I spent three hours walking around the Wiesbaden Christmas Market yesterday. Four observations:
1. If you measured things, comparing to 2019's market....being the last market before Covid crap started....I'd say we are 95-percent back to a normal Christmas market.
2. Inflation is extremely obvious. Most everything is a minimum of 20-percent higher. Bowl of soup which was 4.90 Euro four years ago.....is now around 6.50 Euro.
3. If you stand in one location....about every fifteen minutes, you will notice a police patrol (2 folks) walking by...in the market area. Lot of security.
4. Everything has the look and feel of the last full-up market before Covid. But you notice about every minute or two....a serious coughing attack from someone in the crowd.
