Creator's Key Takeaways
I think doing a Christmas market solo is not perhaps the best thing. I think it is a social activity rather than a solo activity.
The big thing that disappointed me was how difficult it was to get vegetarian food in Hamburg.
I think for me the big thing was going just on your own. It was a really different experience and I just felt a little bit sad sometimes.
It was really, really easy to get vegetarian food. I really enjoyed the glue vine. It was hot. It was sweet.
