This is a picture of one Germany’s oldest Christmas markets: Dresden! It’s called “Striezelmarkt” and was first mentioned in 1434 (!!). Nowadays, the Striezel is more commenly known as “Stollen”, which is a famous German fruity christmas cake.
On the picture you can also see the famous wooden Christmas pyramid. Small versions can be found in many people’s homes during this time of the year. The city of Dresden is close to an area called “Erzgebirge” where these type of Christmas pyramids are made.

This is the menu of a place in Silver Lake (Los Angeles) that serves “Berliner Currywurst”. Awesome! I wanna go check it out!
I love that they write their menu partly in German. The funniest is the “Extrawurst”. It literally translates to “extra sausage” but it has a double meaning:
“eine Extrawurst gebraten bekommen” = (to) get a special treatment
