Glücksschwein, thank's to Mr. Riegger :)

Finally i got my parcel two days ago XD I thought it was lost somewhere. This is my first time got package with stamps on it.. hehe :p Maybe that's why they took forever to deliver it. Also the postman or the custom officer seems like play soccer with it HAHA! The box is not a box anymore. But anyway, I'm happy it arrived :)

So, this is what I got from Markus ^^ ,, three chocolate plates, one small pack chocolate, a Schweinchen piggy (Glücksschweinchen), a pink scarf and a birthday card :). Those chocolate from local bakery, Hofkonditorei, Röcker. I tried those three chocolate plates, and all taste yumm! Especially the dark chocolate with mint (Knusperminz), taste good and have minty cooling sensation (of course because it's mint!) and something crispy inside. The milk chocolate taste soo sweet and have the sugar decoration is crunchy, like it! And the last, plain dark chocolate, taste like dark chocolate :p But yum!

Complete package :) Look at those chocolates XD

So last night, he showed me how the chocolates looks like before he send it. It looks so pretty XD Look at the christmast decorations on it. Ow, Mr. Postman, what have you done to this cute stuff.

The chocolates shape before sent to Indonesia

The last, i havent try this cute Glücksschwein ^^ it's too cute to be eaten, Haha! But this cute piggy a little bit smashed XD It supposed to be chubby piggy.. now it's like skinny piggy

Skinny Glücksschweinchen

The angle to take pic ;p

Markus said that this piggy only available during Christmas and New Year. This Glücksschweinchen also called Marzipan, made from sugar or honey and almond meal, sometimes augmented with almod oil or extract. So, you must be wondering why piggy can be symbol of luck. A common saying in Germany is "ich habe Schwein gehabt", literally translated : I have had pig, which means I've been lucky! The saying is believed to have originated with German farm families, who counted themselves lucky if they had ad pig, which meant they would have meat to survive the winter. Hehe.. good story. So, i will try it tonight XD and I will let you know how it taste (sweet of course!) and I hope I will lucky this year :)

Love, Ninu
