Weihnachtsmärt

Today I got up early ish and went Christmas present shopping. Then I came back and just spent some time at home. In the afternoon I went into Zürich with my grandma and we went to the "Weihnachtsmärt", or Christmas market, in the main train station. Basically a Christmas-themed farmers market. It is so cool. There is also a giant tree decorated with Swarovski crystal ornaments that is basically the only lighting in the whole station after dark. It's gorgeous, and super sparkly. The picture doesn't do the sparklyness justice. (This is inside, by the way.)

We took a different way home than normal to see the lights down Bahnhofstrasse, the main road in Zürich. They were so pretty!

I also got a yummy "morechopf" (by the way that's a politically incorrect term, the politically correct version is "schoggi kuss", meaning "chocolate kiss" instead of "nigger/black person head"), which I've blogged about before. They're those yummy marshmallow-filled chocolate-covered things of deliciousness. Anyway, there was a hut selling just those in different flavors, so of course I had to get the zebra one. :)

The gorgeousness of the lights and the tree and the market almost made up for the ridiculous amount of people everywhere. Zürich alone has a population of almost 400,000?! (Kalispell is 20,000) Ew.
