also another Christmas Market in Arco and this Christmas
Market is the top of one in Trentino-Alto Adige. There are more huts
and more food.
Markets
are open area but you can smell different food every five meters when
you pass the each hut. But you can’t just pass, you feel like you
should taste all of them. So I think, everybody will get weight after
this month :))
Once
and for all it’s nice place to take hot wine and unwind the day's
tiredness with friends.
