Saturday in Nurnberg

It was a amazing saturday morning, me and ken woke up at 4am in the morning to help out at Kraft Bakery. We had a great time preparing and helping a bit here and there.........it's fun to experience the so called "family business" enviroment.
Everything was ready before 6am, this is the time for business. It's a wonderful experience to see people come to buy breads,buns and cakes in this early hour. All those fresh baked delicious breads, buns and cakes look so tempting and yes they taste "mama mia".

Business was so good and was creating traffic jam at the main entrance to Kraft Bakery. People come and go........ Was told that this phenomenon only happen on every Saturday. Why ? Heheheh.....please ask me. :P

We take a short nap and wake up at around 2pm to feed on our brunch for the day.
It was sausages and ham......with salad and not forgeting the home made breads and buns.
*Blurp* after eating we head to 2 level into Andreas lair to watch Germany VS Sweden on his big screen projector beamer.

Deutschland won 2-0 ,...... *prost Deutschland*

Later in the evening, we head to a feast called Sun Turn Festival. Wonder why ? It is because this week will be the longest day time in the Summer......and the day will slowly become shorter toward the Spring time. We take a nice evening walk to the area, it is located about 2km from the place we are staying. Get to know that this feast is organise by the village Fire Department.
The atmospehere at the feast is great........children having fun, nice BBQ fish and pork.....not forgeting the giant jar of beer.......hahaha. * it should be a mug....but for us it kinda like a jar.
It's time for the elder and young one in the village to get together and have fun.

Here we do the "Prost"....meaning "Cheer' in British or "Yum Seng" in Cantonese for the Malaysian.




This picture is funny.....look like i'm crawling out from the mug......






After some drink....here come the dinner.
We had BBQ pork chop, Mmmmmmmm.......it taste so tender and juicy.
To add in is the BBQ mackerel fish......"fuiyoh" one bite.... for sure you will ask for more......it was so delicious and juicy.....will leave the fishy yummy taste inside your mind.



The mackerel fish below may look not so appealing but.....do not judge a book by it cover.
Hahahaha !!!!



To heat up the feast, at around 10.30pm the Fire Department set up a camp fire that is about 3 to 4 storeys building high. This is the most giant camp fire i had ever seen.
There is a story of old days saying couple of lover (the boy) will jump over the camp fire to show the love and "machoness" of the boy to the girl at this feast. (of course not at the peak of the fire, usually is done at the end when the fire is about to saturate).....anyone out there wanna give it a try ? sound so "macho".....hahaha.

This kind of feast will be celebrate thru out Germany in all villages. Just imagine if the picture is taken from aerial view (the giant camp fire) .....it will be like little hotspot all over Germany.
