Fall has long since deserted us and the winds of winter have descended once more and not in a good George R.R. Martin kind of way. Still, with wintry embrace of cold comes the holiday delights of Christmas Markets Seoul 2016! So I hope you don’t have plans this weekend. Bah, even if you do, cancel them! Tomorrow evening on Saturday December 3rd, from 4:30 until 8:00 pm the doors to the German Christmas Market will be thrown open to one and all. It all goes down at the German International School in Hannam Dong. Once there you can immerse yourself in the German Christmas experience.
When it comes to the winter holiday season the Germans don’t hold back. You’ll find homemade traditional German goodies including sausages, soups, cookies, waffles and my personal favorite-Glühwein (mulled wine). There will also be loads of things to do like crafting, games, a mini cinema for kids, gingerbread decorating, and even a magician.

But don’t fret if Tomorrow is too short notice to get over to the German Market. Fear not, because next week on Saturday December 10th you can pop over to the European Christmas Market! Admittedly, the last time I attended the market happened to be way back in 2011. So, as you can imagine, I’m eager to go back and get my Christmas on.
