Is this really climate-friendly? 🤔❄️
I'm wondering how fake snow and fake ice can be climate neutral or sustainable. But that was written on the side, and the Christmas Market has a full page written about it. Can anyone elaborate?

The German Nikolaus looks like Santa ? 🎅
📍 Erzgebirge, Germany
🇧🇪 In Belgium, we celebrate Sinterklaas on December 6th. The saint looks like a Bishop with white alps, a red mitre and a gold crosier.
🇩🇪 But in Germany or at least in the Erzgebirge, Nikolaus celebrated on December 6th looks like santa claus from Christmas 🎅

What should I do? 🇩🇪 soll ich mich beschweren?
On my way home my seat neighbour and I were exchanging stories of our delays. Bounding like real Germans.
But then, my train arrived too early 🫸🚂

Save this for next time you donate clothes !
It all started by trying to sell my clothes
♻️ I used Vinted but it didn't work, also Facebook Marketplace didn't seem the place to sell my clothes. They are from good brands and not torn, so I actually didn't get it. Also, I didn't have the patience to sit and wait for months.
Afterwards, I tried the flea market. But my 5 pieces of clothes got lost between 10 boxes of books and plates.
I would have loved to say that my initial thought was to donate the clothes. But to be honest, I also wanted to gain something small from it. In the end I only lossed time and gained nothing. 💸 😢
No, that's exaggerated. 😅
I tried and failed, that's a learning curve. And I discovered that I live very close to a clothing donation bin. Next time, I'll directly drop off my clothes here 🫶

The bin I used was from: @aktion_friedensdorf @aktion_friedensdorf_mg
Can you guess by my accent where I'm from?
Kannst du vonwegen mein Akzent raten wo ich herkomme? 😬
