12. German Xmas markets taking safety measures

Hello!! How it's going? 

Christmas Day is coming soon. My favorite Christmas tradition is the Christmas market originated in Germany, so today I will share this year's market there.

In line with the new normal...🎄🎄 

As seen Christmas market in Kumamoto every year, we love to celebrate the holy event and gather to warm ourselves. This time of year is a rousing period for them as well. However, the thing is drastically different from normal years. Owing to the spread of COVID-19, all close-contacts are supposed to avoid these days. (3Cs is one of the hot words this year!!)

Amid the disaster, they commenced hosting a drive-in event taken inspiration from the fast-food chain. In one of the towns, they had 500 cars in one weekend!! It was a big day for them to get the rope of boosting the economy. 

Merry Merry Christmas... 
It's awkward to take my friends out at ease. I'm going to be involved in the Kumamoto version of the Christmas market next week. When it sealed "safety measure taken," it proves that at least the stalls are reliable and take physical-distancing. Therefore, if you want to get out and enjoy shopping, how about seeking them?
