Danish Christmas market

Annually the danes host a Danish Christmas market at the school campus. Several thousands come to shop all the Christmas essentials like different foods and decorations. The sports hall was filled with booths where you could buy or eat anything that had to do with the Danish Christmas traditions. The event really got the christmas spirit going.

This year though the market was slightly different because of the raised threat level in Belgium from 3/4 to 4/4. Armed police were patrolling the whole campus, even up in the corridor right outside my bedroom and police were stationed in the window above the main entrance. We were not especially under a threat but as it was a big event precautions had to be taken.
