Christkindlmarkt at Grand Hyatt Taipei





Grand Hyatt's first Christmas market.

Whoever has been in Germany knows a visit to a christmas market is a must to feel the unique seasonal ambience.

The market will not just offer you lots of delicious food and sweets from the German Executive chef, but also offer a variety of little stands where you can buy beautiful christmas decoration from Germany like nutcrackers & smokers, toys and unique handicraft items as gifts for your families.

A series of children activities, including story-telling, santa claus, kids entertainer, board games and doing handcraft with the kids will also will be highlights of the Christmas Market.

Date: December 4 & 5
Time: 2.00pm to 9.00pm (opening at 12:00 noon on Saturday)
Venue: Grand Hyatt Taipei, Grand Residence II&III


That event i had waited for was an utter disappointment!! It didnt look anything like the pictures... the food was nothing German, the drinks were, well, we only drank juice, there wasn't any beers or wine.

The only thing that caught our eyes were the stalls selling Christmas decors, bags and jewelry but they were way overpriced!! A zodiac 'light ball' for $1,280ntd!! seriously?? Was gonna get a pair of pearl earrings but was dragged away by a really bored 3 year old.

We had to toys r us to buy a gift for Shan Shan's Birthday tomorrow and Brendan got a gift for Christmas too!! :)
