German Christmas!

December 11th and 12th

On Friday night a group of us headed to Osaka to experience a little bit of Germany at the German Christmas Markets! We enjoyed beer, mulled wine, gingerbread, German potatoes and of course sausages! It was held under the Umeda Sky Building which is about 70 floors. We went to the top and had an amazing view of Osaka.

On Saturday we had another German Christmas party at our German friend, Stefan's house. We did the traditional Feuerzangenboule which is a huge block of sugar sitting over a pot of fruit and wine and spices. You then soak the sugar with high alcohol rum and set it on fire! It was amazing to see and we played secret Santa afterwards!
