Survival tip for the chilly season

02.December 2010 lisa

Winter hit Hamburg with a bang this week, with lots of snow and perceived air temperatures of -15 °C (5 °F). Let’s just hope that it won’t get as bad as it was last winter, when you could have practically ice skated to work every single morning.

Apposite to the current season and weather, the tolingo headquarters are looking Christmassy. Not everyone here approves of festive decorations though (we do have a couple of “grinches” in the office). But pretty much everyone is warming up to one very popular German Christmas tradition: Glühwein (mulled wine).

Conveniently found at any of the local Christmas markets here in Hamburg-Altona, it certainly is one of the best ways to get through the cold season. Just try it out if you haven’t yet.
