European Christmas Markets

Last time I was writing about Christmas Markets in Poznan, so today I decided to continue that topic and present you some of the most impressive Christmas Markets in Europe.

1. Viennese Christmas Market, Austria

Vienna holds not one but about 7 Christmas Markets, situated all around the city- it’s a great attraction for the visitors. Tired after whole day of sightseeing in the freezing cold winter weather, they can warm themselves with hot cocoa or mulled wine. Christmas Markets fit perfectly with beautiful Austrian architecture and they’re look even more spectacular in the evening when all the lights are lit. You can truly feel the holiday atmosphere!

2. Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen, Denmark

Tivoli Gardens is an amusement park situated in the centre part of Denmark’s capital city. It was opened in 1843 and for sure has it’s charm. During December it turns into huge Christmas Market where you can buy special delicacies, ornaments, etc. They managed to create the real Nordic Christmas Atmosphere thanks to the cute wooden houses, artificial snow on the trees and thousands meters of fairy lights.

3. Frankfurt Christmas Market, Birmingham, UK

So called “largest authentic German Christmas Market outside of Germany or Austria”. About 30 stalls selling local beers, British sausages and many, many other things. Only here you can “meet” Chris Moos, the singing moose – one of the star attraction of the Market.

Of course the list is much longer, I decided to mention only some of European Christmas Markets, but we can forget about Strasbourg, Prague, Krakow or Berlin ….

How did fitness tracker help resolve murder investigation?

Lately, I came across an article about how fitness tracker helped resolving the murder investigation. Out of curiosity, I’ve decided to read it cause it appeared to be quite unusual. So, not to prolong: thing was happening in California. 67-years old woman was found in her house with wounds around her head and neck. Last person who saw her that day was her father, 80-years old Anthony Aiello. While asked about their meeting, he testified that they ate together and that they parted on good terms. Little did he know, that his daughter wore a fitness tracker on her wrist. Smartwatches like this can show us how many steps we make during the day, what’s our daily calories intake and among many others: they can measure our heartbeat. So, as you may have already guessed: the police with a help of the tracker could easily estimate the time of the death…and surprise, surprise: It happened to be exactly while she was supposed to be having a meal with her father. This time technology has ...

Must read

Hi, guys! How's life? What have you been up to? If you by any chance found out how to be a productive person, please make sure to let me know, cause I'm still having difficulties with adopting to the fact that the academic year has officially begun. I, personally, have spent most of my summer reading crime stories and I just must admit that there's one, in particular, I enjoyed. Have you ever heard the name A.J. Finn? No? OK, so you have to change it, cause I can assure you, it'd be worth it. The book is called The Woman in the window . Anna Fox, the main protagonist, is a middle-aged woman, living on her own in the beautiful house in the suburbs. She spends most of her days drinking wine and watching people. Yes, she's literally spying on her neighbours. And there wouldn't be anything interesting about that, were it not for the discovery she's about to make. The key word in describing this book would be: the truth. While reading it, we have the...

Spoons of Victory

Do you remember the African Vuvuzelas from the 2010 World Cup? Well, Russia is no worse than RPA, they also have their special instrument for this occasion. 'Spoons of Victory': their shape resembles the letter 'V' like 'Victory' that they are about to achieve. The instrument was invented by Rustam Nugmanov and is supposed to help tapping the rhythm of the songs without causing as much rumour as Vuzuelas . The 'Spoons' are made entirely out of the wood and look more like a kitchen supplies than something that imitates the sound. Fans can bring them to the match and if they don't own one, it can be purchased at the venue. Do you think they'll repeat the success of Vuzuelas ?
