One more night

Oh, is there ever a more exciting day than the day Christmas markets start (more or less) everywhere!

I will of course be in Maastricht for uni tomorrow and walk past the Christmas market there which won’t really have started because it’s not even remotely close to dark yet by the time I walk to the bus stop BUT THEN.

Then, when I get off the bus here in Aachen, it will be dark and I will have to run to the store because I can’t on Saturday because my friend N is coming to visit me and we’re gonna hit the World Press Photo exhibition in Maastricht; and as I’m walking to the store I will be walking past the booths and all the happy people, all the tourists, all the joyful children, all the festive lights, all the seductive scents of food and cinnamon and oranges and fries and mushrooms and glühwein - give or take a few obscene state fair foods.

Oh my God, I cannot wait.

I’m sure there’s a blurry cell phone picture to come.
