Xmas in Finland

Sunday it took me only 45 minutes to get to a finnish Xmas market. No flights needed; I walked it. The finnish congregation had organized a lovely bazar in the Finland center in Kreuzberg, with delicacies I had missed so much lately, and even traditional finnish Xmas dishes. I had to have it, all of it, the ham and the liver pie and the carot pie, and the herring salad. And to top it all, the joulutortut with freshly made glögi - mulled wine. :)
I was pondering whether I should buy a handwoven carpet, or some decorations, or a mumin calendar, but only took some Paulig Juhla mokka, Fazer rye bread, and Auran sinappi (mustard). And some homemade pulla. I enjoyed talking with nice people, all in a xmassy mood, had a great time, and should go there more often. Definitely. Maybe even learn the language there?
Afterwards I went to the Baden-Württemberg wine tasting at Tempelhof airport. It was for free, and it was a lot. I chose a few wines I had never drunk before, like pinot blanc de noir, and lemberger weißherbst. Not too much, though, the glögi had been quite enough already. ;)
