Christmastime, Czech Style

Looks like Czech will have white Christmas this year.

It has been snowing for quite a while.

I can hear the Czech shouting hurrah!hurrah!

Why?

First because, snow=ski

The Czechs were anxious when the sun shone brightly on November and there's no snow in the mountain.

They are sad, because that means no snow, no ski

Just as additional information, usually Czechs are good at 3 things, those are swimming, mushroom picking and skiing (beer drinking is not considered a sport nor a recreation)

Throughout Europe, are Christmas markets at this time of the year.

Staying at home alone, I've been a lazy bum.

Last evening, I paksa myself to go to the Christmas market which was just 5 minutes away by foot.

When I arrived there, some of the stalls were done for the day.

Jsem agak smutny (saya agak sedih)

There was kids carolling and the grill cuma tinggal besi cocok veprove(pork)

The thing that I look forward to in any Czech Christmas market is always the wooden toys.

I bought a packet of cute wooden magnets for myself.

It was so cheap.

I paid 35 crown for 12 magnets.

And for little Hadif, I bought another hanging toy, this time, a water mill.

I dunno if I have my own kids.

I might buy the whole stall.

There were kiddos winter wear, selipar rumah made of wool, bow, senduk sudip kayu, aborigine goods, hot honey and christmas tree decorations.

I was keen to try langose but seeing the parek(sausages) were prepared on the same stall, I went for corn on the cob.

I don't know whether they eat it that way or I'm supposed to ask.

But mine don't have any butter or taste lightly salty.

Outside TESCO, there were 3 big tanks full of carps and fishmongers cleaning the fish.

Forget roast turkey or cranberry sauce, here Czechs have carp to substitute turkey, and potato salad.

On the other note, I've been stuffing myself with laksa, air mata kucing, keropok ikan and the likes.

I do a 1000 pieces puzzle which takes eternity to finish, watch few dramas, went to hospital for last checkup and all that.

Bad, bad, bad.

Can't wait for London trip.

Hope it gonna be a merry one.

Doctor said my hand is good despite me not going to physiotherapy.

I can do anything, including skiing, with exception that I don't fall again and broke my hand.

Since I'm a tropical girl, fall during skiing is unavoidable, at least for the time being.

In reality, fall is what happens most of the time instead of skiing.

We'll see if I can refrain myself from skiing/falling.

Till then, have a cherry, merry holiday peeps!
